What Is Paintless Dent Removal (PDR)?

Paintless Dent Removal (PDR) is a highly innovative area of the automotive industry that reshapes and manipulates metal back to its original shape through the use of unique tools and highly refined skills of specialised technicians. The vehicle’s original paint finish is kept intact and is not altered in any way in the process, thus eliminating any need for respraying.

In the past, repairing a ding, small crease, or even a minor dent would command hours of extensive bodywork and repair, presenting a major inconvenience to the average customer’s schedule. Technology has revolutionised minor panel repairs to allow customers a much more efficient and effective alternative to traditional repair methods. With PDR, a major project is turned into a cost-effective minor fix, without any additional spraying or fillers. Every major insurance company in Australia now relies upon PDR to be the preferred method of repair of hail damage.
