Pricing

Most repairs start at $50 for a dime sized dent and about $75 for a quarter sized dent. Larger dents are best estimated in person. Due to a busy schedule we generally don’t offer a mobile estimating service. For your convenience, you can email us photos of the dent for a no cost evaluation.

We have a software program called www.dentestimators.com that can create computer generated estimates as needed. We also can work directly with your insurance company when it comes to hail repair.

Considerations that may affect the pricing for PDR:

Access: Getting a tool to the back side of the dent is part of the job. With door panels, access is generally gained using by having the window down and using a protective window guard and wedge to allow access between the glass and the skin of the door. Dents in the rear quarter panel may require the removal and reinstall of a tail lamp to gain access. These items will be discussed during the estimating process.

Aluminum Panels: Aluminum works differently than sheet metal. While sheet metal has a memory of how it is supposed to form based on the stamping process done at the factory, aluminum does not have that memory. It’s more difficult to push and prone to work hardening if the dent is deep. In general, aluminum is still repairable by PDR and there is an additional charge for working those panels. Check the panel with a magnet. The magnet will not stick to an aluminum panel.

The Depth of the Dent: The deeper the dent is, the more difficult it can be to get out. A small, extremely sharp dent can be more difficult than a larger dent where the damage is more spread out. When the panel has been hit too hard or the impact has fractured the paint, the metal may be stretched. A 100% repair is not possible when this occurs due to the nature of metal expansion. The technician will determine this for you and advise you on the expected outcome of the repair.
