Our Dent Repair Process
Step One: Initial Assessment
Technicians begin by thoroughly evaluating the dent's size, depth, and location to determine its suitability for PDR.
Step Two: Accessing the Dent
Our technician plans the best way to access the backside of the damaged panel, which may involve carefully removing interior panels or lights.
