What Is PDR?

If you've not had hail damage before, chances are you are not familiar with Paintless De​nt Removal (PDR) repairs. You'll be happy to hear that PDR dent repair is performed in a fraction of the time needed for conventional body shop repairs, often in just 1-2 days for a car with hail damage. By retaining your vehicle's original panels and factory paint finish, paintless dent repair won't void any manufacturer's warranties, or generate CarFax reporting, insuring your car maintains the highest value possible. And since PDR uses no harsh chemicals, there's none of the toxic emissions that traditional body shop repairs create. 

​With these and many other benefits, it is no surprise that paintless dent removal has quickly become the preferred method for repairing hail damage and other minor dents. For more information about this revolutionary process, please visit our blog or check out these paintless dent repair and hail insurance claim FAQ's. If you need help with a hail car insurance claim or to schedule a free hail repair estimate or a day/time to drop off a vehicle for PDR dent removal, please call us toll free at (855)-5HAILFIX or visit your nearest Dealer's Hail & Specialty PDR Dent Repair location today!  
Paintless dent repair, also known as paintless dent removal, or PDR for short, is a highly skilled metal working craft developed specifically for removing minor dents from the panels of an automobile. It is also used to repair larger dents, creases, and hail damage. Using special tools and lights, a PDR technician carefully applies pressure by making a series of pushes to the underside of a dent, releasing the tension created by the dent and relaxing the metal back to its stamped shape.

What Is Paintless Dent Repair (PDR)?

Paintless dent removal, also known as paintless dent repair or PDR for short, is a highly skilled method of auto body repair used to remove minor dents, dings, and hail damage from the panels of an automobile without damaging the existing paint or finish. The process is also used to repair larger dents and creases, as well as minor collision damage. Using special tools and lights, a PDR technician carefully applies pressure to the underside of a damaged panel by making a series of gradual pushes, slowly releasing the tension created by the dent and allowing the metal to relax back to its original stamped shape. The actual process of performing Paintless Dent Repair is actually very difficult, and most PDR technicians have to train for several years before they start to acquire the touch and feel necessary to work on a customer's vehicle. Because of the steep learning curve and level of difficulty, Paintless Dent Removal is a skill that is always in demand in almost any market.
When considering repair options, there are a number of benefits to using paintless dent removal. Vehicle hail repairs, in particular, performed with paintless dent removal are much less expensive than auto body shop hail repair methods, and because there's no sanding, painting, or replacing panels, PDR dent repair is also much faster. In fact, many hail damaged vehicles can be repaired with Paintless Dent Removal in only 1-2 days, compared to average repair times of about 3 weeks at most auto body shops. In addition, Paintless Dent Removal does not require  body fillers or harsh chemicals or solvents, making it a completely Earth friendly process, unlike auto body shop repairs which release harmful emissions into the environment. Best of all, since there's no CarFax data created, and because all of the vehicle's factory warranties are maintained, using Paintless Dent Removal keeps your car's resale value as high as possible.
Considering the reasons above, not too mention Paintless Dent Removal's many other advantages, it is no surprise that PDR has become the preferred repair method of car dent repair for insurance companies, dealerships, OEM manufacturers, and consumers all over the world.
