Paintless Dent Removal
PDR is for qualifying dents where the paint is still intact. We look at dent size, depth, location, access behind the panel, and paint condition before recommending repair.
What PDR Can Help With
Paintless dent removal uses controlled pressure and reflection reading to move metal back closer to its original shape without sanding, body filler, or repainting.
- Door dings and parking lot dents
- Minor creases where paint is intact
- Hail damage estimates and repair planning
- Steel and aluminum panels when the damage, access, and paint condition make PDR a good fit
- Lease return dents that should be reviewed before turn-in
When PDR Is Not The Right Fit
We will tell you when PDR is not the right service. Deep stretched metal, cracked paint, sharp bodyline damage, previous body filler, or dents with poor tool access may need a body shop instead.
If a dent is unlikely to repair cleanly with PDR, we would rather explain the limitation than sell the wrong service.
How PDR Pricing Works
1. Send The Details
Share clear photos, where the dent is located, and whether the paint is cracked or scratched. For hail, include several photos across the vehicle.
2. We Review Fit
We check size, depth, panel access, paint condition, and whether the repair can be handled with PDR instead of conventional body work.
3. You Stay In Control
If online pricing is available, it is honored. If pricing is not listed yet, submit the update request and we will notify you when it is added. No repeated follow-up.
Real Hail Repair Examples
These photos show actual hail and PDR work: a blue Chevrolet Colorado roof before and after repair, plus glue pull repair with purple tabs. PDR lighting helps read the metal so the repair approach matches the panel, access, and damage.
Before: Colorado Roof Hail Damage
Reflection lighting shows the low areas and distortion before PDR work begins.
After: Roof Repaired With PDR
The panel is checked under PDR lights after repair so the metal can be read honestly.
Glue Pull Repair Process
Purple tabs are attached so controlled pulls can move metal when backside access or panel shape calls for that method.
Repair examples are not promises that every dent will finish the same way. Final results depend on metal stretch, paint condition, panel access, panel material, and damage severity.
Price Shopping PDR
If you are comparing a written dent repair quote, send how you received the price, what panel or damage it covers, and whether it is for PDR or conventional body work.
We review like-kind repair approach, damage scope, access, and finish expectations before approving or denying a price match request. You get a clear answer without calls, pressure, or back-and-forth chasing.
Common PDR Questions
Will PDR make the dent disappear?
Some dents repair extremely cleanly. Others improve but may still have a small trace depending on stretch, location, paint condition, panel material, and access.
Can PDR fix aluminum panels?
Yes. Aluminum is repairable with PDR, but it is harder than steel and requires more experience, pressure control, and patience. KOD has 20 years of PDR and hail repair experience, including hail repair work across the country.
Can paintless dent removal fix hail damage?
Yes, qualifying hail damage can be reviewed for PDR. Larger storms may require an estimate appointment and panel-by-panel inspection.
Do I need to book PDR right away?
No. We provide the information and pricing path. You decide when to move forward.
