PAINTLESS DENT REPAIR (PDR)
Professional PDR in Chipley FL
Mitch's Collision has removed dents on many vehicle types and body styles using Paintless Dent Repair - including passenger cars, SUV's, trucks, vans, and Jeeps.
What is Paintless Dent Repair (PDR)?
Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) is a cost-effective repair method that restores a vehicle's body to factory-like condition in a fraction of the time of traditional auto body repair. If your vehicle gets a small to medium sized dent from something like hail, or a baseball, it may be a good option.
Can my vehicle be repaired with PDR?
In order for PDR to be an option we will need to evaluate the damage and vehicle with a two-step process.
STEP 1
Determining the severity of damage
Our techs will look for the parameters that we have outlined below that may indicate that your dent(s) can be repaired. If the dent(s) fall within these parameters, the tech will move on to the step two.
STEP 2
Access behind the damaged area
If our technician finds that the area behind the dent(s) is accessible and will not impede the ability to repair the dent, then PDR will be recommended.
