It is very important toremember, PDR techs specializing in "hail repair" are not trying topush out your local door-ding and dent tech. They specialize in "hail" repair for a reason, it takes a higherlevel tech to give you a high level repair. Most shop owners learn thisthe hard way. Just remember a good dent repair tech does not work cheap. Cheap payequals cheap quality!

Research to understand PDR.

For people who don't fully understand PDRand to the people who have had a bad experience, take a little time anddo a web search for Paintless Dent Repair / Removal and you will seethat there is a VERY WIDE range of companies and techs out there.Knowledge is the key, if you have the basic understanding to howsomething is done and what it cost, you are less likely to have someonetake advantage of you.

Insurance companies would notbe writing most hail damage using PDR if it could not repair dents andsave money / make money for both shop and the Ins. Companies!

Price is not everything!

Just because someone is a PDR tech, does NOT mean they can repair hailor very large / specialized dents! This is VERY IMPORTANT to rememberwhen looking for a repair shop. It's like going to see a doctor, justbecause someone is a "doctor" does not mean they are the right personyou want to see. If you have a door ding, find the local dealer, gothail damage, find a hail tech THROUGH A LOCAL BODYSHOP!!! Tents are forthe circus!!!! And you do get what you pay for in this industry!!! Goesfor customers and BodyShop owners.

What can (PDR) Paintless Dent Repair/removal repair?

2011-10-17T11:30:00.000-07:00

It's most commonuse is for repairing door dings, shopping cart dents, and hail damage.All of these dents have limits. Size of the dent, how deep, location,etc. All this come into play with PDR. There are some VERY talented PDRtechs in this industry who can repair very large, very deep dents tovery high standards. Is that "normal" for a PDR tech, NO, and I wouldbe a lier if I said that every PDR tech can do that level of work.
Experience is key and an independent operator does not have peers to ask or lean on when help is required.
