Mobile estimate fees depend on location:

Most paintless dent repairs take between 30 minutes and a few hours, depending on the size, location, and severity of the dent.

Question 6

Can paintless dent repair make my dent look perfect?

Accepted Answer

In many cases, yes. More complex dents — especially dents on edges, body lines, or areas requiring glue pulling — may result in an 80–95% improvement. We always explain realistic expectations before starting.

Question 7

Will paintless dent repair damage my paint?

Accepted Answer

No. Paintless dent repair is designed to preserve your original factory paint. There is no sanding, filling, or repainting involved.

Question 8

What is paintless dent repair?

Accepted Answer

Paintless dent repair, also called PDR, is a specialized method of removing dents without repainting the vehicle. The metal is carefully reshaped while preserving the original factory finish.

Question 9

What types of dents can you repair?

Accepted Answer

We repair most door dings, small dents, medium dents, large dents, creases, and hail damage. If the paint is cracked or the metal is severely stretched, traditional body shop repair may be required.

Question 10

What size dents can be fixed?

Accepted Answer

We repair dents ranging from small dime-sized dings to larger dents the size of a football or more, depending on the damage and panel access.

Question 11

Do you repair aluminum panels?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We repair both steel and aluminum panels. Aluminum repairs may require additional time because the material reacts differently than steel.

Question 12

Do you fix scratches or paint damage?

Accepted Answer

We can often remove light scratches, scuffs, and paint transfer if they have not gone through the clear coat. We do not typically perform paintwork, but we can apply touch-up paint if you provide it.

Question 13

Do you use glue pulling?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Glue pulling is a common PDR technique used when access behind the panel is limited.

Question 14

What is glue pulling?

Accepted Answer

Glue pulling uses specialized tabs and temporary adhesive to gently pull the dent outward from the exterior surface without repainting the vehicle.

Question 15

Should I text photos for a dent repair estimate?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Texting photos is the fastest way to get a quote. Clear photos help us evaluate the damage and provide a more accurate estimate.

Question 16

Yes. Our paintless dent repair shop is located in Nokomis, Florida, and is available by appointment only.

Question 17

Can I bring my car in for an estimate?

Accepted Answer

Question 18

Accepted Answer

We provide the exact address after your appointment is scheduled to make sure we are available and not out on mobile service calls.

Question 19

What payment methods do you accept?
