What is Paintless Dent Repair (PDR)?

Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) is a technique that removes minor dents, door dings, and hail impressions by carefully working the metal back toward its original shape from behind the panel, without using body filler, sanding, or repainting. CARSTAR Superior Collision offers PDR at our San Antonio locations where the damage is suitable for this method.

Why Professional Repair Matters

Minor dents from door dings, shopping carts, or small hail can affect your vehicle's appearance without scratching the paint. Where suitable, PDR addresses these dents without the need for repainting.

Benefits For San Antonio Drivers:

Where suitable, no body filler or repainting is required
Can be faster than conventional body and paint repair
Helps preserve the original factory finish

Questions About Paintless Dent Repair (PDR)?

PDR works best when the paint is uncracked, the dent is not on an extreme panel edge, and the metal has not been severely stretched. After an inspection we can advise whether PDR is suitable for your dent.
