Price guide

As expected, All dents are different as is all vehicles.

Starting from just £80

Price varies depending on

  • the material that's been dented (Steel, Aluminium or Plastic)
  • the access points that are available or if needed ..made
  • any previous repair work that has been carried out
  • the condition of the paintwork
  • the size and shape of the Dent
  • the Location of the Dent

For us to give you a realistic price We will have to see the vehicle, this way We can go round together and evaluate the damaged areas.

These dent's have been removed with PDR & GPDR

Advantages of using PDR over Bodyshops

Cost-Effective

PDR is generally less expensive than traditional dent repair methods because it involves fewer steps and materials.

Time-Saving

The process is quicker, often completed in a few hours, compared to days for conventional repair methods.

Maintains Vehicle Value

By preserving the original paint, PDR helps maintain the vehicle's resale value.

Eco-Friendly

PDR is an environmentally friendly option as it does not require paint, fillers, or other chemicals that can harm the environment.

Limitations to PDR

  • Severe Damage

    Large, deep dents or damage to areas with cracked or chipped paint are not suitable for PDR. Same said for areas that have disconnected from the internal brace. They can be made to look better and touched in...but 95% of the time We would refer you to our body shop.

  • Previous Repairs

    If the area has had a previous repair, say with filler and paint, then the chances of cracking and paint peel is extremely high and We would recommend against PDR/ GPDR

  • Accessibility

    If the dent is in a location that cannot be easily accessed with PDR tools or GPDR (Glue)

  • Aluminium Panels

    Some vehicles with aluminium panels may not be suitable for PDR as aluminium does not respond as well to the technique as steel.

What is Paint-less Dent removal (PDR)?

Paint-less Dent Removal/Repair is a highly effective method for removing minor dents and dings from vehicles, offering numerous benefits over traditional repair methods. It requires skill and precision.


Our Technician is fully trained and uses PDR (paint-less dent removal/ repair) and GPDR (Glue paint-less dent removal/ repair) techniques to achieve the desired outcome.


So no need for traditional bodywork methods like sanding, filling, or repainting.

This process preserves the vehicle's original paint and finish, maintaining its value and aesthetic appeal

What PDR is best for?

Minor Dents and Dings

Ideal for small dents caused by hail, parking accidents, or minor impacts.
Crease

PDR can sometimes repair minor creases in the vehicle's panels.
Body Line

Skilled technicians can often repair dents on the vehicle's body lines where the metal is more rigid.
Larger dent

Larger dents that look impossible to do can surprise you and be removed by a skilled technician.

What's the process?


Every vehicle is different, as well as the dent.


Assessment

We will assess the damage to determine if PDR/GPDR is a suitable solution.
Not all dents can be repaired using PDR/GPDR; the size, depth, and location of the dent, as well as the condition of the paint, are considered
If the area effected has had previous repair work which involved filler then PDR/GPDR will not work


Accessing the Dent

Tools are used to gain access to the dent from behind the panel. This may involve removing interior panels, tail lights, or in some cases, exterior trim. In some rare cases a small access hole may need to be made, this is then covered by a plug.
Permission will need to be granted if this is the only option


Tool selection

Using specialized tools, We apply controlled pressure to the back side of the dent. This method gently massages the metal back into its original shape without damaging the paint. In other cases We need to use Glue to pull the dent (this option is no good if the vehicle has had paintwork)


Finishing Touches

The surface is carefully inspected to ensure the dent is completely removed and the panel is restored to its original form. If necessary, minor adjustments are made to perfect the finish.
