Paintless Dent Removal(PDR)
How We Repair Dings and Dents
Paintless dent removal (PDR) is a process of removing small dings and dents
from vehicles without sanding, filling, or repainting the original
finish of the vehicle.
Body panel metal has "memory". It will return to its original shape and
contour when massaged into place. In paintless dent repair, we use metal rods to
reach inside the body panels and gently massage the dent until it's flush with
the surface. With the rod in place, we use a gentle prying motion to push out
the dent, starting at the dent's perimeter and slowly working toward the center.
Any fine scratches left on the clear coat layer, or paint from the damaging car,
can be polished off, once these steps are completed, the paint and sheet metal
are returned to factory condition.
Before PDR, the only alternative was to have a body shop strip the damaged
panels to bare metal, pound out the pockmarks, cover the panel with filler, sand, and
repaint. Having
just two or three door dings repaired using traditional body-shop methods can
cost hundreds of dollars and take days or weeks to repair. We can do the same
job for much less and it only takes about an hour. Today's lighter-gauge sheet
metals are easier to bend, and body paints are now flexible enough to stretch
without cracking.
Don't Let This Be Your Car!
Benefits of Paintless Dent Removal

repair matching your original finish.
- Repair of 1 ding/dent takes about an hour or less. No need to rent a
vehicle or be without for days on end.
- You will save hundreds of dollars, compared to having repairs made at a
conventional body shop.
- Repairing dings and dents will increase the value of your vehicle and
possibly make it easier to sell.
- Zing-A-Ding has mobile service; we can perform the
repair wherever
YOU are.
- Returning a ding-free leased vehicle will save you money on "excessive
wear & tear" charges from the manufacturer.
- Most auto insurance will cover Zing-A-Ding repairs, however, most repairs
will cost much less than your deductible.
- No hazardous chemicals are used, as in a body shop, so there is no harm to
the environment.
Types of Damage That Can Be Repaired
Small & Large Dents
- Zing-A-Ding can repair anything from a slight wave, to a dent the size of
softball. It may be virtually invisible (except to you) or may look like a
minor collision. Whatever the size, they are all annoying. Most can be removed
so perfectly, they become a memory.
Hail Damage
- Instead of replacing your hood, roof, trunk, and other areas of your
vehicle with aftermarket parts, let Zing-A-Ding make the repairs and keep your
original sheet metal in tact. The cost to repair using paintless dent repair
generally costs half of what it would to use traditional body shop techniques.
Creases
- Creases can be removed as long as the metal has not been "stretched" too
far. Even if the crease is too large to be removed completely, it can often be
improved enough so the after effect is barely noticeable.
Our Guarantee
Zing-A-Ding guarantees that it's professional services are performed to the
highest standards of skilled workmanship. If you are not satisfied, we are not
satisfied.
