CAR DENT FAQS

A: As a shortcut, many PDR techs punch and drill holes in order to more easily gain access to the backside of a dent. In many cases, the car owner is never informed of this. There have been extreme abuses of this technique where multiple holes (5-7) were drilled on one panel and its’ integrity was compromised. Some insurance companies have adopted a “No drilling†policy because of these abuses from reckless PDR techs. Here’s my policy on drilling: 1. Most dents can be accessed without drilling. I have the proper knowledge & tools and take the extra time necessary to avoid drilling. 2. If it is impossible to remove the dent without drilling, or if a small hole will save you a significant amount of money, I will always inform you of this beforehand. The decision will be yours. 3. All small holes will be carefully placed, professionally rust-proofed, sealed, and plugged. They look like they naturally belong on the car.

A: Yes.

A: I fix dents that range from dime size to Basketball size. The most common size dent is maybe the size of a golf ball.

A: No. While most minor dents can be removed by PDR, not every dent qualifies. Especially in cases where the metal is deeply stretched, twisted, or rippled. When I encounter this problem, I can sometimes offer a traditional repair using bondo and paint if the dent is relatively small.

A: No, I guarantee it is completely permanent.

• A: The most important advantage is quality. This is the closest you can get to “like it never happened it the first placeâ€. I preserve your original, valuable factory finish. And the result is, “Wow! It’s Gone!†I save you valuable time since the average repair time is 1/2 to 2 hours (not days like traditional methods) I save you money since the average cost is approximately 10-50% off of traditional repair methods. My prices are usually less than your insurance deductible. Avoid a claim and possible rate increases. Fact: This process is so sensible, insurance companies have adopted it as the “preferred method†for repairing minor damage!

A: Paintless Dent Removal (PDR). This is the fastest, highest quality, and most cost effective method in the world for fixing minor dents. I use a specially designed board that casts a reflective pattern on the dent, ding or crease. Then, working from behind the panel, I use specially crafted tools to give your dent hundreds of gentle and precise pushes and “massage†the metal back to its’ original shape without bondo or paint.
