A Cheaper Way of Fixing Dents on Vehicles

Dents are an absolute pain in the neck. While they don’t completely ruin a vehicle’s ability to function as it should, they certainly add an unsightly blemish to it and negatively impact its resale value. That’s just the beginning of what makes dents so annoying, however.
For such a small blemish, you’d be forgiven for thinking that getting it repaired wouldn’t cost you a pretty penny, but head on over to any body shop and you’ll quickly discover that you’re dead wrong. Fortunately for car owners, there is another option they can turn to: paintless dent removal.
Paintless dent removal is performed by a skilled technician using several of a very wide array of paintless dent repair tools. These tools come in a variety of shapes and sizes that may resemble hooks, wands, or barbecue spits. These slender, elongated pieces of metal are inserted into access holes in the vehicle’s panels and doors. By applying pressure under to the dent to force it outward, the dent is slowly but surely removed.

Since paintless dent removal means that the car doesn’t need to be stripped down or repainted, it tends to be anywhere between six to ten times less expensive than having the dent removed at a body shop. This makes it a great option for owners who can’t afford expensive body shop work or prefer to keep their vehicle’s original paint.
