Why to choose Paintless Dent Repair over Auto Body Repair

with: Paul Kordon, Dentmasters

There’ s no doubt that if you own and operate a vehicle you are going to experience a ding, dent, or even collision damage. Ever since the creation of the automobile there has been a need to repair body damage after an accident. Up until the refinement of Paintless Dent Removal (PDR) there were few options to repair auto body damage. Many times those options included replacing parts and/or repainting the vehicle. Advances in tools and techniques within the paintless dent removal industry have given highly skilled technicians the ability to push the boundaries of PDR and repair large and complex collision damage without the use of grinding, painting, body filler, or replacement parts. Rather than using these traditional methods of body repair, PDR technicians are able to slowly sculpt your car’s metal back to it’s original form with specialized tools, lights, and methods.

Here are the Top 10 Reasons to choose PDR after your next parking lot mishap or minor accident:

PDR allows you to maintain your superior factory paint
PDR allows you to retain the superior factory parts which often are stamped or labeled with matching VIN numbers
PDR helps to avoid a vehicle history report such as generated by CARFAX *
PDR helps to retain true pre-accident value
