Paintless Dent Repair
If your car has received dents, dings, or creases as the result of a fender bender, shopping cart collision, or hail damage, paintless dent repair, also known as PDR, is typically the best solution for the repair of the damage. Not only does paintless dent repair restore your vehicle to its original state, it does so affordably and quickly. Paintless dent repair is cheaper than than most work performed at a body shop, and can often be done while you wait. Additionally, paintless dent repair is approved by most insurance companies for reimbursement.
Paintless dent repair does not require sanding, bonding, filling, or paint. Instead, it relies on the use of special tools which take advantage of the fact that most auto bodies are made of metals which have “memory”. The memory of a metal is its tendency to seek out the original shape or curvature it originally had when it was manufactured. The use of high strength metal in manufacturing as well as resilient paint finishes contributes to the effectiveness and simplicity of the PDR process.
Paintless dent repair is suitable for most vehicles manufactured after 1990 and works well for large or small dents so long as the surface of the paint has not been cracked. As paintless dent repair takes advantage of your car’s original finish, there are no issues with respect to matching of paint, and your vehicle is restored to its original condition.
While most dents can be fixed in a short time “while you wait” (and some PDR companies even offer mobile service in which they come to your location), more extensive damage, such as hail damage, which involves numerous dents can take more time. Even so, the PDR process is still typically quicker and cheaper than more traditional, body shop repair processes would be.

Paintless dent repair has other advantages as well. Not only is it more affordable and quicker than traditional body shop work, it is environmentally friendly. No harmful paints, sprays or solvents are utilized. Paintless dent repair also preserves your car’s original finish, which helps maintain its value (cars which have their original finish on them resale for a greater amount than those with aftermarket finishes). Body shop work typically involves a depreciation of the value of a vehicle. This is simply not the case with paintless dent repair.
Paintless dent repair provides a host of advantages over other means of automobile body repair. If your car has experienced dents, dings, or hail damage, it would be wise to investigate the options provided by PDR.

15 inch scratch and slight dent from mailbox on Rav4, price to fix?
The area of my car where this is located is the back passenger door to the area where the gas hole would be. Its a 2010 Toyota, and I'm just wondering the price to fix this at a local auto body shop. Tried calling up some places for quotes but they don't do it over the phone. The scratch is split into two separate scratches, one being about 10 inches, another being about 5 inches. The dent is very slightly in. The mailbox was made out of metal. Price? Thanks.
