FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is Paintless Dent Repair (PDR)?
Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) is a process used to remove minor dents and dings from a vehicle’s body without using paint or fillers. Skilled technicians use specialized tools to gently massage the dented area back to its original shape.
What types of dents can be repaired using PDR?
PDR is effective for small to medium-sized dents caused by hail, door dings, minor collisions, or other impacts, as long as the paint is not chipped or cracked.
Can all dents be repaired using PDR?
No. If the paint is damaged or if the dent is too large or located on a sharp edge, PDR may not be suitable. In such cases, traditional bodywork may be required.
How long does a PDR service take?
Most PDR jobs can be completed within a few hours. The time required depends on the size, location, and complexity of the dent.
Does PDR affect my car's factory paint warranty?
No, PDR is a non-invasive technique that does not alter or harm your vehicle’s factory paint, ensuring that your warranty remains intact.
How much does PDR cost?
The cost of PDR depends on factors such as the size and location of the dent and the extent of the damage. It is generally more affordable than traditional body shop repairs.
Do I need to bring my car to a shop for PDR?
No, GS Paintless Dent Repair offers mobile services. We come to your location in the Atlanta area, making the repair process convenient and hassle-free.
Will my insurance cover PDR?
Many insurance companies cover PDR, especially for hail damage. Check with your provider to confirm your coverage and any deductible requirements.
Will the dent come back after PDR?
No. Once a dent is repaired using PDR, the area is permanently restored to its original shape and will not revert to its dented state.
Can PDR fix hail damage?
Yes, PDR is an ideal solution for repairing hail damage as it preserves the vehicle’s original paint and is typically quicker than traditional methods.

Does weather affect the PDR process?
