How Dent Removal Works
Dent removal is a specialised process that restores the shape of your vehicle’s panels after impact damage. Depending on the location and severity, repairers use either paintless dent removal (PDR) or traditional panel repair methods.
PDR is ideal for small to medium dents where the paint is still intact, such as shopping trolley bumps, hail dents or low-speed impacts, and involves massaging the panel from behind to push the dent out cleanly.
For deeper or more complex dents that have damaged the paint surface, traditional dent removal techniques are used. This involves pulling or pushing out the panel, filling minor imperfections, sanding and repainting the area for a smooth, factory-like finish.
The benefit of choosing the right dent removal method is simple: your car retains its value, looks better and doesn’t require unnecessary paintwork or panel replacement. It’s also a faster, more affordable way to keep your car looking great without being off the road for days.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is paintless dent removal and how does it work?
Paintless dent removal (PDR) is a repair method used for small dents and dings where the paint surface has not been cracked or damaged. Technicians use a set of specialised tools to gently massage the dent from the inside of the panel, gradually working the metal back into its original shape without affecting the paintwork. PDR is commonly used for hail damage, minor parking lot dents and soft creases. The method is precise, affordable and helps preserve the vehicle’s original finish.
Can all dents be fixed using paintless dent removal?
No, not all dents are suitable for PDR. The technique works best on shallow dents with no paint damage and is most effective on newer vehicles with flexible metal panels. If the dent is near the edge of a panel, has sharp creases, or if the paint has cracked, traditional repair methods may be required. A qualified technician will assess the dent to determine if PDR is possible, and if not, explain alternative options.
How long does dent removal take?
The time required for dent removal depends on the size and complexity of the dent. Paintless dent removal can often be completed within a few hours, especially for minor dents. Larger or deeper dents may take longer, particularly if multiple panels are affected or if conventional panel repair is needed. Compared to full bodywork or replacement panels, dent removal is one of the quickest ways to restore your car’s look.
