DIY Paintless Dent Repair Methods: Myths & Facts
You may have seen videos or blogs of people using dry ice or toilet plungers & hot water to remove dents from vehicles. While sometimes this may look like a positive result, there are many things that can go wrong behind the scenes. Utilizing extremely hot or cold temperatures on the exterior of your vehicle can cause permanent damage to the paint - this is very expensive to fix. When 618 Dent Guy provides PDR in Clayton, MO, our experts know how to professionally manipulate the metal in order to release the dent without causing further damage.
How Does PDR Maintain the Value of My Vehicle?
No matter what type of vehicle (car, truck or motorcycle), anything permanent done to the body results in loss of resale value. This includes procedures like repainting over original paint, replacing original panels, etc. Paintless dent removal is the premier repair method that avoids all of these value-dropping techniques, and instead leaves your vehicle in-tact. All manipulation is done to the original panels of the vehicle where the dents and dings are expertly massaged out.
How Convenient is PDR Compared to Body Shops?
The comparison of these two service providers is a bit like apples to oranges; body shops certainly have plenty of expertise and offer repairs that are not suitable for paintless dent repair. However, for dents, dings & hail damage, there is no comparison to PDR in terms of cost or quickness of completion. As most dents/dings/creases do not actually damage the exterior paint of the vehicle, there is no need to completely replace the panels; instead, PDR technicians can use specialized tools to remove the dent back to like-new condition. Having this procedure done as opposed to panel replacement or repainting can also preserve the value of your vehicle.
