dent repair

Restoring a crumpled fender

Dent repair is the process of fixing depressions or dings in a vehicle's body panels.

Paintless dent repair (PDR) uses specialized tools to massage metal back into shape from behind, avoiding repainting.

Larger dents may require body filler and refinishing.
