The most important benefit is quality. This method is the closest you can get to the dent never happening in the first place. With PDR, the original manufacturers finish remains intact. There is no painting involved, no need for body fillers and no need to worry about color-mismatching or risk of overspray on other vehicle areas. Most dents can be repaired onsite at your home or business and in less than one hour. Most importantly the vehicles' resale value is maintained. Cost is also a major benefit of Paintless Dent Removal.
It depends on the size and location of the dent and accessibility. The average dent, like one made by a golf ball, will cost approximately $150 to repair and can be completed in less than one hour. Successive dents on the same vehicle can be performed at a reduced rate. Whatever the damage, PDR consistently costs about 1/3 as much as traditional body shop repairs.
Like anything, you get what you pay for. Using an experienced, professional dent removal specialist minimizes the chances of paint cracking. Usually the sharper the dent at the center of the damage, the greater risk of paint cracking resulting from removal of the dent. Orlando Dent Company technicians will give a thorough inspection of the damage and will inform you of the probability and risks of lifting the dent prior to any work being performed. Remember, Orlando Dent Company technicians use the most up-to-date methods and techniques to get the perfect finish.
Many dents also come with scratches normally when the cause of the damage is from another car or a static object such as a post. Depending on the damaged area, we are able to remove scratches with our machine polishers and our special polish formulas. If the scratches are major, we will refer you to our trusted mobile paint technician to complete the repair.
Occasionally, Orlando Dent Company encounters a vehicle needing dent repair work that is just too extensive and needs an auto body repair shop.
There are many products on the market that proclaim to fix annoying dents to your car. Suckerpad applications from local auto dealers are the do-it-yourself alternative to getting your car fixed with a professional dent removal specialist.
These sucker pad applications fix around the dent and employ a vacuum pressure to lift the dent to its normal position. The danger in doing this is the force used can warp the metal and crack the paint leaving your car with more damage than you started with. Most professionals will tell you that these products in the long run are not a cheap alternative at all.
A professional dent removal specialist uses a collection of precision instruments to get a clean and successful finish. As opposed to some suction devices on the market, dent specialists require a number of different tools to get the right hold on the bodywork and apply the right kind of pressures to the achieve the right results.
