Conventional repair is when the automobile's outer damaged panel is sanded down to bare metal and different body techniques are used like welding a stud to the panel and pulling out the dent with a slide hammer. After the damage panel is roughed out smooth. There will be a skim coat of plastic filler or bondo put onto the prepped panel and sanded smooth. After that the panel has primer sprayed onto it, then the base coat and then the clear coat applied in a paint booth. Finally the freshly painted panel is lightly buffed to remove any bubbles in the clear from painting. Paintless dent repair uses specially made rods, glue tabs, hammers and knock downs to slowly vibrate the metal either from the back side of the panel or the outer side depending on the location while using a PDR light to look at the reflection of the dent.

When a PDR professional uses the PDR process correctly and uses rust protection if metal on metal action is needed then PDR does not cause rust.

Can Paintless Dent Repair Fix Damage from Shopping Carts and Other Odd Dings?

Your car is an investment worth protecting. Every ding tells a story, but it’s not the story you want to tell. Whether you’re preserving your luxury vehicle’s prestigious appearance or maintaining your family car’s resale value, those mysterious parking lot dents can cost you thousands at trade-in time.

Fortunately, dent repair technology has evolved to protect your car’s appearance and wallet.

Why That “Minor” Dent Isn’t So Minor

Do you think a small ding is just cosmetic? Think again. In Colorado’s harsh mountain climate, even tiny dents can trap moisture and salt from winter roads, leading to rust and deterioration beneath your car’s protective finish. Arizona’s intense sun compounds the problem. Those minor dents can weaken your vehicle’s heat-resistant coating, leading to paint bubbling and premature aging in the desert heat.

For Colorado drivers dealing with mountain parking lots and winter recreation gear, these dings often appear in clusters. That ski equipment cart at Breckenridge or your mountain bike rack in Colorado Springs can leave lasting marks that worsen with freeze-thaw cycles. In Arizona’s Valley of the Sun, those shopping cart dings from trying to escape the heat in Phoenix or Scottsdale can quickly turn into heat-warped weak spots in your car’s exterior.

That’s why paintless dent repair (PDR) is essential for maintaining your car’s integrity and appearance, protecting it against environmental challenges.

How Much Does Paintless Dent Repair Cost?

The cost of door ding repair varies depending on the size and location of the damage. However, PDR is typically more affordable than traditional bodywork.

Specialists in this innovative technique can preserve your car’s original finish while restoring its smooth surface. The best part? Most repairs can be completed in just a few hours.

What Can (and Can’t) Be Fixed with PDR

Not every dent is a candidate for PDR, but you might be surprised by what skilled technicians can repair. Here’s what PDR can tackle and when you might need alternative solutions.

Perfect Candidates for PDR

Round dents from shopping carts, car doors, and stray balls
Small to medium-sized dings under 4 inches
Shallow dents where the metal hasn’t been stretched
Multiple dents from hail damage, even across entire panels
Minor creases from low-impact bumps
Door dings in any panel area with adequate access behind it

When PDR Might Not Be Your Best Option

Dents where the paint is broken, cracked, or already failing
Damage near the very edge of panels where metal is folded
Areas that have been previously repaired with body filler
Extremely sharp or deep creases that have stretched the metal
Dents in plastic panels or bumpers (these require different techniques)
Damage that has created ripples or warping across a large area

The “Maybe” Zone Which Needs Professional Assessment

Deep dents larger than 4 inches (success depends on metal flexibility)
Creases that don’t extend to panel edges
Complex dents with multiple impact points
Dents in double-walled panels (like hood bracing areas)
Areas with limited access behind the panel

Remember, even if your damage falls into a “challenging” category, an experienced PDR technician might still be able to significantly improve the appearance if not completely remove the dent. Getting a professional assessment before assuming traditional body work is your best option.

Get Back That Flawless Look

Don’t let that shopping cart ding diminish your pride in your vehicle. Acting quickly prevents further damage and maintains your car’s value.
