Paintless dent repair (PDR) puts dented metal back in its factory shape with hand tools. There's no sanding, filler, or paint involved. We fix hail damage on hoods, roofs, deck lids, doors, pillars, and moldings. Every repair carries our lifetime warranty, and we're a BBB accredited business. It starts with a free inspection under lights, because that's where the real damage shows. Then we file the claim with your insurer and get to work.

What Is Paintless Dent Repair and How Does It Work

Paintless dent repair works by pushing each dent out from behind the panel. Our techs slide steel rods under the metal and press the dent up, a little at a time, until the panel is flat again. Where a brace blocks the rod, they glue a tab to the outside and pull the dent instead.

Most hail cars need both methods. Hoods have braces near the hinges and latch, so those spots get pulled. The open middle of the hood gets pushed.

The work happens under a light board. The board throws lines across the panel, and every dent bends those lines. So the tech sees each dent clearly, even the shallow ones you'd never spot in a parking lot.

We see it on almost every hail car: a hood that looks clean in the sun shows dozens of dents once it's under the lights.

Paintless Dent Repair Benefits

  • Factory paint kept. Your original paint stays on the car. No color match to get wrong.
  • Resale value protected. Original panels and paint are what buyers and dealers want to see.
  • Back in 7 to 10 days. A body shop that swaps panels often takes much longer.
  • Insurance pays. We cover your deductible up to $1,000 for the first 100 cars per storm.

How to Tell If Your Vehicle Needs Paintless Dent Repair

Your car needs paintless dent repair if it sat outside during a hail storm, even if it looks fine. Small hail leaves shallow dents that hide in daylight. Bigger hail leaves deeper dents and can reach pillars and door edges.

Check these spots first:

  • Roof, especially near the edges
  • Hood and deck lid
  • Pillars and door tops
  • Moldings and trim

But don't trust a driveway check. Our free inspection counts every dent on every panel and tells you which ones PDR can fix. The roof usually takes the worst of it, and it's the one panel owners can't see.

Paintless Dent Repair Keeps Your Car's Factory Finish

Factory paint is baked on at the plant. A body shop can't match that exactly. New paint can look a shade off in the sun, and it can wear differently over time.

PDR leaves your paint alone. We move the metal, not the finish. So your car keeps its original panels, its original paint, and its value.

This matters most if you plan to sell or trade in. A buyer who sees repainted panels starts asking questions. A hail car fixed with PDR doesn't give them anything to ask about.

Paintless Dent Repair vs. Body Shop Repair

A body shop fixes hail by replacing or filling panels, then painting them. PDR keeps the panels you have. Here's how they compare:

Paintless dent repairBody shop repair
PanelsOriginal panels stayPanels often replaced

Time7 to 10 days with usOften weeks, sometimes 1 to 2 months
DeductibleWe cover up to $1,000 (first 100 cars per storm)You usually pay it
Rental carFree if your policy has no rental coverageUp to your policy

You can pick any shop you want. Your insurer may suggest one, but the choice is yours, and insurance still pays. Many insurer-suggested shops lean toward replacing panels. We repair them. For the full hail picture, see our hail damage repair page.

When Dents Cannot Be Fixed With Paintless Repair

PDR can't fix every dent. A panel needs a body shop when:

  • The paint is cracked or chipped.
  • The metal is stretched on a sharp body line or door edge.
  • The panel has old body filler under the paint.

Our estimate marks which panels get PDR and which need paint, so you know before we start. On most hail cars, only a panel or two falls outside PDR. The rest keep their factory finish.

Our Lifetime Warranty

We back our paintless dent repair work with a lifetime warranty. If a repair we did doesn't hold, bring the car back and we'll make it right.

Paintless Dent Repair for Hail Damage and Insurance Claims

Paintless dent repair for hail damage is what we do every day. Hail counts as a comprehensive claim on your auto policy, not a collision claim. So one hail claim usually won't raise your rates.

Here's how it works with us. You drop off your car and drive away in a rental. We inspect every panel under lights and send the estimate to your insurer. An adjuster reviews it at our shop, usually the next day. Once it's approved, we start the repair.

And the cost to you? Insurance pays the repair. We cover your deductible up to $1,000 for the first 100 cars per storm. To see every step of the claim, read our guide to hail damage insurance claims.

We cover your deductible up to $1,000 for the first 100 cars per storm.

How Long Paintless Dent Repair Takes

Paintless dent repair on a hail car takes 7 to 10 days from drop-off to pickup. That time covers:

  1. 1Inspection and the estimate
  2. 2Insurance approval
  3. 3Taking off trim, lights, or the headliner to reach hidden dents
  4. 4The repair itself
  5. 5A final check under lights

Roof dents are the slow ones. To reach them, techs often drop the headliner inside the car. When we take parts off and find dents the first look missed, we send the extra damage to your insurer as a supplement. That's normal, and it means nothing gets left behind.

Where We Repair Dents and Hail Damage

We follow the hail. Our home base is the Denver metro, and we work with a network of PDR techs and partner shops wherever storms hit.

FAQs

Does Paintless Dent Removal Really Work?

Paintless dent removal really works on most hail dents, as long as the paint isn't cracked and the metal isn't stretched. Techs push dents out from behind with rods or pull them with glue tabs. An inspection under lights shows which dents PDR can fix.

What Dents Cannot Be Removed With Paintless Repair?

Dents with cracked or chipped paint cannot be removed with paintless repair. The same goes for metal stretched on a sharp edge and panels with old body filler. Those panels need body shop work. The rest of the car can still get PDR.

Will Insurance Pay for Paintless Dent Repair?

Insurance will pay for paintless dent repair on hail damage if you carry comprehensive coverage. Hail falls under that part of your policy. We file the claim with your insurer and cover your deductible up to $1,000 for the first 100 cars per storm.

How Long Does Paintless Dent Repair Take?

Paintless dent repair takes 7 to 10 days on a hail car. That includes the inspection, insurance approval, the repair, and a final check. You drive a rental the whole time.

Is Paintless Dent Repair Cheaper Than a Body Shop?

Paintless dent repair is usually cheaper than a body shop because nothing gets replaced or painted. On a hail claim, insurance pays either way. The difference is whether your car keeps its original panels and paint.

Will Paintless Dent Repair Show Up on My Carfax?

Paintless dent repair keeps your original panels, so there are no replaced parts to report. The insurance claim itself may still show on some vehicle history reports. Ask your insurer if you want to know what they report.

We cover your deductible up to $1,000 for the first 100 cars per storm.
