What is Conventional Dent Removal?

Conventional dent removal is the comprehensive solution for dents that cannot be addressed by Paintless Dent Repair (PDR). This method is necessary for larger, deeper dents, or those where the paint has been cracked, chipped, or scratched. We meticulously restore your vehicle using proven conventional techniques—including precision metal reshaping, careful body filling, detailed sanding, and expert color-matching and painting in our state-of-the-art, dust-free paint booth—for a flawless, like-new finish.

Our Dent Repair Process

Step One: Initial Assessment

Technicians begin by thoroughly evaluating the extent of the damage to formulate a detailed repair plan.

Step Two: Surface Preparation

The damaged area is meticulously sanded and smoothed. This step is crucial to ensure proper adhesion of subsequent repair materials

Step Three: Panel Reshaping

Specialized tools are employed to reshape the metal panels, restoring them as closely as possible to their original form.

Step Four: Filler Application

Where the metal cannot be fully restored to its original contour, body filler or putty is applied. This material is then carefully sanded to blend seamlessly with the surrounding undamaged surface

Step Five: Paint Process

Upon approval, our certified technicians will begin repairs using high-quality parts. We focus on restoring your vehicle to its pre-accident condition, ensuring both structural integrity and aesthetic quality.
