Frequently Asked Questions

Is paintless dent repair as good as traditional bodywork?
For dents where the paint is undamaged, PDR produces results that are equal to or better than traditional bodywork. There is no risk of colour mismatch, no filler that can crack or shrink over time, and no repainting that could diminish the factory finish. PDR preserves the original paint, which is always preferable from a quality and resale value standpoint.

Does paintless dent repair affect my car’s resale value?
PDR actively preserves resale value rather than affecting it negatively. Because the original factory paint is kept intact, there is no evidence of repair visible to a prospective buyer or vehicle history check. Traditional bodywork with resprayed panels can flag on inspection reports and reduce buyer confidence. A PDR-repaired car retains its as-new finish.

How long does paintless dent repair take?
Most single dents are repaired within one to two hours. Door dings and small parking dents often take under an hour. More complex repairs, such as large panels with multiple impacts or difficult access points, may take two to four hours. Hail damage across several panels is typically a full-day job. You will be given a realistic time estimate before booking.

How do I get a quote?
Text a clear photo of the dent to 07824426591. Include a reference to the panel location and your vehicle make and model. Graham will assess the image and reply with a quote, usually the same day. There is no charge for a quote and no obligation to proceed. This is the quickest and most accurate way to get a price for your repair.

Why can’t you give a price without seeing the dent first?
Every dent is different. The depth, sharpness, panel location, metal thickness, access difficulty, and condition of the paint all influence the time and technique required. A price given without seeing the dent would either be misleadingly low or unnecessarily high. A quick photo assessment takes seconds and gives you an accurate, honest quote with no surprises on the day.

Is there a call-out fee for mobile repairs?
There is no separate call-out fee for mobile repairs within the standard coverage area. The price quoted for the repair is the price you pay. For locations at the outer edge of the coverage area, any additional travel cost will be made clear in the quote before you agree to proceed. There are no hidden charges.

Is PDR cheaper than going through insurance?
In almost every case, yes. Using PDR for a small to medium dent avoids the insurance excess you would pay, protects your no-claims bonus, and prevents the premium increase that typically follows a claim. A typical PDR repair from £120+VAT compares very favourably to an excess of £200-£500 and potentially years of higher premiums.

Do you offer any payment options?
Payment is accepted in cash or by bank transfer on completion of the repair. There is no deposit required for standard bookings. For larger repairs or fleet work involving multiple vehicles, payment terms can be discussed at the time of quoting. All pricing is transparent and agreed in advance — there are no unexpected additions to the final bill.

How much could I save by repairing dents before returning my lease car?
The saving can be substantial. Leasing companies typically charge £150-£400 per panel for damage outside fair wear and tear guidelines. A PDR repair for the same dent starts from £120+VAT in most cases. On a car with three or four dents, the saving over dealer repair charges could be £400-£800 or more. A PDR assessment before return is always worth doing.
