Experienced technician to take care of it

Choose a Qualified PDR Technician

Not all dings and dents are created equally. Nor are PDR technicians.

It takes proper training and years of experience for a PDR technician to become an expert in his craft. Determining the best way to remove a ding, crease or minor dent takes knowledge and experience to ensure flawless results. If an unskilled technician pushes too hard when repairing a dent, the sheet metal will over stretch, the paint will split and the repair is ruined.

At LS Restoration Technology you will benefit from the workmanship of an experienced technician trained abroad with seasoned master craftsman in the art of sheet metal shaping. A longstanding partnership with major car dealers, body shops, insurance adjustors, car enthusiasts and car owners has lead to a solid knowledge of the craft with a profound passion and respect for the art.

Before repair - A reflection source to visualise damage

How it's done

Understanding the PDR process is simple, but performing it correctly is another matter.

A reflection source is essential to properly visualise the damaged area. A repair can be performed by gaining access to the inner panel with crafted tools or by applying a glue pulling technique to the exterior of the panel pulling the dents out. Although we take great pride in our no drill policy, this process maybe ultimately necessary to gain access to a damaged area when options are very limited. Rest assured this option is handled professionally.

A skilled technician uses pin point hand-eye coordination to precisely locate the tip of the tool on the exact location of the damaged area. While using controlled pressure, your dented panel is meticulously restored without sacrificing your vehicles factory finish, thus regaining your vehicle resale value.

Contributing factors for how successful a repair maybe are dependant on how sharp the dent is, how flexible the paint is, on the amount of metal that has been stretched by the damage incurred and where the dent is located. PDR may be used on aluminum, magnesium and conventional steel sheet metal panels.

FAQ

What is paintless dent repair PDR?
Paintless dent repair is otherwise known as PDR. This is a process used by technicians to remove dents from the vehicle without having to use fillers or paint on the vehicle. The technicians apply pressure and leverage to the backside of the panel and massage the dents out while keeping the factory paint finish intact. There is no sanding, or body fillers or painting involved.
A glue pull technique may be an option depending on the location and severity of damage.

What size dents can be removed with this process?
It is more important to know how sharp or how deep the dent is. Flexibility of the paint, the amount the metal that has been stretched by the damage and where a dent is located is more important than how large a dent is.

We specialize in parking lot damage – door dings, golf ball and baseball impacts, as well as hail damage.

What if the paint is cracked or chipped?
Often what many people perceive as a chip or scratch will often just be an abrasion from what ever had impacted it. These can usually be polished or rubbed out to a large degree when we remove the dent. If the paint is chipped down to the primer or steel, the dent is removed and applying a factory touch up will make for a very satisfactory repair.
