PDR QUESTIONS

Straight answers about dents.

What PDR can do, when it works, and what happens before a repair begins.

What is paintless dent repair?+

PDR reshapes damaged metal without sanding, body filler or repainting when the paint and panel are suitable.

Can PDR repair hail damage?+

Often, yes. Hail damage is one of the most common uses for PDR because many shallow dents can be repaired while preserving the original finish.

Will PDR affect my factory paint?+

The goal of PDR is to preserve the existing finish. Paint condition, dent depth, metal stretch and access are assessed first.

Can every dent be repaired with PDR?+

No. Sharp creases, stretched metal, damaged paint and some collision damage may require conventional body repair.

How long does PDR take?+

Repair time depends on size, location, dent count and access. A single door ding and extensive hail damage are very different jobs.

Can you help with an SGI hail claim?+

Western's collision operation is SGI accredited and handles hail and PDR claims, helping coordinate the appropriate next steps for eligible repairs.
