Paintless Dent Repair

Paintless Dent Repair Mobile Alabama

Paintless Dent Repair Mobile Alabama


We all know the frustration of finding an unsightly dent on your vehicle.  Maybe someone dinged your car in the parking lot, or you got caught under one of our Gulf Coast thunderstorms and your truck was damaged by hail.  Fortunately, the professionals at Affordable Auto Painting and Collision have a fix for that.  


Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) is a process where a dent technician uses specialized precision tools to reshape the metal to its original position, leaving the paint finish untouched. The dent is essentially erased-- like it was never there.  Even better?  It's quicker and less expensive than traditional body shop repair.  

We can use PDR to fix:

  • hail damage
  • door dings
  • minor creases
  • large dents
  • bodylines damage


How Paintless Dent Repair Works

A paintless dent repair technician typically works the dent from behind the panel where it can be reached, using specialized precision tools and small, controlled pressure to slowly work the metal back to its original shape. Because the repair doesn't involve sanding, filler or repainting, your factory paint stays exactly as it is.

 

When Paintless Dent Repair Isn't the Right Fix

PDR works best when the paint is still intact and the metal can be reached. It's usually not an option when the paint is cracked or chipped, when the metal has been stretched, or when a sharp crease can't be worked back without damaging the finish. If that's the case, we'll tell you and explain the other option, which is traditional body repair and repainting.


Hail Damage and Insurance

Hail damage is typically handled under the comprehensive part of your auto policy rather than collision, so it's worth checking your coverage before you call. Hail often leaves many small dents across several panels, and we can look over the whole vehicle and tell you what PDR can handle.
