Car dents can come from a variety of sources. They include:
- Grocery carts bumping into your car
- Golf ball accidents
- Hail damage
- Hit and runs
- Minor damages caused by pedestrians and bicyclists
While you can’t protect your vehicle from all accidents that cause dents, you certainly can repair them easily. Paintless dent repair is a fast and affordable service offered in many cities. No matter what the cause of your dent, dent removal can restore your car to its original perfection without breaking the bank.
Types of Dents
There are different types of dents, and not all can be repaired with paintless dent removal. Here are a few of the car dents that can be easily repaired with dent removal:
- A dent the size of an orange where the paint is unbroken. The dent forms a crease.
- A circular dent the size of a quarter with unbroken paint.
- A crumpled or creased dent the size of a hand with no broken paint.
Other types of dents can be improved but not 100 percent fixed with dent repair. These include dents with scratches to the paint or dents located close to the edge of a panel.
Why Paintless Dent Repair Beats the Body Shop
When considering dent removal, you may be told that a body shop is your best option. That’s not always true. A dent removal service from a company that does primarily dent removal can actually be more affordable, and many come to your location to remove the dent. This saves you the trouble and time of driving to a body shop, leaving your car, renting another, and returning a few days later to pick up your car. In just a few minutes, your dent is removed by a dent repair technician and you can go back to your life.
Paintless dent repair shops charge about 70 percent less than body shops, so one benefit of them over body shops is cost savings (and time savings). Most shops guarantee their work, so you can be assured it will get done right the first time, or you get your money back. Paintless dent removal is also good for the environment because it doesn’t use any of the chemical-laden auto paint that body shops use.
