Paintless Dent Repair is the Better Option
When you need to get rid of unsightly door dings or hail damage your best bet is paintless dent repair. This option is far superior than traditional methods of dent repair. There is no need for anything to be adhered to your vehicle body and no need to attempt to match paint. It is also less costly and takes less than a day to finish. If your car will be in the shop overnight C & D Dent Guys offers a courtesy rental.
Why is Paintless Dent Repair Better?
First and foremost, this form of dent repair actually restores your car to its original state. It is not just a cosmetic cover up of the dent. Instead, certified technicians use special tools and techniques to accomplish the job. They go through rigorous training and testing to ensure they can accomplish the job adequately. They pull and push the dents out of the body to leave the vehicle in its former state. This repair is not included on your car’s record because it is not a major repair. This also means that you will retain the value of your vehicle. As mentioned before, while saving the value of your car you also will end up paying much less than going the traditional route.
Traditional Dent Repair
Traditional methods of dent repair include sanding down the area around the dent. Then a technician fills the dent with Bondo to hide it. After that, they attempt to match the paint color as closely as possible. This can be extremely hard, especially for older cars. If your vehicle sits in the sun the paint will obviously be faded. You may end up with a spot on your vehicle that is slightly different, shiner and newer than the rest of the paint. Compared to paintless dent repair, it is a process that takes much longer. Waiting for the different layers to dry takes time. This repair is also annotated on your Carfax record and can depreciate the value of your vehicle.
Does My Car Qualify?
Unfortunately, some dents simply don’t qualify for paintless repair. The paint cannot be broken or scratched. The dent cannot be too deep as well. The location of the dent will factor in as well. The good news is, our certified technician at C & D Dent Guys can inspect your vehicle and give you a verdict. We will determine if your dent can be repaired with paintless dent repair methods.
