Dent Repair

Whenever you get a dent or another type of body damage on your car you will want to have it repaired as soon as possible. Not only are dents unsightly, they also reduce the value of your car. While there are some do-it-yourself dent repair options available, letting a professional handle this work is a usually the better choice, especially for larger dents.

Severe dent repair

Dents that also include damage to your paint or clear coat will require a trip to a paint and body shop for severe dent repair or dent removal. In these instances your technician will have to remove the damaged fender or door panel to repair the body damage and repaint it. Paint and body shops have color matching technology to make sure the repaired portion of your car comes out the exact same color as the rest of your car.

For even more severe damage, a body shop may need to replace the damaged panel with a matching factory original. This sort of damage is generally the result of an accident, so there may be some insurance coverage, depending on who was at fault in the accident and what type of insurance coverage you have.

Minor dent repair

If you have to get a dent in your car, a dent that does not damage your paint is the best you can hope for. A dent that is just a depression in the panel can be fixed with paintless dent repair. With paintless dent repair, a trained technician gets at the dent from inside the car and uses specialized tools to slowly work the dent out and maintain the panel’s structure and strength. This procedure is much less expensive than the service at a paint and body shop.

With paintless dent repair you can take your vehicle to a shop for repair or use the mobile dent repair service that many paintless dent repair companies offer. Since only a few tools are necessary, mobile paintless dent repair is easy and convenient.

No matter if your car has a severe dent or just a minor dent, you have several options available to you for dent repair. You can have minor dents professionally removed at a low cost or have a more severe dent removed and repainted.
