Dent Removal in the Past
Traditional dent repair options rely on sanding, paint, body filler, or even new parts to get your car back to looking like new. While these can be effective, they tend to be costly, time-consuming, and hard on our nation's landfills. It is this last challenge that most concerns many consumer today; when you are working and living in locations like Silicon Valley and the Bay Area, where some of the greatest innovations in reducing your ecological footprint are available to consumers of all types, unnecessary waste simply doesn't make good, environmental sense.
Body Shops and the Environment
Most body shops are held to strict environmental regulations for a good reason: the chemicals contained in paint, paint removers, paint thinners, and body fillers are dangerous. They typically must be disposed of correctly, recycled, and otherwise contained by spray hoods so that the fumes don't escape into the atmosphere.
Hazardous waste products aren't the only concern, either. When a vehicle undergoes even a slight paint touch-up, there are paper products, tape, and protective gear to contend with. Your auto body repair specialist might also have to spend more than twice as much time – and energy in the form of electricity – to get the job done.
Paintless Dent Repair is Better for the Environment
Most of these drawbacks can be sidestepped by opting for paintless dent removal. Virtually all of the hazardous waste is taken out of the equation, thanks to the techniques and equipment that allow technicians to simply take advantage of the high-strength metal and resilient paint finish already present on your vehicle. The technician pulls out the dent using specialized equipment that ensures your existing paint isn't ruined in the process.

They take all the guesswork out of dent repair by bringing their mobile services right to your door. Paintless dent removal has never been easier – or greener.
