What is Paintless Dent Repair?

PDR is the process of removing small, minor dents from your car’s body without the invasive process like traditional dent fillers and repairs. Typically, PDR is much quicker and more affordable than alternative body shop repair methods. Dents often don’t pose a threat to your car’s safety, so this process is primarily an aesthetic fix.

Keep in mind that PDR provides a visual correction, but cannot completely repair metal damage beneath the paint surface. While it may appear perfect, the underlying metal can still be slightly distorted — which generally has no impact on performance or safety.

How Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) Works

The process of removing dents involves gently massaging the dent from the back and front of the body panels using specialized tools. While DIY kits exist, they can cause stretching, paint scratching, or further damage if not performed correctly. Our experienced professionals know how to restore your vehicle’s surface safely and effectively.

Often, panels must be removed to access the backside of the dent. The location, severity, and number of dents all affect the time and cost. Our technicians will provide an accurate estimate after inspecting the damage — and in most cases, repairs can be completed in a short time.

We had a terrible experience at Duteau and were originally planning on purchasing a Suburban, I am so glad we chose to stop in and check out the Expedition. Right off the bat, the vibes are different at Anderson South. The focus on customer service is clear. We worked with Caleb and Dylan and both were kind and helpful. Caleb helped us the week previously and when he wasn’t available on the day we came back there was a seamless easy hand off. Dylan asked questions and never made us feel pressured or ignored. If you haven’t purchased a vehicle in a while, things are different here, I was expecting to be shuffled into the finance office and to my surprise we wrapped up our deal and paperwork with Dylan. I loved the experience of working with one person for the majority of the process. Managers are easily available, and out and about if you have questions. The transparency and approachability of their leadership is obvious. The general sales manager, Kraig is absolutely hands down the best of the best. He listened to our needs and made sure we had the best experience. He understands what it means to treat people with respect and kindness. My only regret is that we didn’t go here first, I will only be buying my vehicles here from now on! Side note: if you are looking at the newer model Expedition- IT IS WORTH IT!”

We needed new vehicle for our business. The van we wanted was in Grand Island and we did not have the extra time to drive there. Anderson brought the van here to Lincoln for us and it was a smooth process in buying it. We worked with Terry who was great and knowledgeable about the whole process. I’m sure we will be back when we need another!!”
