What is PDR?PDR, or Paintless Dent Removal is a highly specialised process, that is done by hand for removing minor dents on vehicle panels without the need for body filler or paint.
Common Damage Causes• Careless vehicle door opening
• Shopping trolley damage • Closing boot or bonnet onto an object • Minor collisions • Football or golf ball damage • Road & Hail stone damage • Vandalism damage |
Dents Don't Just "Pop Out"Dents don't just pop out, as many people think. The PDR process involves gaining access behind the panel, then precisely massaging and manipulating the dent, until the panel is back to its original factory state. In the vast majority of cases, this method of dent removal is 100% accurate leaving no trace of the dent. Protrusions caused by closing a boot lid or bonnet onto an object can also be rectified.
