Frequently Asked Questions

What is Paintless Dent Repair (PDR)?

Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) is a specialist technique used to remove dents, and creases from vehicle panels without the need for fillers, sanding or repainting. By carefully massaging the metal back into its original shape using specialist tools, we can restore your vehicle while preserving the factory paint finish.

Dents & Detail provides professional mobile paintless dent repair throughout Leeds, North Yorkshire and West Yorkshire.

What types of dents can you repair?

We can repair many types of dents, including:

  • Car park dents

  • Door dents

  • Shopping trolley damage

  • Minor collision dents

  • Creases

  • Bodyline dents

  • Hail damage

If you're unsure whether your dent can be repaired, simply send us a few photos and we'll provide honest advice.

Can every dent be repaired using PDR?

Not every dent is suitable for Paintless Dent Repair.

The success of a repair depends on factors such as:

  • The size of the dent

  • Its location

  • Whether the paint has been damaged

  • Access behind the panel

  • The type of metal

We'll always assess your vehicle first and recommend the most suitable repair method.

How much does Paintless Dent Repair cost?

The cost depends on the size, depth and location of the damage.

Small dents generally start from around £70, with larger or more complex repairs priced accordingly.

We provide free, no-obligation quotes with no hidden costs.

What is paint correction?

Paint correction is the process of removing swirl marks, light scratches, oxidation and other paint defects using specialist machine polishing techniques.

The aim is to restore depth, clarity and gloss, leaving your vehicle with a significantly improved finish.

What's the difference between paint correction and polishing?

A standard polish mainly improves gloss and temporarily hides minor imperfections.

Paint correction permanently removes defects from the clear coat where possible, resulting in a much higher-quality finish.

Can you remove scratches?

We can remove many light scratches that are only in the clear coat.

If a scratch has penetrated through the paint to the primer or metal, repainting may be required.

We'll always advise honestly after inspecting the damage.

Do you work on prestige and performance vehicles?

Yes.

We regularly work on prestige, performance and everyday vehicles, taking great care to achieve the highest possible finish while preserving the manufacturer's paintwork.
