What is Paintless Dent Repair?
Paintless dent repair is a process of removing dents and dings from a vehicle without needing to utilize expensive body fillers and new coats of paint. At Fisher Auto our highly skilled technicians will use a series of steel rods to get to the dent from behind the car’s body panel. These steel rods are used to apply pressure to key points of the dent to massage the metal and work the dent out while special lighting is used to make the fine details of the dent visible.

By bringing your vehicle in for professional paintless dent repair you can restore the look of your car while keeping the original finish in-place. While this process may seem like it could be performed at home, you do run the risk of damaging your vehicle’s trim or wiring while trying to get access to the dent, which is why it is so important to let our professionals utilize their years of experience to handle this process. It is also important to realize that not all dents and dings are candidates for paintless dent repair — our technicians will analyze your vehicle’s damage and determine if paintless dent repair is an option or if different methods of dent removal will need to be used.
One of the more common areas for dents to occur is on car doors.
When approaching door dent removal, there are several important factors to examine:
- Location of the Dent: Automotive technicians must first examine the location of the dent on the door to see if paintless dent repair is an option. If the dent is too close to a panel edge or crease, other dent removal methods may be used.
- Identify the Type of Dent: The next step that our technicians perform is to examine the extent of the dent to see if paintless dent removal is still an option. If the dent is shallow, has no visible paint damage, and appears structurally sound, then paintless dent removal can be used.
Our technicians use similar factors to determine if hail dent removal can be completed using paintless dent removal techniques.
Can I Perform Paintless Dent Repair Myself?
When your vehicle is in need of small dent removal it may be tempting to just complete the process yourself. While this is possible, there are numerous risks that could arise when attempting paintless dent repair without the proper tools and expertise.
Just a few of these Self PDR risks include:
- Massaging a Dent Too Far: which causes the sheet metal to stretch beyond repair, resulting in a deformed shape.
- Repairing a Dent that Appears to be Completely Removed: only to find minor imperfections that appear with different lighting.
- Purchasing incorrect tools: could lead to trim damage when attempting to remove body panels to reach the dent.
With the numerous risks that can occur from paintless dent repair, it is considerably more cost-effective to let the professionals at Fisher Auto take care of your dent removal needs.
What if I Need a Car Paint Job with My Dent and Scratch Repair?
Repairing scratches and dents with paintless dent repair services
For some dents using paint-less dent repair is simply out of the question, and in these cases it is important to bring your vehicle to Fisher Auto where our skilled automotive technicians can treat paint that has been damaged by hail or an accident. When surface scratches are present it is important to remove the old finish completely using surface sanding to prevent the area from cracking and peeling later. When the damage occurs on a bumper, the proper course of repair may be to remove the bumper. By removing the bumper we can obtain the best paint coverage and avoid paint overspray that will ruin the vehicle’s finish.
