Minor car accidents happen more often than we’d like, whether it’s getting rear-ended while stopped in traffic, your door getting dinged in a parking lot, or even a hailstorm doing damage. In all cases, you want the dent removed to restore your car as soon as possible.
For damages like these, you’ll need paintless dent repair. Our team at Andy Mohr Collision Centers near Indianapolis, IN, is here to help you with just that.
Read on to learn more about our paintless dent repair services and find out how our auto body experts can save you time and money on your vehicle’s repairs. If you have any questions along the way, just give us a call to schedule your estimate.
Sometimes, minor damage done to the body of your car will leave the paint surface intact. You want to remove the dent, but you don’t want to crack the paint in the process and end up splurging on a pricey new coat of paint. In other situations, paintless dent repair may prevent the need for a parts replacement entirely.
Paintless dent repair, or paintless dent removal, is one of the services we offer at our collision center to buff out those minor dings and leave your car looking good as new—without paying the cost of new paint. No matter how the dents got there, if they’re not too sharp or deep, we’ll get them out without damaging the paint.

It all depends on the nature of the dent or ding you want to have repaired, but paintless dent repair will cost much less than a repair that includes a fresh new coat of paint or a complete part replacement. Every accident is different, and every dent is, too.
Feel free to schedule an estimate to have your vehicle’s damage appraised. We can provide a more precise and accurate estimate when we’ve seen your vehicle with our own eyes.
When you bring your vehicle to our repair center, we’ll begin by taking a look at the damage. We’ll access whether or not the dent can be fixed without paint and then provide an estimate.
The initial step in the actual paintless dent repair process is to determine the best way to access the damaged area. Our technicians will either reach the area through an open window or by removing trim pieces or inner panels.
Using specialized tools for the process, our technicians will begin the repair process. We’ll start on the outer edge of the dent and slowly massage the metal back into position. We’ll repeat this process until the damaged areas virtually disappear. If any parts were removed, we’ll put them back on and then return the car to you.
Paintless dent repair is normally used when minor damage has been accrued. Some situations where paintless dent repair can be used include:
If any significant damage or scratches have happened, then paintless dent repair may not be the right route. Schedule a free estimate to learn more.
There are many reasons why paintless dent repair is a better option than a full parts replacement, some of which include:
In general, paintless dent repair costs much less than replacing a part entirely.
This type of repair can be done quickly so you can get back on the road sooner. With parts replacements, your car may have to spend the night at the dealership. Paintless dent repair, on the other hand, can be done in one day and have you heading back to work quickly.
When paint is needed, you run the risk of the tone not matching perfectly. Since paint isn’t needed for this type of repair, you won’t have to worry about compromising the exterior style of your vehicle.
The biggest reason paintless dent repair is a good option is that the part may not be completely damaged. For example, if your vehicle’s bumper can be easily fixed in a few simple steps, why bother replacing it altogether?
