What If It's A Large Dent?
At National Dent Works, we evaluate several factors to determine if a dent can be repaired using paintless dent removal (PDR). Since no two dents are the same, we carefully assess:
Cause of the Damage – The type of object that caused the dent affects its shape and depth. The force and energy transferred to your vehicle determine how the dent formed.
Location & Depth – Dents in easily accessible areas are more likely to be repairable. We also consider whether the dent is on a body line, has a crease, or is in a challenging spot.
Size & Shape – Some dents are shallow and wide, while others are deep and sharp. Accessing the area behind the dent is key to a successful repair.
By evaluating these details, our technicians can accurately determine whether PDR is the right solution for your vehicle. Contact National Dent Works today for an expert assessment!
