Paintless Dent Removal

Dents can take away from your car’s clean look, but paintless dent removal (PDR) takes care of them quickly—without touching your original paint.

Whether it’s a door ding or hail damage from one of Chicago’s sudden storms, we use precise tools to smooth out the panels and restore your car without the hassle of traditional bodywork. 

So what is PDR, exactly? Paintless dent removal is a technique that repairs dents without sanding, filler, or paint. Our trained techs work from behind the dent, slowly and carefully reshaping the metal using specialized tools. It’s best for small to medium dents—like hail hits or dings from tight parking spots—where the paint hasn’t been damaged.

Our paintless dent removal is a solid, low-stress way to deal with everyday dents without turning to full-on body repairs.

Since there’s no need to repaint, PDR helps keep your car’s original finish and value intact, shortens repair time, and keeps everything more affordable.

Chicago roads are rough—tight parking, stray carts, and sudden weather can all leave your car looking beat up.

PDR is an easy fix that avoids the downtime and cost of standard repairs. Here’s why it works so well:

Keeps Your Paint

Because there’s no repainting, your original paint stays untouched, which helps your car hold its value.

Fast Results

Most PDR jobs take just a few hours, not days, so you’re back behind the wheel in no time.

Eco-Friendly

Since it doesn’t involve paint or chemicals, it’s a cleaner, greener way to fix your vehicle.

Handles All Kinds of Dents

From small dings to more noticeable creases, PDR works if the paint is still intact.

Great for Storm Damage

PDR hail damage repair is one of the quickest ways to restore your car after a storm, targeting those scattered dents without disturbing the original paint.
Paintless dent removal is an easy way to keep your car looking sharp without a full body shop visit.

Not sure if PDR is right for your car?

Here are a few signs it might be:

Dents that are small or medium in size, with paint that’s still in good shape

Hail damage on your hood, roof, or trunk

Door dings from tight parking spots in neighborhoods like Logan Square or River North

Light creases or impressions from minor bumps or bike racks Surface damage where the paint wasn’t chipped or scratched

If the paint hasn’t been broken, there’s a good chance paintless dent repair will do the job. Given how often cars get dinged up in Chicago traffic or during rough weather,

PDR is a smart way to stay ahead of damage and avoid rust down the line.
