Fix It Without Filler, Primer, or Paint
What Is Paintless Dent Repair?
Paintless dent repair, commonly known as PDR, is the process of removing dents from a vehicle's body panels without disturbing the original paint finish. Using specialized tools, our technicians carefully massage the metal back to its original shape from behind the panel. There is no filler, no sanding, and no repainting, meaning your factory finish remains intact. PDR is appropriate for a wide range of dent types, from small door dings to larger creases and hail damage. We assess every vehicle individually before recommending an approach.

What we fix
Our Paintless Dent Repair Services
Door Dings
Door dings are among the most common forms of vehicle body damage, and one of the most frustrating. A few seconds in a parking lot can leave a mark that stands out every time you look at your car. Our PDR technicians can address the vast majority of door dings without touching the paint, leaving the panel looking as it should.
Hail Damage
Colorado's hail season can be brutal, and the damage it leaves behind ranges from scattered minor dings to extensive denting across multiple panels. Our team is experienced in hail damage assessment and repair, and we will give you an honest evaluation of what PDR can address on your specific vehicle before any work begins.
Crease Repair
Creases are more complex than round dents because the metal has been stretched and deformed along a line rather than a single point. Our technicians use the latest tools and techniques to carefully work crease damage back toward its original shape, minimizing the distortion without compromising the paint surface.
Large and Small Dents
Whether the damage is a small, shallow ding or a larger, more significant dent, our team will assess it honestly and let you know whether PDR is the right solution. We do not apply a one-size-fits-all approach. Every job is evaluated on its own merits.

Colorado Weather and Your Vehicle
Why PDR Matters for Colorado Drivers
Colorado Is One of the Most Hail-Active States in the Country
The Denver metro consistently ranks among the hardest-hit areas for hail damage. A single storm can leave dozens of dents across a vehicle's hood, roof, and trunk. For vehicles with intact paint, PDR is often the most practical and least invasive way to address that damage.
PDR Preserves Your Factory Finish
Traditional dent repair sands, fills, reprimes, and repaints the affected area, permanently altering your factory finish. PDR leaves the paint completely untouched, so your vehicle's finish remains factory from bumper to bumper.
A Faster, More Affordable Alternative to Traditional Repair
PDR, for the right type of damage, can frequently be completed in a fraction of the time and at a lower cost than traditional body shop repair. For Colorado drivers dealing with hail-season damage, that combination of speed, quality, and value is hard to beat.
FAQs
Your Paintless Dent Repair Questions Answered
How do I know if my dent can be repaired with PDR?
The best way to know is to bring your vehicle in for an assessment. PDR is most effective when the paint over the dent is intact and the metal has not been stretched beyond its limits. Our technicians will evaluate the damage and give you an honest recommendation.
How long does PDR take?
Turnaround time varies depending on the size and complexity of the damage. Smaller jobs like individual door dings can sometimes be completed the same day. Larger projects like extensive hail damage will require more time, and we will give you a realistic timeframe during your assessment.
Will PDR affect my vehicle's paint?
When performed correctly by experienced technicians, PDR does not affect your paint in any way. The process works entirely from behind the panel, massaging the metal back into shape without sanding, filling, or repainting.
Is PDR covered by insurance for hail damage?
Many comprehensive auto insurance policies cover hail damage repair. We recommend contacting your insurance provider to confirm your coverage before your appointment. Our team is happy to work with your insurer to help move the process along.
Is there pricing available for PDR?
All PDR pricing is based on a custom assessment of your vehicle's specific damage. Because no two dents are exactly alike, we do not offer standard pricing lists. Come in or give us a call and our team will evaluate the damage and provide a quote tailored to your situation.
