Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) is the art and science of removing minor dents and dings without disturbing your vehicle’s original factory finish. At Metroplex Collision Center in Dallas, TX, our certified technicians use advanced tools and techniques to restore your car to its pre-damage condition without the need for fillers, sanding, or repainting. Whether you’ve been caught in a Texas hailstorm or suffered a parking lot mishap, PDR is a fast, cost-effective solution that preserves your vehicle’s value.
Paintless Dent Repair is a non-invasive process that uses precision metalwork to gently massage dents out from behind the panel. Unlike traditional dent repair, PDR doesn’t require repainting, body filler, or blending. The result? A seamless, factory-quality finish without the downtime and costs associated with conventional bodywork.
This method is especially effective for:
Door dings
Shopping cart impacts
Minor creases
Bodyline dents (if accessible)
If the paint hasn’t been cracked or compromised, chances are high that PDR is the right fix.
At Metroplex Collision Center, our PDR process begins with a thorough inspection using specialized lighting and reflection boards to assess the damage and determine if PDR is suitable. Once confirmed, our trained technicians access the backside of the damaged panel through factory entry points like fender liners or trim panels.
Using a combination of rods, levers, and precision hand tools, each dent is slowly and skillfully massaged back into its original shape. Our goal is to restore the metal to its original contour without disturbing the vehicle’s paint or structure. This delicate process requires years of training and a keen eye for detail.
We also use glue-pull techniques for areas that don’t allow tool access, making PDR possible on nearly every part of the vehicle.
Preserves factory paint: No repainting or filler means your vehicle maintains its original finish.
Faster turnaround: Many PDR repairs are completed within hours, not days.
Cost-effective: Lower labor and material costs make PDR more affordable.
Insurance-friendly: Hail damage and minor dents are often covered under comprehensive insurance.
Eco-friendly: No paint, filler, or chemicals involved.

Metroplex Collision Center specializes in hail damage claims. If your vehicle was affected by a recent storm, we’ll help you file your insurance claim, schedule an inspection, and even offer Free Pick-Up & Delivery to make the process hassle-free. We also provide rental assistance during your repair.
Many hail repairs involve dozens—sometimes hundreds—of small dents. PDR is the fastest and most effective solution for this kind of widespread damage. If any panels are too severely damaged for PDR, we’ll combine it with Auto Body Repair to get the job done right.
While PDR is highly effective, it isn’t the right solution for every dent. Deep dents with cracked paint, sharp creases near panel edges, or damage on inaccessible structural areas may require Traditional Collision Repair or Structural Repair.
In such cases, our team will provide a full estimate and explain the necessary steps to restore your vehicle to OEM standards. We use I-CAR certified techniques and Frame Repair systems when structure is affected.
