How PDR Works

What is PDR?

Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) is a restoration technique used to remove dents from your vehicle without affecting its original paint. Unlike a traditional body shop where replacement part orders, fillers, sanding, painting, touch-ups, and lots of wait time are required to fix your vehicle, our team of highly skilled technicians restores your vehicle in a fraction of the time while keeping the original paint and parts intact. 

How Does PDR Work?

Paintless dent removal is like a gentle massage for your vehicle, fixing pesky dents without disrupting its factory finish or resorting to major replacements that take time and usually a lot of money to correct.

The PDR Process Involves Two Main Methods:

Dent Pushing

Using specialized tools, the team of Next Gen technicians accesses the back side of each dent and gently pushes the metal back into place. After the large sections of the dents are worked back into place, they increasingly fine-tune their work with smaller and smaller tools until the dents disappear completely. With precision and years of dent expertise, Next Gen dent technicians restore the vehicle’s surface to its original shape, leaving our customers thrilled and getting them back on the road quickly.

Dent Pulling

When dents are in hard-to-reach places where a special tool can’t quite reach, the Next Gen technician team uses another approach. This second approach involves using specially designed glue and tabs to pull the dent up from the surface (that’s why this method gets the name of pulling instead of pushing). Technicians apply the glue to the dent, attach a tab, and then pull the dent out without causing any harm to your vehicle’s surface or paint. We like the dent-pulling method for inaccessible spaces instead of drilling holes in your vehicle (an unfortunately common industry practice used at other shops where patience isn’t valued).

Deductible Assistance Program

In your insurance policy, a deductible is the portion that the insurance considers your responsibility to cover for your vehicle’s damages. For example, if your car sustains $5,000 worth of damage and your deductible is $500, the insurance will provide you with a reimbursement of $4,500. Typically, the customer would need to pay the chosen repair shop the remaining $500. However, under special circumstances, we may assist in covering or entirely waiving this fee. To find out if you qualify, book a time to visit our shop or call us today to learn more! We give you our Hassle-Free Guarantee.
