HOW DOES PAINTLESS DENT REPAIR WORK? PDR Process and Techniques Paintless dent repair process works to restore vehicles to their pre-damage condition.
Assess the Damage The first step to any repair process is to assess the damage. Where is the dent? How big is the dent? How do we get to the dent? After assessing the damage, and determining if it can be effectively removed through PDR (as 80-90% of all dents are), we prepare the area around the dent for the repair.
Gain Entry to The Dent
In most cases, PDR requires you to access the back side of the dent, which means carefully removing body panels, tail lights, or in some cases, interior panels. To perform PDR, you need a pathway to the dent.
Once we have access to a dent, it’s time to perform the PDR repair. This is where the precision and expertise of our trained technicians comes into play.
Get A Better Look at the Dent
We use a special light board to give our technician a better look at the offending dent from his or her point of view. The board displays a shadow of the dent, telling the tech where to precisely place tools on the back end of the dent to massage the body back to its original condition.
