DENT MYTHS

Common Dent Myths Asked By Our Customers

Q: Will hot water and a toilet plunger able to pop the dent out as seen on YouTube?
 

A: Technically you may able to remove part of the dent from the flat surface panel if the dent is shallow and larger than the plunger; and it most likely is breaking one big dent into multiple smaller dents. The appearance may look dramatically better but you will never get the panel back to its original shape. This method of course is not effective on any sharp or smaller dents.
 

Q: Why choose Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) over traditional body shop?
 

A: Save time & money - a simple door dent can be done in an hour with PDR, but it may take 2-3 days at the body shop. The cost to repair is generally lower with PDR because the panel does not need to be repainted. The paint on your car stays original which also retains your car’s resale value.

Q: How much does it cost to fix a door dent/ding?
 

A: The repair cost varies depending on several factors - size, location (bodyline or flat surface), depth, and the material of the panel (Steel, HSS, Aluminum). It is always the best to have a professional PDR tech assess the dent in order to give you a proper estimate. Click here for the general reference
