Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) is the process of removing minor dents and dings using a special metal-massaging process that does not require painting. PDR offers a unique and cost-effective alternative to traditional body repair, when applicable. PDR utilizes proprietary tools to massage dents out of the metal by applying strategic pressure. Thus removing dents without the use of paint, body filler, chemicals or heat, and restoring the original finish of the vehicle at less than half the cost of traditional body shop work.

History
PDR was first developed on the Mercedes Benz factory lines in the late 1940's and then introduced to the general market in the early 1980's. Today, PDR technicians are a mainstay in the automotive reconditioning market.
