Paintless Dent Removal (PDR) is a technique used to repair minor dents and dings in a vehicle's body without the need for painting or refinishing. It's often used for small, non-creasing dents, like those caused by hail or minor collisions with other objects, such as shopping carts or door dings.

How PDR Works:
Accessing the dent: The technician gains access to the back side of the dent (usually through a wheel well or interior panels).
Pushing out the dent: Using specialized tools, they carefully push the dent from the inside out to restore the shape of the metal.
Smoothing the surface: The technician may use various techniques to fine-tune the shape, ensuring the surface is as smooth as it was before the dent occurred.
Benefits of PDR:
Cost-effective: It’s generally cheaper than traditional dent repair methods.
Time-efficient: Repairs can be completed in a few hours.
No need for repainting: Since the paint is not damaged, there’s no need for repainting, which keeps the original finish intact.
Environmentally friendly: Since there’s no need for paints or chemicals, it’s an eco-friendly option.
Limitations:
PDR works best for small, shallow dents and may not be effective for larger or more severe damage.
Dents near edges or on creased panels may be harder to repair using this technique.
