Why Paintless Dent Repairs
Do you have unsightly dents and dings on your car and have no idea how it got there? It could be from door dings, rocks that were flung from cars driving in front of you, or hail storms that leave its imprints on your beautiful car. Regardless, it scars your car.
Repairing these little dents by conventional priming, blocking and painting methods can cost about $500+ per dent. But with paintless dent repair (PDR), it starts at approximately $80 / dent, depending on how deep and wide the dent is. PDRs are at least 2/3rds less than standard car dent removal methods in an auto body shop.
What is PDR
PDR is an auto body repair process to remove minor dents and dings that have no paint damage. The repair is focused on pulling or pushing the dent out from the body panel. To pull out the dent, glue and a specifically designed tab is placed on the outside of the panel to pull out the dent. The other process requires using metal rods and picks to push out the dent from the underside of the panel. It can also be used to prep cars for traditional paint work. Regardless of which process used, it requires certified skilled technicians to do the work without further damaging the body panel and the paint. Car fleet services and car dealerships benefit greatly from using PDRs, as it saves them lots of money to repair all the car dings and dents on their lots.
Benefits of an In-House PDR Team
Mission Viejo Auto Collision is one of the few auto body repair centers in Orange County that has our own certified PDR technicians in house. By doing so, we are able to schedule appointments based on our readiness instead of another vendor’s availability. It is not necessary to shuttle cars from our facility to the other vendor’s body shop. This helps get our clients in and out much faster with their car dent repairs. Since we do not have to pay outside vendors and shuttle cars back and forth, we are able to save money and extend those savings to our clients.
Another important point is we can guarantee our quality workmanship. Whereas with other vendors, we do not know if something was done incorrectly or broken as a result of the PDR until later. In-house, we are able to quality control the PDR work performed.
