Check out some of our previous work:
Project Snow Emergency
This vehicle was part of a dealership’s inventory and was damaged while the lot was being plowed for snow removal. The damage was repaired with PDR in one day, saving the dealership hundreds of dollars over a cost of a traditional body shop repair and making the vehicle ready for resale.

Project Body Line Chop
A common misconception about PDR is that body line damage cannot be repaired. As you can see, the factory contours were perfectly restored with no evidence of a repair.

Project Got Aluminum?
Another common misconception is that aluminum panels cannot be repaired with PDR. This particular damage is on a brand new Ford F150, of which all body panels are aluminum. Using the paintless dent repair method, the factory contours were perfectly restored while preserving the brand new factory finish with no evidence of a repair.

One is a newer car, but the other is a 1992 Bronco that got stuck in golfball-sized hail.
