  1. Push Method – This technical method is conducted by using professional commercial grade PDR tools, where the damage is repaired by getting the tools behind or under the dented area and gently massaging or pushing the metal or aluminum back to its original condition.
  2. Pull Method – This technical method involves pulling the dented area from the outside with a hot glue pull system. Hot glue is adhered to a glue tab that is attached to the ding, dent, crease or hail mark. Once cooled, a slide hammer or dent lifter is attached to the glue tab that gets pulled or popped to achieve the desired results.

Quite Simply, No! Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) has become the most affordable & preferred route that both consumers & companies take to repair dings, dents, creases & hail damage (Especially compared to the costs that most full-service auto body shops for these very same services we provide). PDR typically costs 30% less than what traditional brick & mortar full-service body shops charge for these services.

Yes!  We are approved by & accept payments from insurance companies.

Customers primarily have their insurance provider(s) pay for major dent damages caused by unpredictable weather occurrences like hail or high winds or even freak unforeseen accidents like a deer colliding with your vehicle.

On the other hand, most minor ding, dent, crease & hail damage repairs are usually paid out of pocket by the client to avoid the possibility of increasing your insurance premiums if you make a claim that is lower than your deductible limits.

Acceptable forms of payment for services are: Check, Visa, Master Card, Pay Pal, Apple Pay, Venmo, Cash App, Bitcoin & Ethereum

Note: We strongly-advise that you contact your insurance provider to see if you qualify & confirm that they will pay for our services provided before moving forward in this manner.

No! Most minor dings, dents, creases & hail damage repairs can be completed in a short period of time (Same-Day Service).

If it is MAJOR damage, we will not waste your time & will immediately refer you to a full-service auto body repair shop that is better equipped to service your major repair needs.
