How much does PDR usually cost?
Most small dings can be repaired in an hour or so. Larger dents may take several hours, and if this is the case we'll gladly work with you to shuttle the vehicle, give you a ride, etc.
It depends upon several factors, including access to the dent, its location on the vehicle, and the condition of the damaged metal. If you're not sure about the damage on your vehicle, just call us anyway and let us provide you with a free, honest assessment of what we can and can't do.
We have partnered with some outstanding independent paint repair technicians who can often repaint the damaged panel after we have repaired the dent. The results are excellent, and while the repair cost increases with painting, the total price is still usually 50% or less than a bodyshop.

What if my vehicle has paint damage?
Are you just using dry ice? Suction cups? Some vacuum machine?
The actual process involves slowly “massaging” the dents away from the inside of the damaged panel. Small, controlled pushes are made with various handheld tools, sometimes hundreds of times, to slowly craft the metal back into its original shape. The entire process is done manually.
Can’t I just buy one of those do-it-yourself kits and fix my own dent?
Those $20 "as seen on TV" kits work about like you'd expect. Check out this
