What is PDR?

Paintless Dent Repair, abbreviated as PDR, is the removal of dents from metal bodywork that have no paint damage within the dent without the need to respray, maintaining originality and the need for time-consuming repairs.

In general, a dent is reduced to either zero or to an unnoticeable size at a closer-than-normal viewing range (the normal viewing range is 1.5m)

The methods used are either push (This is the best and most precise from behind the dented panel with special rods, etc) or pull (glue or electromagnetism. Suction isn’t technically viable for most dents)

Farouk’s policy for dent removal; if it can’t be repaired there is no charge.


Paintless Dent Removal Pricing

Paintless dent removal like detailing is best quoted when it’s seen in person.

Every dent is unique so therefore pricing isn’t the same.

  1. Location
    1. Access and what needs to be done to get to it.
    2. Is it across a body line …
    3. Behind a cross brace …
    4. Roof, fender, bonnet, etc …
    5. Is there stripping and reassembly like roof liner, wheel, fender liner, etc
  2. Size & Shape
  3. Depth
    • The more pronounced or severe the dent, the more it pushes the metal inward, creating tension that needs to be relieved in order to restore the surface to a flat appearance that may not be noticeable to the naked eye.
  4. Aluminum vs Steel – different metals react differently.
  5. Paint Thickness

How to book PDR

  • It’s possible to provide you an estimate by photo or video via WhatsApp preferred or email.
    • It is of course best to arrange an in-person inspection to be 100%
  • We will quote an approximate price range ( i.e. minimum and maximum) as the pic will only be able to give us the location of the dent which we can use to determine access strategy and a rough idea of the size and by that means approximate pricing.
  • If you are booking PDR together with one of our in-house services, then it will be booked with a single deposit of R250 and whatever the job comes to in regards to dents, only a single payment is made.
  • If Farouk comes out to you, he has a call-out fee depending on the distance.
  • Please ensure your car has been washed.
    • If you come to us you can book it for a Maintenance Detail or wash it elsewhere and bring it clean.
