What is PDR?

What is Paintless Dent Repair (PDR)?

Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) is a highly skilled method for removing minor dents, dings, and creases from a vehicle's body without affecting the original factory paint. This technique involves a technician using specialized tools to gently "massage" the dent from the backside of the panel, slowly pushing the metal back to its original shape. PDR is an excellent choice for a wide range of damage, especially hail damage and door dings, as long as the paint surface is intact. The benefits of PDR include a faster repair time, lower cost compared to traditional bodywork, and the preservation of your vehicle's factory finish, which helps maintain its resale value.

What is the glue pulling technique?

The "glue pulling technique" is a specific approach within PDR used when a technician can't access the backside of a dent. In this method, a special glue and plastic tab are adhered to the outside of the dent. A tool then pulls the tab, and the dent, outward. This technique allows for a precise and clean pull, making the repair process more efficient and effective on various types of dents.
