Paintless Dent Repair (PDR)

Paintless dent removal (PDR) has become widely used over the past decade by, car dealers, rental agencies, auctions to prepare vehicles for resale. Yet very few consumers are aware the process exists.

Paintless Dent Removal (PDR) is the art of removing minor dents and dings without sanding, filling, or painting. A Technician removes dents and dings from the painted sheet metal panels of a vehicle using a specialized set of tools and techniques to carefully “massage” out the damage without affecting the paint.

Many dents and dings can now be repaired without a trace, when the work is performed by a skilled technician. And techniques have developed to the point that dings can be removed with the original paint in place.

4 Advantages of Paintless Dent Repair

GO GREEN! - PDR removes dents and dings without sanding, filling, or painting. This means you have no chemicals involved in the repair process. You are not adding car panels to a junk yard and you have not purchased new ones.

Quick Turn around Time – If you choose to opt with traditional auto body repair techniques, the chances are extremely high that your car is left in the shop for several days or weeks, which should never happen when choosing the Paintless option. With PDR you have a thirty minute to three day turnaround time depending on if you need one dent taken out or if you have extensive hail damage.

Higher Resale Value – If you are looking to trade in your lease or sell your car in the future you could be loosing money. many dents and dings can cost you big money when turning in a leased vehicle, by choosing PDR you aren’t a victim of excessive end-of-lease charges.

Lowest Cost – Body filler and repainting will always mean that traditional auto body repair will always be more expensive than the Paintless alternative. Additionally, traditional auto body repair is much more labor intensive, which often makes Paintless dent repair up to 75% less expensive.

Interior & Exterior Automotive Detailing

Professional car detailing is the art and the craft of cleaning and restoring a vehicle to like-new condition. Car detailing services are much more precise and labor-intensive than getting a car wash. A car wash is normally an automated system that a car passes through to clean the exterior. Professional auto detailing is always done by hand, and includes exterior and interior car detailing services.

Exterior Car Cleaning

Exterior wash and dry – This washing and drying process is done by hand. The detailer will spray and wipe down the body of the car with specialized products. This includes hand washing the rims, door handles, and glass.

Paint Claying – A clay bar is used to remove any contaminants, overspray, or residue left after the car has been washed. Claying results in a cleaner and smoother surface, and helps increase the effectiveness of polish and wax.

Polishing – Polishing buffs an abrasive compound onto the car’s paint to remove small layers of clear coat. This makes small scratches and swirls in the paint disappear.

Sealing or Waxing – To give the car a glossy shine and to add a protective layer to the car’s paint, a sealant is applied. In some cases, wax can be used.

Interior Car Cleaning

Vacuuming – Seats, carpets and mats, headliner, rear cargo area, and trunk are vacuumed to clean debris.

Scrubbing and Brushing – This is done to remove stains on floor carpets and mats

Steam Cleaning – Steam cleaning is a more effective method of removing tough stains in carpets and seats.

Glass Cleaning – Cleaning the windshield and windows.

Leather Trimming – A leather cleaner and soap are used to clean any leather parts in the vehicle.

Perfuming – Many detailers spray a deodorant into the interior of a car to leave the car smelling clean and new.

Additional Car Detailing Services

Paint correction – This is a process that takes away flaws on the top layer of a car’s paintwork like dull paint or oxidation. Most detailers use a rotary machine polisher to provide the best paint correction.

Ceramic coating – Ceramic Coating is a liquid polymer applied to the exterior of a vehicle to add a protective layer to the car’s paint. This is often used as a premium wax alternative.
