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 will my dent repair usually take?
It depends on the size, depth, and location of the damage. Smaller paintless dent repairs are often quicker than traditional body work. After you bring your vehicle in for an inspection, we can give you a clearer time estimate based on your specific repair.
When is paintless dent repair probably not the right fix?
PDR works best when your paint is still intact and the metal has not been badly stretched. If the paint is cracked, the dent is very sharp, or the panel has severe damage, another repair method may be a better fit. We’ll inspect it and help you choose the right option.
Can you give me a free estimate before I commit?
Yes. You can contact us for a free consultation and estimate before you decide. We’ll look at the damage, explain your options, and help you move forward with confidence.
Can you help with my hail damage insurance claim?
Yes. You can work with your insurance provider, and we’ll help make the process easier on your side. We handle hail and dent repair claims and aim to keep things simple and stress-free for you.
