Door ding and small dent repair

For one-off dings, most repairs use PDR and require minimal disassembly. We protect trim and glass, reach the dent from behind the panel, and gently move the metal back into place. Because the original paint remains, there is no blend to a neighboring panel and no color match concerns. It is a smart, value-preserving choice whenever the paint is intact.

Our PDR process

Cost and timing

PDR pricing depends on the dent count, size, location, panel material, and access. Hail repairs are typically written per panel and may be covered under comprehensive insurance. Small dings are often faster and more affordable than conventional repairs because there is no repainting. We will review options and write a free estimate before any work begins.

Insurance help and your rights

You choose the repair shop in Minnesota. We help you file, submit photos, and handle supplements so the claim reflects the true scope of the damage. For hail, comprehensive coverage often applies and usually does not impact rates the same way at-fault claims do. We will explain the differences in plain language so you can decide with confidence.

Will PDR work on my car

Most shallow dents with intact paint are great candidates. Deep creases, stretched metal, or damage on edges may need a conventional autobody repair. Either way, we will show you the panel under proper lighting and recommend the option that protects safety and value.
