What is car dent repair?
Car dent repair removes dents and restores the original shape of a vehicle's body panels. We inspect dent size, location and paint condition before selecting paintless dent removal or traditional repair with painting.
When is car dent repair needed?
Car dent repair addresses visible dents, distorted panel lines and rust at a dent's edge. We assess minor door dings, larger dents and creases that compromise panel strength.
What does car dent repair include?
Car dent repair includes assessment, surface protection, panel reshaping and a final inspection. We clean the affected area and mask surrounding surfaces before work.
Assessment and scope
We record the make, model, year, Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), dent location and available photographs. We assess dent size and paint condition when choosing the repair method.
Repair and final inspection
We reshape metal with rods and tabs or apply filler, sand and repaint the damaged area. We check panel alignment and the surface finish against surrounding panels before handover.
Repair or replacement: which is appropriate?
Dent repair suits minor damage; panel replacement addresses severe damage that compromises panel integrity. We assess the damaged panel before recommending the scope.
Types of car dent repair
Car dent repair uses paintless removal or traditional repair with painting, according to dent size and paint condition.
Paintless dent removal
Paintless dent removal repairs small door dings without affecting paint. We use rods and tabs to reshape the dent.
Traditional dent repair with painting
Traditional dent repair uses filler, sanding, repainting and drying for larger damage. Our paint colour matching service addresses the repaired finish. Broader collision damage falls under accident repair.
