The Art of Paintless Dent Repair

Restoring Your Vehicle's Original Finish

PDR, which stands for paintless dent repair, is the art of removing dents and dings from your automobile’s metal surfaces. 


Whether it’s hail damage or parking lot dings, your vehicle’s finish will be restored without performing any painting, use of fillers, or replacing panels. 


Using various pushing and pulling techniques, PDR is the art of massaging the metal surfaces back to their original form and preserving the factory finish.

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 Before
Project Got Aluminum After

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.

The main objective of Carlson PDR is to preserve the vehicle’s factory finish by way of excellent quality repairs and superb customer service.
