Dent location
Body lines, panel edges, bracing, and access behind the metal affect the repair path.
Additional service / PDR in DFW
Paintless dent repair in DFW. Preserve the existing finish when the dent qualifies.
Auto Glass General evaluates door dings, minor creases, and hail damage for Paintless Dent Repair. PDR reshapes qualifying damage without the filler and repainting used in traditional body repair.
PDR evaluation
Not every dent is a PDR dent.
- Parking-lot door dings
- Minor creases and panel dents
- Hail damage evaluation
- Panels with intact paint
Controlled tap-down work can refine the panel surface after a qualifying dent has been carefully reshaped.
Is PDR the right fit?
PDR eligibility depends on more than dent size.
The dent’s shape and location, the paint condition, the panel material, and access behind the metal all influence the recommendation.
Depth and shape
Sharp impacts, stretched metal, and complex creases may require a different approach.
Paint condition
Cracked, chipped, or previously repaired paint can change whether PDR is appropriate.
Panel material
Steel and aluminum respond differently and are evaluated before a recommendation is made.
A reflection light makes subtle line distortion easier to inspect before a PDR recommendation is made.
Straight reflections across an intact finish show the surface quality PDR is intended to preserve when damage qualifies.
How the evaluation works
A precise repair begins with a close look.
01
Tell us what happened
Identify the vehicle, affected panel, likely cause, and service location.
02
Get the right recommendation
Share clear photos from the requested angles so the dent shape and paint condition can be evaluated.
03
Choose your next step
We’ll explain whether PDR appears suitable and what must be confirmed before scheduling.
When PDR fits
A cleaner route around traditional bodywork.
- Works with the vehicle’s existing paint finish
- Avoids filler and repainting when PDR is appropriate
- Targets the damaged area with specialized tools
When it may not
Some damage needs a different repair plan.
- Paint is split, missing, or heavily damaged
- Metal is severely stretched or inaccessible
- The panel has complex prior repairs
Documented results
A matched hail-damage comparison—not look-alike stock photos.
This licensed example shows the same roof before and after documented PDR work. Results vary with panel access, metal stretch, paint condition, and dent severity.
