10 best paintless dent repair pdr faqs hail repair guide Certified Hail and Dent Colorado Springs (blog/10-best-paintless-dent-repair-pdr-faqs)

Paintless dent repair is how most hail-damaged cars get fixed without sanding or repainting the panel. These are the questions we hear in the shop.

What can PDR fix?

Hail dents, door dings, and many shallow creases where the paint is not broken. It is the standard method insurers use for hail.

Will it damage the paint?

No. The point of PDR is to keep the factory paint. Technicians work the metal back from behind the panel or with a glue-pull when they cannot reach the back side.

Do hail dents come back?

A properly repaired dent stays repaired. That is why we put a lifetime warranty on the work.

Is hail covered by insurance?

Hail is normally a comprehensive claim, not a collision claim. On many policies that means $0 out of pocket at our shop after the deductible is handled through the claim. Bring the vehicle in and we will walk through it.
