What kind of dents can be repaired using Paintless Dent Repair?

There are several types of dents and dings that can be repaired using the Paintless Dent Repair process. Shopping cart dents, door dings caused by other vehicles in parking lots, dents caused debris that's blown around in a storm, dents in the body line damage, small parking lot accidents where one car might catch another vehicle with their bumper causing auto damage, things flying up off the road as you're driving like small gravel, pebbles, etc. that might dent or ding your vehicle to name a few.
Over the years, we have fixed a variety of damage with dent removal. Ladders falling on cars, boxes falling on cars, tree branches falling on cars, multiple types of storm damage. Of course, we’ve repaired hail damage up to the size of baseballs, golf ball size hail damage, racquet ball size hail damage, quarter size, half dollar size, dime size, and nickel size hail damage. All of these things can be repaired using the Paintless Dent Repair technique.
The art of Paintless Dent Removal works on so many different types of auto damage that it'd be hard to comprise a list of all of them. We love when people bring their vehicle by the shop and have a unique story of how they dented their vehicle that we haven't seen before. After 20 years of performing pdr, those types of stories are getting fewer and farther in between, but Paintless Dent Repair does work on really any type of dent where the paint is not damaged, the panel is not broken and there's access to the area to repair it. We love that paintless dent removal works on so many different types of dents allowing us to solve a large variety of different problems with pdr.
Also, at American Dent Specialists, we are masters in GPR, which is the glue pull repair method. GPR is used in instances where we can't access the backside of the panel. Companies like Keco and Camauto have pushed (pun intended) the way GPR and glue pulling can effectively repairs dents, dings and hail damage. The techniques and tools that we can use have sharpened the edge of that blade so much over the last few years making the dents that we used to not be able to take out within our skill set to successfully remove now that we can use GPR.
No matter what caused the auto damage, if the vehicle’s paint is not broken and the panel has still has integrity, we can take the auto dent out using Paintless Dent Repair. One of the other things we have to watch out for is the panel being too stretched, because that affects the integrity of the panel. If whatever caused the dent hit too fast and with too much force, and it stretched the bottom of the dents that affects our ability to return the panel back to its pre-damage state. However, 95% of the time, if you have a dent that does not have paint damage, that has good access, and the panel still has integrity, our pdr experts can be your dent doctor and remove the dent or ding from your vehicle quickly, while maintaining the value of your vehicle and saving you money. The biggest savings of time and value when it comes to paintless dent repair is realized when you experience auto hail damage! Hail damage can cause thousands of dollars of damage to your vehicle in minutes. American Dent Specialists works seamlessly with your insurance company to restore your vehicle back to its pre-damage condition for this no-fault claim quickly, keeping you out of a rental car for an extended period of time.
