Is Any and Every Dent a Good Candidate for Paintless Dent Repair?

As is the case with most things, paintless dent repair is not a one size fits all solution. Unfortunately, not every dent will be able to be repaired with this method. It largely depends on the accessibility of the dent’s location as to whether the tech can reach and remove the dent with the necessary tools. If the dent can’t be accessed, it will need to be fixed with traditional body work.

Can I Trust the Longevity of the Repair?

Many people question if this technique will it be a long-term solution, since it involves such a simple process. Thankfully, this repair process is highly effective, and you should not see the dent return after it has been removed.

How Long Will I Be Without My Vehicle in Order to Have My Dent Removed?

This question is slightly more difficult to answer as each dent is unique. Generally, multiple factors will influence the length of time it takes to complete the dent removal. Consider how large the dent is, how severe the damage is, and the location of the damage. As a rule, small, insignificant dents may be repaired in as little as one hour or less. Other dents may take longer to repair, up to a few hours. Regardless, paintless dent repair saves you hours and even days of time as compared to the process of dent removal via traditional body work.
