Can My Dent Be Fixed with PDR?

PDR is a technique that removes dents from vehicle panels without affecting the original paint. Technicians use specialized tools to massage the metal back to its original shape from behind the panel.

This assessment is based on I-CAR industry standards and common PDR repair criteria. While it provides reliable guidance, a professional inspection is recommended for a definitive answer.

If PDR isn't suitable, traditional body shop repair is the alternative. This typically costs more and requires repainting, but can handle more severe damage including paint chips, deep creases, and stretched metal.
