    Frequently asked questions

    Everything Denver metro drivers ask us most often about paintless dent repair, hail damage and insurance claims.

    Paintless dent repair reshapes damaged metal from behind the panel using specialised rods and glue-pull tools. Because nothing is sanded, filled or sprayed, the original factory finish stays on the vehicle.

    The main factors are paint condition, whether the metal has stretched and whether the back of the panel can be reached. The reliable way to find out is an assessment under reflection lighting, either from photographs as a first read, or in person.

    On eligible damage the goal is a panel that reads correctly under a reflection board from multiple angles. Some damage: sharp creases, body-line dents, stretched metal, finishes as a substantial improvement rather than a complete removal, and we tell you which category yours falls into beforehand.

    Aluminium can be worked, but it holds less memory than steel and generally takes longer. We assess aluminium panels individually rather than quoting them the same way as steel.

    The Front Range urban corridor sits east of the foothills, in the path of storms that build over the mountains on summer afternoons and track out across the plains. Vehicles parked outside during the working day have no way of avoiding them.

    Dents do not improve on their own, and unrepaired damage stays repairable as long as the paint is intact. Any deadline you face is likely to come from your insurance policy's reporting window, so check that with your carrier.

    Panel by panel. Each affected surface is lit and the impacts are counted by size band, which produces a written record rather than a general impression of the damage.

    We document the damage we find and review the estimate your carrier produces. Coverage, deductibles and claim approval are decided by your insurance company under the terms of your policy.

    No. Your deductible and what your policy covers are set by your insurer, and only they can confirm them. What we can give you is an accurate picture of the damage and the repair.

    It is additional eligible damage documented after the original estimate was written, often damage that only becomes visible once a panel is lit properly or trim is removed. It is submitted for your carrier's consideration.

    No. Requesting an estimate and having your damage assessed is free, and there is no obligation to proceed.

    It depends on the number of dents, their location and the access required. We give you a duration once the damage has been mapped, not before.

    One wide shot of the whole panel, then two or three close shots from a low angle with light reflecting across the surface. A flat, straight-on photograph hides almost all dent damage.

    What Denver drivers ask before booking paintless dent repair

    Most questions we get in Denver come down to three things: is the dent a paintless dent repair candidate, how much does dent removal cost in Denver, and how long the vehicle will be with us.

    Hail damage repair in Denver is the biggest category. Colorado's Front Range hail belt means an average storm season leaves thousands of vehicles with roof, hood and trunk dents that PDR can usually correct without paint.

    Insurance questions come second. We document Denver hail claims, meet adjusters, and file supplements when the first estimate misses panels, so your deductible is the only cost you plan around.

    Anything not answered here, ask directly. We would rather explain why a crease repair in Denver takes longer than a door ding than have you guess from a price list.
