Pricing depends on dent size, location, and count — here's how the Paul Kordon matrix and our own experience shape a real-world quote.
Three things move the price of a PDR job: the size of the dent, where it sits on the panel (a flat hood is easier to access than a tight body line or a reflex crease), and how many dents there are. Our online PDR Estimator uses the industry-standard Paul Kordon pricing matrix to give you a ballpark before you ever set foot in the shop.
A small, easily accessed dent — the classic parking-lot door ding — starts at $149. Larger dents or ones on harder-to-reach panels cost more, and body-line dents and creases are priced individually because access and repair time vary so much panel to panel.
If you're getting more than one dent repaired at the same visit, each additional dent after the first is discounted 25%. This is common for anything short of a full hail job — a couple of dings picked up over a few months, for example.
When hail damage is covered by your insurance, you're not paying our per-dent rate at all — you pay your policy deductible, and we bill your insurer directly for the approved repair amount. That's usually the most cost-effective way to handle any vehicle with more than a handful of hail dents, since the deductible is a fixed cost regardless of dent count.
Because PDR skips filler, sanding, primer, paint, and clear coat, the labor and materials cost is a fraction of a traditional repair. Most Pro PDR jobs run 50% to 70% less than an equivalent body shop quote for the same damage.
Small, easily accessed door dings start at $149. The final price depends on the exact size and panel location, which we confirm at your free in-person inspection.
It's a real ballpark, built on the same Paul Kordon matrix professional PDR shops use industry-wide, not a marketing gimmick. Final pricing is always confirmed at a free in-person inspection, since photos alone can't capture every detail of a dent.
If your hail damage is covered by insurance, you pay only your deductible, not our standard per-dent pricing. If you're paying out of pocket without a claim, hail jobs are quoted based on total dent count and severity.
No. Inspections and estimates are always free with no obligation, whether it's one dent or storm damage across the whole vehicle.
A body shop repair involves filling, sanding, priming, painting, and clear-coating a panel, plus the labor and dry time each step requires. PDR skips all of that by working the metal back into shape from behind the panel, so the cost reflects skilled labor and time, not materials and paint booth time.
