Paintless Dent Repair
Dent repair that may preserve factory paint
Paintless Dent Repair, often called PDR, is a method used for certain minor dents where the paint is still intact and the metal can be worked back carefully without sanding or repainting.
Not every dent qualifies. Sharp creases, cracked paint, stretched metal, edge damage, and collision-related structural damage may require traditional auto body repair instead. This dedicated PDR page helps Riverside drivers with door dings or smaller dents understand whether the factory paint can stay intact before a larger repair is planned.
For dents that are not a good fit for PDR, the team can explain options such as traditional auto body repair or collision repair.
PDR may be appropriate for:
- Door dings where the paint is not broken
- Minor dents on accessible panels
- Small pressure dents without deep creases
- Damage that can be reached safely from behind the panel
- Customers who want to preserve the factory paint when possible
