How much does paintless dent repair (PDR) cost?

Paintless dent repair pricing typically starts around $75 per panel and varies based on the size, depth, sharpness, location, and accessibility of the damage, along with the number of dents and whether the panel is steel or aluminum. Final pricing is confirmed before any work begins after review of clear photos or an on-site evaluation.

Do you price PDR per dent or per panel?

Pricing is based on the overall repair profile, which may include one dent or multiple dents on a panel. Factors like access, body lines, edges, and metal type can change repair time, so the quote reflects the work required rather than a one-size-fits-all per-dent price.

What factors affect PDR pricing the most?

The most common pricing factors include dent size and depth, sharpness, location (edges or body lines vs flat areas), access behind the panel, number of dents, steel vs aluminum panels, and any trim or component removal required to reach the damage.

Can you provide a PDR quote from photos?

Often yes. Clear photos can help estimate a range, but some repairs require an on-site evaluation to confirm access, depth, and repairability. Pricing is confirmed before work begins.

Do you drill holes for PDR repairs?

No. The DiNG Company does not drill holes or compromise factory paint as part of the paintless dent repair process.

Is PDR more affordable than traditional body shop repairs?

In many cases, yes. PDR typically preserves the factory finish and avoids fillers and repainting, which can reduce cost and downtime compared to conventional repair methods, depending on the damage.

Do aluminum panels cost more to repair with PDR?

They can. Aluminum panels often require different handling and can take more time depending on the damage and access, so pricing may be higher than comparable dents on steel.

Do you offer pricing for detailing or paint protection film (PPF) on the same page?

This page focuses on PDR pricing guidance. Detailing, paint correction, paint protection film (PPF), and other reconditioning services vary by vehicle condition and scope, and are quoted after evaluation, especially when combined with PDR.

Paintless Dent Repair Pricing

Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) pricing typically starts at $75 per panel, with the final cost depending on the size, depth, location, access, and complexity of the damage.

Every dent is different. At The DiNG Company, pricing is based on the condition of the vehicle and the quality of work required, not one-size-fits-all pricing.

Our goal is to preserve the factory finish, minimize downtime, and provide professional mobile dent repair at your home or workplace.

Typical Paintless Dent Repair Cost

While every vehicle and dent is different, these price ranges can help set expectations.

Minor Door Ding & Small Dents

Typical Price Range: $75–$375

Minor door dings and smaller dents may fall within this range depending on the size, location, panel access, and repair complexity.

Moderate Dents & Creases

Typical Price Range: $275–$825

Larger dents, creases, body-line damage, or repairs with limited access generally require additional time, precision, and repair complexity.

Larger or Complex Dent Repair

Price: Quoted After Evaluation

Large, sharp, stretched, obstructed, or unusually located dents can vary considerably in repair complexity. Clear photos or an on-site evaluation allow us to determine repairability and provide accurate pricing.

Final pricing is always confirmed before work begins, either through clear photos or an on-site evaluation.

What Affects Paintless Dent Repair Cost?

Several factors determine how much paintless dent repair costs:

Size, depth, and sharpness of the dent
Number of dents on the panel
Location of the damage, including edges and body lines
Accessibility behind the damaged area
Steel vs. aluminum panels
Required removal and reinstallation of trim or components
Overall time and precision required to achieve the desired result

Two dents that appear similar from the outside can require very different repair processes depending on their location and accessibility.

We do not drill holes or compromise the factory finish to gain access.

Is Mobile Paintless Dent Repair More Expensive?

Our mobile PDR service is designed to bring professional dent repair directly to your home or workplace.

Pricing is based primarily on the damage and complexity of the repair, rather than simply whether the service is performed at your location.

Many repairs can be completed in a single mobile appointment, reducing the inconvenience and downtime associated with leaving your vehicle at a traditional repair facility.

Why Paintless Dent Repair Makes Sense

When the damage qualifies for PDR, paintless dent repair can:

Preserve the original factory paint
Avoids fillers, sanding, and repainting
Help maintain vehicle value
Reduce repair time
Provide a cost-effective alternative to conventional body repair
