Paintless dent repair (PDR) is a technique used to remove minor dents and dings from a vehicle's body without damaging the original paint. This method involves using specialized tools to gently push the metal back into its original shape from behind the panel. It is effective for small dents caused by hail, shopping carts, or minor collisions. One of the main advantages of PDR is that it is often quicker and more cost-effective than traditional dent repair methods. Since it does not require repainting, it preserves the vehicle's factory finish and can help maintain its resale value.
