Dent Repair FAQs
Do you offer paintless dent repair (PDR)?
Our Chardon shop specializes in conventional dent repair and refinishing for a lasting, factory-quality finish. If your dent is a candidate for paintless dent repair specifically, we're happy to point you toward a trusted local PDR specialist.
How much does dent repair cost?
Cost depends on the size, depth, and location of the dent and how much refinishing is involved. Every repair is different, so stop in for a free assessment and a clear estimate.
Will dent repair affect my factory paint?
We use PPG computerized color matching to blend refinished areas with your existing paint, so repairs are designed to look seamless and factory-fresh.
Does insurance cover dent repair?
Often, yes — especially for hail and collision-related damage. As a Direct Repair Facility for most major insurance companies, we can help guide you through the claims process.
How long does dent repair take?
It depends on the extent of the damage and the refinishing involved. Smaller repairs can be quick, while more extensive body work takes longer; we'll give you a timeline with your estimate.
