Frequently asked questions
How does paintless dent repair work?
Paintless dent repair removes dents without repainting your vehicle. We carefully work the metal back into shape from behind the panel when possible, which helps preserve your original finish and factory look. It’s a clean, efficient way to handle many minor dents and hail marks.
What kinds of dents can be fixed with Paintless Dent Repair (PDR)?
Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) can fix a wide range of dents. Originally for minor dents, a skilled technician at Fort Collins Hail + Dent Repair can repair most damage as long as the paint is intact. Our capabilities keep growing, allowing us to handle more complex repairs.
Which dents are a good fit for PDR?
PDR works well for many dents and dings, especially when the paint is still intact. Deep creases, stretched metal, or cracked paint can make a repair less suitable for PDR. If you’re unsure, we can inspect the damage and let you know the best path forward.
Do you offer mobile dent repair when on-site service makes sense?
Yes, we offer mobile paintless dent repair when the job is a good fit for on-site service. You can save time by having our team come to your location for a convenient repair experience. Contact us to schedule and we’ll help you find the best option.
Can you use insurance for hail and dent repair?
Many insurance policies cover PDR and hail damage repair. You should check with your provider to confirm your coverage, and we can help make the process easier. We work with insurance claims and aim to keep your repair experience simple and stress-free.
What should you do right after hail damages your car?
If your car gets hail damage, the best next step is to schedule an inspection as soon as possible. We’ll assess the damage, explain your repair options, and give you a clear plan. Acting quickly can help protect your vehicle’s value and keep the repair process simple.
How long does dent repair usually take?
It depends on the size, location, and severity of the damage. Small dents can often be handled faster, while larger or more complex repairs take more time. After we inspect your vehicle, we’ll give you a clearer time estimate so you know what to expect.
When is PDR not the best repair option?
PDR may not be the best fit if your paint is cracked, the metal is sharply creased, or the panel is heavily stretched. If that happens, we’ll walk you through other repair options so you can choose the right fix for your vehicle.
Can you get a free estimate before you decide?
Yes. We offer free estimates and consultations. We’ll inspect the damage, explain your options, and give you a clear next step before any work starts.
Can you help you handle a hail damage insurance claim?
Yes. We work with all insurance and can help you through the claim process. Send us your claim details, and we’ll help you move things forward without the extra hassle.
Should you book ahead before stopping by?
Booking ahead is the best way to get a dedicated time for your vehicle and a faster start to the process. Reach out to schedule your visit, and we’ll help you find the best time.
