Paintless Dent Repair (PDR)
Paintless dent removal (PDR) is our go-to method for minor dents when the vehicle’s paint is still intact. It lifts pressure damage out of the metal body without disturbing the factory paint, so it’s typically faster and more affordable than traditional dent repair, and you keep the original parts. Whether PDR is the right fit depends on the location and size of the dent, the extent of the damage, and the type of metal involved, aluminum requires different tools and techniques than steel. Our technicians evaluate each vehicle before recommending an approach. See our full breakdown of the paintless dent repair process for more on how it works and when it’s the right call.
Traditional
Dent Removal For Major Damage
When your vehicle experiences significant damage from hail or other causes, resulting in sharper dents that have broken through the vehicle’s paint, traditional dent repair may be necessary. In this case, our auto body technicians will remove the damaged part entirely and replace it with a new one.
It’s usually a costlier option because it involves a more involved and complex process of replacing panels, bonding, sanding, and repainting the entire vehicle to match the repaired part. This crosses into full collision repair territory when the damage extends beyond the panel itself. We prioritize the more efficient and affordable paintless dent removal method when possible. However, when the damage is too extensive for PDR, traditional dent removal is the next best option.
Hail Damage Repair
Hail is one of the most common causes of vehicle dents across the St. Louis metro, especially during spring and summer storm season. Unlike a single door ding, a hailstorm often leaves dozens of small dents across the hood, roof, and trunk, and can chip or scratch the clear coat at the same time. That combination is why scratch and dent repair often go hand in hand for St. Louis drivers once a storm passes through.
Our technicians assess the full scope of hail damage before recommending paintless dent removal, traditional repair, or a combination of both. If you don’t already have an insurance estimate, a $200 estimate fee applies, which goes toward your repair deductible or is refunded if insurance covers the repair in full. Most customers who come in already have a claim started, so the fee typically doesn’t apply. See our hail damage repair process for the full breakdown, or read our guide on what to do after a St. Louis hailstorm.
