WHAT IS PDR & DENT REPAIR PRICES
PDR is a repair process for removing cosmetic auto body damage without the need to repaint damaged area. PDR is the short form for Paintless Dent Removal also known as Paintless Dent Repair.

UNDERSTANDING HOW THIS SKILL CAME ABOUT
As far as it's known this skill was developed way back in the sixties by car manufactures such as Mercedes, out of the need to repair damaged vehicles with dings and dents made at the assembly line. PDR wasn't as popular back then as it is today! While there's still quite a lot of people unaware of this repair process, Paintless Dent Repair has taken a giant leap in the last few years.
ADVANTAGES OF HAVING YOUR VEHICLE REPAIRED BY THIS METHOD
The advantage and benefits to have your vehicle repaired by the PDR process is quality, as if the dent was never there. There is no grinding off the original paint finish, no application of fillers, like bondo, primers, and finally new fresh paint that could lead to colour mismatch etc. Another benefit is price, the cost of a small dent repaired by a body shop could reach $400, $600, or more? As an example the same dent repaired by the PDR method could cost $125 to $200. Time is another benefit, the repair could done in less than an hour, as opposed to a body shop taking 4 to 6 days with your vehicle.
