Paintless Dent Repair (PDR)

Paintless Dent Repair (PDR): Preserving Originality and Value

Car park scrapes, door dings and heavy hail leave unsightly dents in the body panels. Repairing this kind of damage with traditional filler and paint alters the car’s original factory paint thickness and can cause a significant loss of value, panel by panel, when the car is inspected for resale. Paintless dent repair (PDR) is a micron-precise technique that restores a panel to its original, flawless line within the elastic limits of the metal, without any damage to the paint.

Advanced PDR Methods We Use

• LED line reflector analysis: The lowest point of the dent, the angle of distortion and the tension lines of the metal are read with special PDR light panels. Every push is controlled to the millimetre according to how the panel’s lines reflect.
• Precision rods (rod technique): On door panels, rear wings and roofs, interior trim is removed as little as possible and the metal is worked from behind with micro-pushes using special alloy rods.
• Glue pulling: On pillars, sills and double-skinned areas that cannot be reached from behind, we use special thermoplastic tabs and controlled pulling tools that do not harm the clear coat.

Why Paintless Dent Repair?

• No loss of value: The car stays completely original in inspection reports; it does not show up as painted or repaired.
• No risk of colour mismatch: Because the factory paint is preserved, there are none of the problems with sun fading or colour differences that repainted parts can show.
• Same-day service: There is no waiting for filler, primer and paint to dry for days. Depending on the extent of the damage, the work can be completed the same day.
