Question 1

What is paintless dent repair (PDR)?

Accepted Answer

Paintless dent repair is a method of removing dents from a vehicle's body panels without sanding, filling, or repainting. A trained technician uses precision tools to gently massage the metal back to its original shape from behind the panel, preserving the factory paint finish.

Question 2

Will PDR show on my Carfax report?

Accepted Answer

No. Paintless dent repair does not involve repainting or structural body work, so it does not trigger a Carfax report. Your vehicle history stays clean and your resale value is protected.

Question 3

How much does paintless dent repair cost?

Accepted Answer

PDR typically costs 25–50% less than a traditional body shop repair. Exact cost depends on the size, depth, and location of the dent. Got Dents Get Fixed provides free estimates — call or text 920-858-5019.

Question 4

Does insurance cover hail damage repair?

Accepted Answer

Yes, in most cases. Comprehensive auto insurance covers hail damage. Filing a hail claim does not raise your rates — it is an act-of-nature claim, not an at-fault accident. We provide written estimates to support your claim.

Question 5

Do you offer mobile dent repair?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer mobile PDR for door dings, dents, creases, and most non-hail repairs throughout the Fox Cities and Northeast Wisconsin. Hail damage repair is completed in-shop only at our New London, WI location.

Question 6

What types of dents can be repaired with PDR?

Accepted Answer

Most dents where the paint is not cracked can be repaired with PDR — door dings, hail dents, shopping cart dents, minor creases, and large dents up to dinner-plate size or bigger. Dents with cracked paint or tears in the metal are not candidates for PDR.

Question 7

What is ARC Master Certification?

Accepted Answer

ARC Master Certification is the highest level of professional certification in the paintless dent repair industry. Got Dents Get Fixed holds ARC Master Certification in both Hail Repair and PDR Repair. Most dent shops hold no certification at all.

Question 8

How long does dent repair take?

Accepted Answer

Most door ding and minor dent repairs are completed the same day, often in 1–2 hours. Hail damage repairs take 1–3 days depending on the number and severity of dents.
