WHAT HAPPENS AT A FREE PDR INSPECTION?

If you've never been through a PDR estimate before, it's a lot less involved than people expect — no teardown, no waiting days for a callback. Here's what actually happens.

Step 1: Walk-Around Under Proper Lighting

Our technicians examine the vehicle under specialized PDR lighting, the same reflection boards used during an actual repair, which reveals dents that are easy to miss under normal daylight or in a driveway.

Step 2: Count and Categorize the Damage

Each dent gets assessed for size, panel location, and accessibility — the same factors that determine both whether PDR is the right method and what it will cost.

Step 3: An Honest Recommendation

If everything is a good PDR candidate, we'll tell you that and give you a price. If something isn't — cracked paint, structural damage, a panel that needs replacement — we'll say so directly rather than attempting a repair that won't hold up.

Step 4: A Real Price, Not Just a Ballpark

Our online PDR Estimator gives you a preliminary ballpark before you ever visit, using the industry-standard Paul Kordon matrix. The in-person inspection confirms the exact price, since photos and online tools can't capture every detail of a dent's depth and access.

Step 5: Scheduling, If You Want to Move Forward

There's no pressure to commit on the spot. If you'd like to schedule the repair, we'll set a time; if you want to think it over or compare quotes, that's completely fine too.
