Most dents fixed without paint — and without breaking the bank.
Dents happen — door dings, runaway shopping carts, hail. The good news: most of them can be removed without repainting your panel. Paintless dent removal (PDR) uses specialized tools to massage the metal back to factory shape from behind, preserving your original paint and saving you hundreds compared to traditional bodywork.

Paintless dent removal is ideal when the paint is intact and the metal hasn't been stretched too far. That covers most door dings, shopping cart hits, light hail damage, and shallow parking lot dents. If the paint is cracked, the metal is creased, or the dent is on a body line, we'll use traditional bodywork and refinishing — and we'll tell you up front which approach makes sense for your vehicle.
Many PDR jobs finish in a few hours. Drop your vehicle off in the morning, pick it up that afternoon. For larger jobs or traditional dent repair with refinishing, we'll give you a written timeline.
Maryland hail storms can leave dozens of small dents across a single vehicle. We work with your comprehensive insurance coverage to handle full hail damage repairs — usually with PDR, preserving your factory paint and your vehicle's value.
Most single dents run $100–$300 depending on size and location. Larger or multiple dents are priced accordingly. We give every customer a free, written quote before any work starts.
Most paintless dent removal jobs finish the same day, often within a few hours. Traditional dent repair with paint typically takes 2–4 days.
No. PDR is performed from behind the panel and doesn't touch the painted surface. Your factory paint stays exactly as it was — that's the whole point of the technique.
Yes. Hail damage is one of the most common applications for PDR. We work with your comprehensive insurance coverage and can handle the claim directly.
We'll tell you up front. If the metal is creased, the paint is cracked, or the dent is in a spot PDR can't access, we'll quote traditional dent repair with refinishing instead — still affordable and warranted.
