Assessment before repair

When paintless dent repair works best
Not every dent is suitable for paintless repair. PDR works best when the panel and paint condition allow the dent to be reshaped without conventional filling or repainting.

Suitable damage
Minor dents and dings
PDR is often suitable for small to medium dents caused by car park knocks, light impacts and everyday mishaps, provided the paint surface is still intact.
Assessment
Panel and paint condition
We inspect the depth of the dent, the panel material, the location of the damage, and whether the reverse side of the panel can be accessed safely for repair.


Alternative route
If PDR is not suitable
If the paint is damaged, the metal is stretched, or the dent is in an area unsuitable for paintless repair, we’ll recommend the appropriate conventional body repair and refinishing solution instead.
Paintless dent repair FAQs
Common questions about paintless dent repair at AZ Bodyworks.
What is paintless dent repair?
Paintless dent repair (PDR) is a method used to remove suitable minor dents from a vehicle panel without conventional filling or repainting, provided the paintwork has not been significantly damaged.
Can every dent be repaired this way?
No. Suitability depends on the size, depth and location of the dent, access behind the damaged panel and the condition of the paintwork. We assess the damage before recommending PDR.
Will the original paint be kept?
Yes, where PDR is suitable. One of its main benefits is that the dent can be repaired while retaining the vehicle’s existing factory paint finish.
Is paintless dent repair good for car park dents?
Yes. Many small dents and dings caused by car doors, trolleys or light knocks can be suitable for PDR, depending on the location, depth of the dent and condition of the paintwork.
What if the dent cannot be repaired with PDR?
If PDR isn’t suitable, we can recommend the appropriate conventional body repair and refinishing method and provide a free estimate.
