Paintless Dent Repair

Paintless Dent Repair is a high-tech method that can be used to reform your car’s metal into its original shape without bonding, sanding, or repainting; it’s often employed when the paint hasn’t been broken.

Traditional Dent Repair involves bonding, sanding, and repainting; it’s necessary to go down this route when your car’s paint has been broken by the collision, or your vehicle’s metal has been stretched out.

With so many options out there, deciding between Paintless Dent Repair and Traditional Dent Repair can be a major dilemma for some drivers. Luckily, our Andy Mohr Collision Center is here to help out.

We created this article that outlines the benefits and drawbacks of both paintless dent removal and traditional dent removal for our customers in Plainfield, Indianapolis, Fishers, and Bloomington, IN.

The Pros and Cons: Paintless and Traditional

Let’s take a closer look at the benefits and drawbacks of both of these repair methods. 

Wiping Dent Repair

Benefits of Paintless Repair:

  • No bonding, sanding, or painting required
  • Doesn’t disturb the rest of the paintjob
  • Prevents costly panel replacements

Paintless Dent Repair Disadvantages:

  • Not applicable to sharper dents
  • Won’t fix broken paintjobs
  • Doesn’t work with inflexible paints

Benefits of Traditional Repair:

  • Works well on sharper dents
  • Fixes scratched/broken paintjobs
  • Works on older, less flexible paints

Disadvantages of Traditional Repair:

  • Takes longer than PDR
  • More expensive than PDR
  • Doesn’t maintain original warranty

In conclusion, because Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) is usually quicker and less expensive than Traditional Paint Repair (TDR), insurance companies tend to prefer it. It will sometimes restore the vehicle’s original warranty! That’s why our team of expert automotive technicians also recommends this A-Plus method.
