Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) is the art of removing dents, dings, and creases from your vehicle without using paint, fillers, or sanding. Instead, skilled technicians use precision tools to gently work the metal back into shape from behind the panel.


That way, your car keeps its factory finish and looks like it never had a dent in the first place. It’s a fast, safe, and cost-effective way to fix everything from hail damage to door dings and small body creases without compromising your vehicle’s original look.

When Investing in PDR is the Right Choice 

If the paint’s scratched, cracked, or the dent is too deep, traditional body repair might be the better route. Our technicians will take a close look and walk you through the best option for your vehicle. PDR is ideal for:



  • Hail damage
  • Small to medium-sized dents
  • Door dings
  • Bodyline dents (as long as the paint isn’t cracked or chipped)
  • Minor creases from light impacts

At The Works Auto Center, we make PDR simple and stress-free. Here’s what you can expect when you bring your car in.

 

Step 1: Inspection

We start with a close look at your vehicle to assess the dents or dings. Our technicians check the size, location, and depth of the damage and determine whether PDR is the best solution for your car.

 

Step 2: Assessment and Estimate

Once we know what we’re working with, we provide a free, no-obligation estimate. We explain the process, the expected timeline, and the cost so you know exactly what to expect.

 

Step 3: Dent Repair

Using specialized tools, our skilled technicians carefully massage the metal back into its original shape from behind the panel. This technique preserves your factory paint and restores your car’s finish.

 

Step 4: Quality Check

After the repair, we inspect every detail to ensure the dent is completely gone and the surface is flawless. We make sure the area looks as perfect as the surrounding paint.

 

Step 5: Customer Pickup

Your vehicle is ready to go, often the same day, looking as good as new. We walk you through the work we’ve done and make sure you’re completely satisfied before you drive away.
