Paintless dent removal (PDR) removes hail dents, and the process is ideal for newer vehicles manufactured from high-strength steel and malleable paint. However, PDR requires special tools and procedural training for the repair person.
Advantages
In most cases, PDR repairs are done in an hour or two, because it does not require the repair person to use body filler or repaint. Thus, PDR is less expensive than the traditional method, because of minimal labor charges.
Procedure
The repair person works from behind the dent, thus she may remove inside panels, trim and even door windows. Then, she manipulates the outer edges of the dent with special tools until the dent works itself out.
Suggestion
If the repair shop where you took your hail-damaged car used PDR to remove the dents, make sure your insurance company is aware of that. Some insurance companies waive deductibles, if the body shop used PDR to remove the dents.
