Traditional vs Paintless Auto Dent Repair

While we offer paintless dent repair, there are some instances in which traditional dent repair is the right choice.

So, when is traditional dent repair required? Typically, traditional techniques will be used when the metal of your vehicle is stretched upon impact, the body is punctured, or the dent is simply too deep to extract. This type of repair is also appropriate when extensive paint damage from the impact exists, including chips or deep scratches.

Our Vehicle Dent Repair Process

In most cases, our technicians will remove the vehicle’s body panels, tail lights, and interior panels as needed to reach the dent’s backside. We use a variety of specialized tools to reveal the shadows of the dent, allowing them to restore the damaged area to its original position seamlessly. When repairing more severe dents, our technicians will pull out the crushed area until it is level with the original surface of the vehicle. At this point, we buff and smooth out the affected area.

Now, it’s time to paint! At Preston Collision, we use the exact paint color from your vehicle’s manufacturer so you can be confident that it will be returned to you good as new – in other words, no need to worry about the damaged area standing out.
