Is PDR expensive?
No. When you have a dent, you have three options. Live with it, which is free. Let a body shop repair it, which is not. OR, have Dent Tricks remove it, which is about 1/4 the cost of the body shop. Hmmm?
Do you guys use magnets, suction, dry ice, vasoline or fairies to get the dents out?
No. We use special rods, bars and picks to massage the dent out from the backside of the dent. We can get to most dents as long as they're not too close to the edge.
Should I try to get the dent out myself?
Only if you can give yourself a root canal. PDR is an art that takes years to master and a part-time technician or someone with NO experience will only make the dent worse, by cracking the paint. Then you will need us to refer you to a body shop.
You say your mobile, so is it a problem if I live in Atlanta?
Not for us. We are mobile, but we only service a small geographic territory. If you live outside the city limits of Macon or Warner Robins, we'll be glad to meet you somewhere nearby.
Are your prices negotiable?
If you'd like, we will charge you "half price" AND let you use our tools to remove the dent yourself. This will be fun for us and help save you money.
May I watch you remove my dent?
If the repair is a quick repair and your interesting....sure. However, it's uncomfortable and distracting to have someone hovering around us for an extended period of time.
May I smoke next to you while you work?
No. That's rude.
May I ask you lots of questions about the process of removing dents?
You may ask a few. We consider "lots" training and charge for that.
Will you sign autographs?
For you, yes.
Can all dents be removed through PDR?
No. Dents where the paint is damaged (scratched, rusted, oxidized, etc.) may not be repairable. We MUST see the damage to determine this. Also, if a dent is within 1/2 an inch of the edge of a panel, it may not be repairable due to access. Again, we must see the damage to dertermine this.
Do the dents disappear completely?
Most of the time they do. However, Dent Tricks is recognized for repairing dents others won't attempt. Dents that are borderline "body shop" jobs many not be repairable 100%. However, we can tell you prior to starting the repair, the approximate percentage that the dent can be removed. It may be 80% or 95% in some instances. We will discuss this with your beforehand.
If you can't remove my dent, do I still owe you anything?
We normally know as soon as we see the damage IF we can repair it or not. If we think we can and you agree to let us, you owe us nothing if can't repair it. If we remove the dent to the percentage we discussed prior to starting the repair, then yes, you do.
Will auto insurance pay for my dent removal?
Most dent repairs cost less than the typical deductible. So, it wouldn't make sense to file the claim. However, if you have severe damage like hail damage or dents all over your car from one incident, your insurance will probably cover it after you pay your deductible.
Is Dent Guard really a good deal?
Heck yeah! An average invoice for dent removal is $165. Sometimes this is for multiple panels and sometimes for one. Regardless, you can get unlimited dent removal for what works out to as little as $8 a month. Now, this does not include hail damage and yes, there are size limitations, but it's a value that will pay for itself many times over. Call us for more information.
