Why This Matters
Body Shops Charge $150–$400 Per Dent Because They Repaint
Someone opens their car door into yours. Small dent. Size of a golf ball.
Why so expensive?
Body shops have to:
- Sand down the dent area
- Fill it with body filler
- Prime it
- Paint it (color-matched)
- Clear coat it
- Buff and polish it
All that work for a dent the size of a quarter.
Typical body shop costs:
- Small door ding: $150–$250
- Shopping cart dent: $200–$350
- Multiple small dents: $400–$800
- Hail damage (10+ dents): $1,500–$3,500
Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) fixes dents from behind without touching the paint. No sanding. No filler. No repainting. Same result, 70% cheaper.
But most people don't know PDR exists until after they've paid a body shop $350.

Most repairs take 2–3 days. Faster than body shops because there's no painting/drying time. Complex repairs (multiple dents) may take 4–5 days.
No. That's the entire point of PDR. The technician massages the dent out from behind the panel without touching your paint. Your factory finish stays perfect.
Unlimited repairs during your coverage period. If you get 3 door dings in one year, all 3 are covered at $0 cost.
Then it requires body work (sand, fill, repaint) instead of PDR. That would go through your car insurance, not PDR protection. PDR only works on dents without paint damage.
Most can. PDR works on smooth metal panels (doors, hoods, roofs, fenders). It can't fix dents on sharp body lines/edges, or dents with paint damage. The technician will assess if PDR will work.
You choose: 24 months, 36 months, or 48 months of coverage.
This is exactly why lessees get this protection. Door dings and dents at lease turn-in can result in $400–$800 in penalties. PDR Protection prevents that by fixing damage immediately.
Yes. Unused coverage is refundable on a prorated basis if you sell the vehicle.
Yes. Certified PDR technicians can work on both steel and aluminum panels. Aluminum requires specialized tools, which is why our network uses certified techs.
