What is Paintless Dent Removal?
There are several ways to remove dents from car bodywork, but Paintless Dent Removal (PDR) is by far the best. We have used this state-of-the-art method to restore vehicle bodywork for over 19 years and are committed to quality results at affordable prices. What’s more, we offer fully mobile vehicle dent repair so we can come to you at a time and place that’s convenient for you. Paintless Dent Removal is one of the most affordable and eco-friendly methods for restoring a vehicle’s bodywork.
Paintless Dent Removal is a state-of-the-art method for removing dents, scuffs, scratches and more which doesn’t use paint or filler. We use specially designed steel rods to massage the damaged area of your vehicle from behind the damaged panel. With this technique, we can push out any dents for total bodywork restoration. PDR can be used on all vehicles where the car bodywork has dents and scuffs, but where the paint isn’t damaged. This method preserves the original factory finish of the vehicle and can be a more cost-effective and time-efficient solution for certain types of dents.
How is Paintless Dent Removal done?
Our process for Paintless Dent Removal is simple and effective, delivering quality every single time. Here’s how the process for PDR is done…
1. Assessment
Our skilled technicians will assess the extent of the damage to your vehicle’s bodywork to determine if PDR is a suitable repair method. PDR is most effective for shallow dents with no damage to the paint surface, such as those caused by hail, minor collisions, or door dings.
2. Access
We will gain access to the reverse side of the dent, either through existing openings in the bodywork or by removing interior panels or trim pieces.
3. Manipulation
Using specialised tools, we will carefully massage and push on the underside of the dent, gradually manipulating the metal back into its original shape. This process requires precision and skill to avoid causing further damage to the paint or surrounding areas.
4. Visual Inspection
Throughout the restoration process, we will continually check the progress and will adjust our techniques as needed to ensure the desired results are achieved.
5. Final Inspection
Once we have successfully removed the dent, we will conduct a final inspection to ensure that the repair meets quality standards and that the affected area matches the surrounding bodywork seamlessly.
6. Completion
With your vehicle’s bodywork fully restored, we will reinstall any removed interior panels or trim pieces and return your vehicle to you.
The Benefits of Paintless Dent Removal
Paintless Dent Removal features several benefits over traditional methods for dent repair. Here’s why Paintless Dent Removal is such a popular option for many vehicle owners:
- Cost-Effective Dent Repair
Paintless Dent Removal is more affordable than traditional dent repair methods as it doesn’t require repainting or extensive labour. So whether you have a minor or major dent, Paintless Dent Removal is a budget-friendly option.

Paintless Dent Removal ensures that you avoid any warranty breaches by maintaining your vehicle’s original factory paintwork. This preserves the manufacturer’s warranty and protects your investment in the vehicle well into the future.
- Vehicle Value & Appearance
For a vehicle that’s more attractive and easy to sell, repairing any dents in its bodywork is a must. Additionally, Paintless Dent Removal helps prevent further deterioration of the paintwork, preserving the overall appearance of the vehicle.

Leaving dents unaddressed can lead to further damage over time. For example, a small dent may weaken the surrounding paint, making it more susceptible to chipping and rust. Paintless Dent Removal can prevent such issues from occurring.
