FAQ

Paintless dent repair is the process of removing small dents, large dents, and even hail damage without having to repaint your car. Since your vehicle’s factory finish is unaffected, there is no loss of value with PDR. Anytime you can keep your factory finish, it's going to be best for maintaining your vehicle's value, especially if you go to trade it in. Anytime you're going to trade a vehicle in with repainted panels, you run the risk of them offering you less money for your vehicle because they're not sure what type of damage was there before, whether it was a small dent or scratch, or if it's been side swiped or T-boned. And they do that to protect themselves and their future customers. So make sure you check with a professional paintless dent repair facility or us here at Push Up Pdr before you go and repaint your car. 

Who should consider using paintless dent repair? Anybody who’s looking to resell their vehicle or especially trade it in at some point should strongly consider paintless dent repair. Anytime you trade your vehicle in and they find that a panel has been repainted, they always assume the worst. They’ll assume it’s been in an accident or it’s been T-boned, even if it was just a small dent or a minor scratch. To protect themselves, they’ll offer you less money for that vehicle and protect their future customers. So, anytime you can preserve your factory finish, definitely check with a paintless dent repair facility, and if you’re in our local area, make sure you check out Push Up PDR.

How much does PDR cost? The short answer is that PDR can cost anywhere from hundreds of dollars to thousands of dollars. You might ask, why does it vary so greatly? Let’s get into that. Some of the factors and variables we need to consider include the size of the damage, the severity of the damage, the location of the damage on the vehicle, and other variables as well. These include the amount of time needed to remove and reinstall parts that have to come apart for a proper repair, and those times are based on manufacturer recommendations as well as local body labor rates. So, stop by the shop at Push Up Paintless Dent Repair, and we can estimate your car very accurately in about five to ten minutes.

Can creases be fixed? We get asked this question quite a bit. People tend to think that we can fix round dents, but not creases. The short answer to the question is yes, we can fix creases small and large on your vehicle. However, creases do require more time, energy, and effort in order to repair correctly. So when you see a difference in cost or the time that it takes to repair a crease versus a round dent, you understand. If you have questions about creases come by and see us.

NO!!!!!!!!

Absolutely not! Most dents we see after a DIY attempt end up being more difficult to repair — and often come with cracked paint. Our advice? If you’re thinking about grabbing a hammer or screwdriver to pop out that dent… just don’t!

Let us handle it instead. Our technicians spend years perfecting their skills to deliver high-quality, professional results — and keep your factory finish intact. 

No. Not only is it nearly impossible to remove a dent this way, but dry ice can actually damage your paint. It’s just not worth the risk — let a professional handle it safely and correctly. 

Yes, we can provide a price range for your dent repair from a photo. That said, we prefer to see the vehicle in person because there are several factors we can’t evaluate from an image—such as sound-deadening materials inside the panel or a crash intrusion bar.

Additionally, some dents are severe enough that we need to physically inspect them to determine whether they’re good candidates for Paintless Dent Repair (PDR). An in-person evaluation ensures you get the most accurate and honest estimate possible.

Maybe, but maybe not. We here at Push Up Paintless Dent Repair have very highly skilled technicians and a lot of experience fixing large and complex dents. Many of the auto industry experts and insurance experts still aren't fully aware of how much we can do with PDR and how we're able to fix large and complex dents. Make sure before you decide to get your car painted that you send us a photo or a video of the damage so we can tell you whether or not we can help, or just stop by one of our shops for an estimate.
