Traditional vs. Paintless Dent Removal and Repair (PDR)
Once you own a car, you automatically become a victim of dents, scratches, chips and any other damage that may affect your car’s body. Whether you are a first timer or an experienced driver, there is no way you can avoid such mishaps. You may try to be more careful, but at times it just doesn’t work. If you happen to hit your garage door, another car while parking, or went off trail and hit a tree, a dent is what your car gets. It can be a disheartening occurrence, especially if you were from the dealer’s shop just the other day. But, there is certainly something that can be done.
At Dallas Auto Paint, there is almost nothing that we can’t do to take your car back to its factory-finish look. We are the trusted name in auto dents removal in Dallas, TX.
Who we are
We are a team of highly trained repairers who provide our clients with auto body services for their cars. In our work, we use up to date technology to give our clients the best car care in town. For any auto body issues you may have, just call us.
We are all accustomed to the traditional way of fixing a dent, which takes almost forever once you take your car for repair. This is because your service providers will explain to you that the amount of equipment needed is quite extensive. After the panel beating of the car, sanding is done in preparation for the painting, which is yet again another process on its own.
We on the other hand, offer you a timely, less expensive yet effective method known as paintless dent removal. This method does not involve use of fillers and sanding. It is environmental friendly and it is not only effective for dents, but also works well in eliminating dings, body creases, and hail damage.
All about PDR
Just like the name suggests, paintless dent removal does not use paint. It is a technique used in removing minor dents from the auto body and can be quite flawless when it comes to shallower dents. This method is carried out step by step, so read on to catch up on what we do.
Step 1
Like for any diagnosis, the first step is always to assess the damage. In order to do this, we locate where the dent is, assess its size and prepare the body for the repair.
Step 2
When conducting the PDR, we find the path leading to the dent, in other words - the backside of the dent. Here, depending on the dent location, we remove body panels, the tail lights, or interior panels in some cases.
Step 3
For PDR, special tools are used such as the specialist lighting. These tools are used to get a closer look at the dent, which is vital in restoring your car to pre-dent condition.
Our final process is where the actual work lies. For our auto dents removal in Dallas, TX process to be complete, we apply pressure slowly to the backside of the dent. Using our special tools, we simply massage the dent back in place. Contact Dallas Auto Paint today to get that ‘just-from-the-factory’ look for your car.
