Auckland Dent Repair Shop

Our team offers reliable, high-quality dent removal services for all vehicle types. Whether it’s a minor ding, hail damage, or larger dents from a collision, we use Paintless Dent Removal (PDR) techniques to restore your vehicle’s bodywork quickly and cost-effectively.

What is Paintless Dent Removal (PDR)?

PDR is a non-invasive method of repairing minor dents without disturbing your car’s paintwork. Using specialised tools, we gently push or pull the dented metal back into place from behind the panel, restoring the original factory finish.

Benefits of PDR:

Retains your car’s original paint finish
No need for sanding, filling, or repainting
Faster and more cost-effective than traditional methods
Eco-friendly, with no harmful chemicals or overspray

PDR is ideal for:

Hail damage
Door dings
Car park bumps
Low-speed impacts where paint remains intact

When PDR Isn’t Enough

For deeper dents, stretched panels, or areas with cracked paint, traditional dent repair methods are required. In these cases, we offer:

Panel reshaping
Filler & sanding
Precision colour-matched repainting
Panel replacement (if needed)

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Paintless Dent Removal (PDR)?

Paintless Dent Removal (PDR) is a highly effective method for removing dents and dings from a vehicle’s body without the need for traditional repair methods such as sanding, filling, or repainting. It involves using specialized tools to gently massage and reshape the metal from behind the dent, restoring the vehicle’s original surface. PDR is commonly used for minor dents caused by hail, door dings, or small impacts. It’s a faster, more cost-effective solution compared to conventional bodywork, and since the original paint is preserved, it helps maintain the vehicle’s value.

Can all dents be removed with PDR?

While PDR is an excellent solution for many types of dents, it is most effective on smaller dents, dings, and creases where the paint surface is still intact. If the dent is too large, located on the edge of a panel, or if the paint has been cracked or scratched, more extensive bodywork may be required. A professional technician can assess the dent to determine if PDR is the right method for repair.

How long does dent removal take?

The time needed for paintless dent removal varies depending on the size and complexity of the dent. In many cases, smaller dents can be fixed in a few hours, allowing for same-day service. However, larger dents or multiple dents may require more time and attention, which could extend the repair to a full day or slightly longer. Our team will give you a more accurate time estimate after assessing the damage.

Will my insurance cover dent removal?

In many cases, car insurance policies will cover paintless dent removal, especially if the damage was caused by an accident or hail. Coverage depends on your specific policy and deductible, but we can help streamline the process by working directly with your insurance company. Our team can provide any documentation required to support your claim, making it easier for you to get your repairs covered.

Is dent removal expensive?

Compared to traditional body repair methods, Paintless Dent Removal is often a much more affordable option. Since PDR eliminates the need for repainting and extensive labor, it typically costs significantly less than traditional dent repairs or panel replacements. The exact cost depends on the size and location of the dent, but we offer competitive pricing and free, no-obligation quotes to give you an accurate idea of the cost.
