Frequently Asked Questions

What is the cost of

PDR?

What is the cost of PDR?

PDR costs a fraction of conventional body repair and varies depending on severity and location of damage. A typical door ding (roughly a quarter size) begins around $75.00 to repair. Since each repair is unique, the best way to determine cost is to call or text (814) 838-8577 for a free estimate.

Do DIY dent repair kits really work?

PDR DIY kits often create more problems than they solve. Cracked paint is a common occurrence when attempting PDR at home as well as over stretching the metal. Trusting a skilled and experienced technician to do the work the first time is the best way to ensure a quality repair.

Can any dent be fixed with PDR?

Since PDR does not use paint, it does have its limitations. Location and depth play a key part in determining if the damage is beyond PDR methods of repair. Some severe dents can be improved but not returned to 100% pre-damage condition.

Is PDR covered by insurance?

Yes, PDR is covered under most insurance policies although most repairs cost less than the average deductible. The exception to this is hail damage which is considered a comprehensive claim.

I have hail damage. What do I do next?

Since hail damage is a comprehensive insurance claim, the first step in the process is to take pictures of the damage and file a claim with your insurance company.

How long does a PDR repair take?

A typical dent or door ding can be fixed in less than two hours. More extensive damage can take as long as a day.

Hail damage usually requires two days depending on the number of dents and severity of damage.
