What does “no drilling” mean?
There are some Paintless Dent Repair technicians who drill or punch holes in certain locations to access the repair (ex; door frames, quarter panel jambs, inner wheelhouse panels, etc). Our company will try everything possible to repair the dent without having to drill or punch holes.

Can any dent be fixed?
Not all dents can be repaired. Depth of the dent and location of the dent are two conditions that need to be looked at. As long as the depth isn’t too deep whereas the metal has been stretched too much dents up to and sometimes over the size of a dinner plate can be repaired. If the metal around the dent is twisted or the paint is cracked are indicators that the dent is too deep. The most common repairs are dents about the size of a golf ball. About 95% of dents can be repaired by Paintless Dent Repair. The other 5% are usually due to the depth or location of the dent.
Will my dents come back?
With Paintless Dent Repair your dent will not come back. Once the repair has been completed properly it never comes back. In conventional bodywork there if often a ring that shows up months later around the dings and sanding scratch marks, but this never happens with Paintless Dent Repair.
Will my paint be damaged?
No. The paints from the factory in today’s manufacturing are flexible and this allows for our type of repair (PDR). This process is the only process which allows you to keep your factory paint.
Will my dents be 100% gone?
When dealing with minor dents it will be highly likely that they will be gone. Deeper or more severe dents are more difficult to repair and even then people are amazed at the end result. For each case we explain the likely end result and what you should expect.
