What exactly is PDR?

Wally Inskeep • March 29, 2019

Some call it an art.

      You may or may have not heard about Paintless Dent Removal or (PDR). This method is used to fix creases, dings, dents and hail damage on your vehicle’s body—without damaging the factory finish. A skilled PDR Technician uses special tools, which includes rods, metal picks, and pulling systems to reshape the dent back to its original state. PDR is both safe and effective for steel and aluminum panels because:
 
   1. It does not weaken the panel or make it susceptible to rust or corrosion.
 
   2. The factory paint remains intact—if it is done correctly by a professional PDR Technician.
 
The PDR process is not a simple one, it requires years of experience for a PDR Technician to perfect his craft and not every dent removal company has skilled Dent Technicians. At Columbia Dent Company, we get many customers who were victims of bad work.
