What Exactly is PDR?
Paintless Dent Repair, or PDR, is also referred to as Paintless Dent Removal.
PDR is the recommended method of repairing your hail damaged vehicle–if this is an option for you. PDR is the only way to restore your vehicle to it’s pre-storm full book value.
PDR is the technique of manually massaging and sculpting metal damage back into its original shape. This is an art-form that takes many years to perfect. Elite Hail Systems employs elite technicians with 20+ years experience. (EACH, not combined.)
Our technicians use special tools and a variety of techniques to get under or around your exterior panels and gently bring your vehicle’s exterior back to its perfect shape. Hail dings and dents quickly disappear once our technicians get to work!
PDR FAQ
What is PDR?
PDR or Paintless Dent Repair is a method of removing minor dents and dings without removing any paint from the vehicle. This is done by very patiently massaging the dent out from the back of the panel using specialized tools.
What are the benefits of PDR?
The most important benefit is quality. This method is the closest you can get to the dent never happening in the first place. No grinding, bondo, fillers, or primers are needed because your original factory paint is not disturbed. There are no problems with filler or paint shrinkage months after the repair as is typical with most body shop repairs.
Cost is also a major benefit of PDR. Repairs are typically between one-quarter to one-third the cost of conventional dent repair. And with Elite Hail Systems, THERE IS NO COST TO YOU. We provide you with a free estimate, we cover your deductible, your car rental, and your insurance picks up the bill.
Time savings is yet another advantage. Many dents can be fixed in less than an hour. Hail damage is typically fixed in days with PDR. A traditional body shop may take 2-3 months for the same type of damage.
Environmental concerns are another benefit of PDR. Since this process keeps the original factory paint on your vehicle, there is no need for the paint, chemicals, or other toxins that are used extensively in body shops when repairing dents. PDR is 100% environmentally friendly.
Will my paint be damaged?
No. Today’s factory paints are very flexible and will not be damaged in any way by this process. PDR is the only way to repair a dent and still keep your factory paint.
Will my dents be 100% gone?
Yes.
Will my dents come back?
Absolutely not. Once a dent has been removed properly with PDR, it never comes back.
Can any dent be fixed?
No, not with PDR alone. The most important factors in determining if a dent can be repaired by PDR are depth and location. Dents the size of a dinner plate or larger can be fixed successfully, as long as they are not too deep. On the other hand, some dents that are as small as a dime but very deep, cannot be fixed using PDR because the metal is too stretched. Cracked paint can also be an indication that a dent is too deep.
The most common dents fixed are the size of a golf ball and under. Most (about 95%) minor dents can be repaired. About 5% of minor dents can’t be fixed due to depth or location. Areas such as some quarter panel opening lips, some forward areas of heavily braced hoods, or the very edges of some panels are examples of bad locations.
That being said, Elite Hail Systems has our own body shop. We can handle the sometimes more serious damage, that traditional PDR can’t handle… right in-house.
No screwing around with multiple companies and eye-gouging scheduling scenarios to get your ride restored.
