The 7 Things you Must Know Before Hiring a Paintless Dent Removal Company

You may or may have not heard about Paintless Dent Removal or (PDR). This method is used to fix creases, dings, dents and hail damage on your vehicle’s body—without damaging the factory finish. A skilled PDR Technician uses special tools, which includes rods, metal picks, and pulling systems to reshape the dent back to its original state. PDR is both safe and effective for steel and aluminum panels because: 

 

1. It does not weaken the panel or make it susceptible to rust or corrosion. 

2. The factory paint remains intact—if it is done correctly by a professional PDR Technician. 

The PDR process is not a simple one, it requires years of experience for a PDR Technician to perfect his craft and not every dent removal company has skilled Dent Technicians. At (your company name), we get many customers who were victims of bad work. 

To save you from this hassle, we have outlined the 7 most vital things that you should know before you decide to take your vehicle to a PDR company. 


#1 No Carfax 

Carfax is like a private eye that gives you a glimpse into a vehicle’s past, it gets the information from the body shops and automotive dealers. 

It is important to NOT have a Carfax, this report will decrease the resale value of your vehicle 

A conventional body shop will report to Carfax. However, that is not the case If your car is repaired at (your company name). Because we are labeled as a Cosmetic Repair Shop and we are not obligated to file a Carfax report! 

You want a high quality repair done by a PDR Technician without a Carfax report. 


#2 No Paint & Bondo 

Skilled PDR Technicians can remove creases, dings, dents and hail damage by massaging the area back to its original form. 

This process is done without the use of paint, fillers, or bondo. 

Often, we hear about damages caused by shopping carts, by another car door and hail damage—being fixed with old, outdated, and invasive techniques. 

Professional PDR companies should only specialize in paintless dent removal where NO paint, bondo, or outdated techniques are used to repair your vehicle. 

When PDR is done properly clients are always surprised with the results, and the use of fast-noninvasive techniques. 


#3 Insurances Recommended Process 

So your vehicle was dented by another car or got damaged from a hailstorm. We know that it can be frustrating—and expensive. However, if you have full insurance coverage and think that the 

rates will go up, you are wrong. Hail damage falls under comprehensive damage & will not raise your rates. 


Here is what you can do: 

1. Call you insurance company, file a claim. 

2. Do not waste your time getting multiple estimates because your insurance company told you so. 

3. Clean your car so that the appraisers can see the dent’s clearly. 

4. After receiving the first appraisal, make an appointment with a Paintless Dent Removal company. 

5. The estimate is not the end—it is a starting point, a professional PDR company will reevaluate the damage making sure everything is completely covered. 

6. If you choose a PDR company, your vehicle will be repaired in much less time with less invasive techniques than a traditional body shop. 

7. At (your company name), our customers pay for quality, because when we work on a vehicle, the result is flawless. No one will be able to tell that there were any blemishes on your vehicle. We not only offer high-end service on PDR vehicle repairs but also bill the insurance company directly for any additional repair work. A completely seamless process where our customers receive their vehicle in a fraction of the time with no paint or bondo every time. 

At (your company name), we give you a written lifetime warranty. If any PDR company is not willing to give you a satisfaction guarantee and a written lifetime warranty— it’s time to find another shop. 


Facts: 

• You have the choice to take your vehicle anywhere, your insurance company does not legally have the right to steer you to a repair shop. 

• If you don’t get your car repaired, any future claims might be denied because of the “un repaired damage” clause on your insurance contract. 

• Your dents will never come back, the PDR process guarantees it. 

• “Acts of God” or “mother nature” damages are covered by your insurance company under comprehensive, hail damage is part of that. 

• Your factory finish will remain the same and the value of your vehicle will not diminish. 


#4 Not All Dent Companies are The Same 

It’s true that not all dent companies are the same. You may hear stories about dent companies that leave many customers unsatisfied because they could not deliver the appropriate results. We get a lot of customers who have had this experience, the PDR company did a bad job and then they come to us—we fix it. 

PDR is a lot of plastic surgery, most of the time; you only get one chance to do it right. And a dent company that can’t get it right the first time, will only make it worse the second time—we know this because we repair a lot of these vehicles that were victims of bad work. This ends up being a huge mistake for the end consumer because it wastes their time and costs much more in the end. There are some situations where the vehicle has been repaired so poorly, that the paint cracked and the only option would be to go to a bodyshop. 

We guarantee satisfaction! We do it right the first time—every time! 


What Happens When Your Vehicle Ends Up In A Body shop? 

• Repainting will alter your factory finish and is never the same. 

• The value of your vehicle is diminished. 

• The average downtime is 7-14 days. 

• A value-diminishing Carfax report is sent by the body shop or car dealer. 

• 2-5 times more expensive than PDR. A $1500 repair at a body shop can usually be done for $300-$500 at a PDR shop. 

At Dent Magic John: 

• Most repairs are completed in hours, not days. 

• No Carfax report, your vehicle is 100% factory fresh, meaning that the value of your vehicle will not diminish if you wish to sell it later. 

• You get very low cost and exceptional results on door dings

#6 Lower Cost 

Cost is the most significant factor when we compare PDR with body shops. Interestingly, there is no comparison. Our prices are significantly less than a body shop, usually its 1/3 of the price; this means in most cases a $1500 dent repair at a body shop will cost you around $500 or even less.
