Whether you have dents from other doors hitting your car door, or if a collision or hail storm caused some damage, paintless dent repair is an option. Paintless dent repair is used when the dent damage didn't scratch the paint or crease the panel. There are many reasons to consider this method over more extensive repair methods.

1. Low Cost

When it comes to dents, paintless repair is a low cost option. There are no expensive supplies needed, just a few basic tools and trained technician to use them. Your car also spends less time in the shop, which means you save on labor as well as repair materials. 

2. Quick Service

Rebuilding dented body panels can take several days to weeks, depending on the severity of the damage. If your car is a candidate for paintless dent removal, then the job can typically be completed within a few hours -- although extensive denting may require a couple of days to complete. This is because the repair isn't as labor intensive nor does it require curing and drying time for fillers and paint. Getting back on the road quickly is major benefit, especially if you have limited access to a rental vehicle during the repair.

3. Flawless Finish

Repainting a repaired dent can be a challenge, especially if your car is more than a few years old. The issue is matching the paint exactly to the current color, since sun fading can cause minor but noticeable differences. Paintless repair doesn't have this issue. At most, your repair tech may polish or refresh the clear coat after the repair to ensure it has the same luster as the rest of the car.

4. Maintains Value

Dented and damaged cars lose value, which can impact you in the event you go to sell the vehicle. Even well done repairs can drop the value, particularly if you had a dent patched with filler. Paintless dent repair returns the car to its factory condition without any permanent alterations to the panel, so your car is much more likely to retain its value. 

5. Eco-Friendly

Normal dent repair requires a lot of chemicals and synthetic compounds in order to smooth out dents, remove the old paint, and apply fresh paint. Paintless repairs typically require none of these things in order to make a body panel look like new, which is much better for the environment in the long run.
