Paintless Dent Removal
For unexpected dents on your vehicle, a paintless dent removal is a great option.
Have you noticed a new or distinct ding on your car when you return to it in the parking lot? It could be anything, but a rogue shopping cart or a swinging car door is most likely the culprit. Your first instinct might be to ignore the problem but this route is not recommended for several reasons.
Unattended dents and scratches can expose your vehicle to corrosion. The exterior of your vehicle can rust if this happens. This chemical change is irreversible and can reduce the value and safety of your vehicle.
Neglecting to repair the vehicle can lead to a decrease in its resale value or trade-in value. There is good news though, most of these dings can be removed and restore your vehicle to like-new with paintless dent removal by the experts at Excel Auto Body.
is paintless dent removal an option?
Paintless dent removal works best for minor dents and low-force impacts. PDR is usually available for hail damage and impacts from small objects and car doors. Our techs will examine your car to determine how far the metal has been “stretched” and assess the depth and shape of the dent. PDR is more viable if the dent is smaller or less deep.
PDR is only effective if the dent hasn’t cracked or chipped your car’s paint. Alternative measures might be your best option if the dent is larger than your fist or penetrates deeper into a panel or door. PDR is not a good option if you have any of the following:
- The paint inside a dent is broken or scratched.
- The dented area has had previous bodywork done.
- The dent has sharp edges or torn metal.
The most important thing is to take care of the dent or dings as soon as you notice them. This will help preserve the life and resale value of your vehicle down the road. You can contact us to schedule a free consultation and see if our expert Paintless Dent Removal is right for you.
