What is minor dent / pdr?

Small dents massaged out from behind the panel without filler or repainting.

Paintless dent repair uses specialist tools to push dents out from behind the panel while keeping the original paint. It works best on car-park dings and hail dents where the paint is unbroken. It is faster and often cheaper than traditional panel work.

Signs you need it

  • Small dents from doors or trolleys
  • Hail damage
  • Paint still intact around the dent

How it works

  1. Assess dent and paint
  2. Gain access behind the panel
  3. Gently massage the dent out
  4. Check under reflective light
  5. Fine-tune and finish

You can choose a workshop visit or have a professional come to your home, work or depot.

How much does it cost?

The exact price depends on your vehicle and the job. On MYLES, each professional shows a fixed price, a starting price, a range, or sends a quote — so you can compare like for like before you book.

  • Number and size of dents
  • Access behind the panel
  • Location on the car

Tips

  • Sharp creases or cracked paint usually need conventional repair
  • Hail damage is often covered by insurance

Why it matters

Keeps original factory paint, which matters for value.
