Fixing Aluminum dented vehicles

Updated: Nov 19



When it comes to fixing dents in an aluminum vehicle, due to a door ding, crease or minor dent, aluminum is much harder to work on and takes a lot more skill and patience. Aluminum is one of the harder metals to work when it comes to "paintless dent repair" pushing the metal back to its original form is much more difficult than normal steel.


Metal Memory? Aluminum metal doesn't have a good 'metal memory', which means that when aluminum is dented unlike steel, it's not as easily shaped back to its undamaged state. To form aluminum back to its original state, specific tools and skills are needed to work the aluminum back into it pre-accident condition.

Cost. The cost to work a dent out of aluminum is higher for the reasons you just read. Usually you will see a 35-50% up-charge when it comes to performing "PDR" on an aluminum vehicle or motorcycle gas tank. working with door dents in aluminum takes at least 50% longer and is much more strenuous on the paintless dent repair technician! Factors like where the dent is located and how stretch the dent is, will determine if the dent is even fixable. feel free to contact us at info@gotdentsgetfixed.com or you can text us your pictures for a quick quote at 920-389-3368.
