When Paintless Dent Repair Makes Sense
If your vehicle has minor dents — like door dings, small hail dents, or shallow creases — and the paint surface is intact, PDR is often the ideal solution. At Friendship Auto Body Centers, we use skilled PDR techniques to restore damaged panels without sanding, filling, or repainting. This helps maintain your car’s original look, avoid paint mismatch, and restore value quickly.
Why Choose Friendship Auto Body Centers for PDR
- Extensive experience: Serving the Atlanta metro (Gwinnett County, Stone Mountain, Snellville, Marietta) since 2003 — we know local conditions and vehicle types.
- Skilled technicians: Certified and trained to handle PDR on domestic and imported vehicles, ensuring high-quality results without damaging the original paint.
- Fast turnaround: PDR can often be completed in hours rather than days, meaning less inconvenience for you compared to traditional repair methods.
- Cost-effective: Because no repainting or fillers are needed, PDR typically costs less than traditional dent repair — a budget-friendly choice for minor damage.
- Paint & resale value preservation: PDR preserves the factory paint and finish, avoiding color-mismatch issues and helping maintain your vehicle’s resale value.
Our Paintless Dent Repair Process
- Inspection & assessment — We evaluate the dent’s size, depth, and paint condition to confirm it qualifies for PDR.
- Panel access & dent manipulation — Using specialized PDR tools, we access the backside of the dented panel and carefully massage the metal back into shape.
- Finishing & inspection — We smooth out the repaired area, inspect for even finish and alignment, and ensure no visible distortion.
- Quality check & customer handoff — We walk you through the results, confirm your satisfaction, and return your vehicle looking as close to original as possible.
Is Your Dent a Candidate for PDR?
Good for PDR:
- Small to moderate dents, door dings, hail dents, shallow creases
- Paint surface intact (no chips, scratches, or paint damage)
Not ideal for PDR:
- Deep dents that crease the metal severely or where paint is cracked / damaged
- Areas that need panel replacement or involve structural damage
