Dent repair
The right dent method depends on the damage.
Paint condition, access, panel material, dent depth, sharpness, location, and prior repairs determine whether paintless or conventional repair may fit the job.

Paintless dent repair fit
PDR may be appropriate when the finish and panel condition support it and the damage can be accessed responsibly. It is not the correct method for every dent.
Conventional body repair
When paint is damaged, the dent is too sharp or stretched, access is limited, or the panel condition requires more work, conventional repair and refinishing may be considered.
Discuss the damage with the shop.
Before you schedule
Questions worth answering clearly.
Can you tell from one photo if PDR will work?
A photo can help with screening, but lighting, angles, access, paint condition, and panel construction may require an in-person evaluation.
