What's involved
What this repair actually is.
A technician works the dent out from behind the panel with specialized rods and pulling tabs, restoring the original shape without filler or paint. It only works when the paint is unbroken, and it's the cleanest, fastest way to fix door dings, hail dents, and shopping-cart damage.
Symptoms
How you can tell.
- Door dings from parking lots
- Hail dents across the hood or roof
- A soft dent with no scratched or cracked paint
- Shallow crease from a shopping cart or bicycle
If you delay
The dent won't get worse on its own, but sun and heat cycles can stress the stretched paint until it cracks — at which point paintless repair is no longer possible.
