Bad PDR and Scams

Hole Drilling Policy

One of the biggest signs of a bad PDR job is a ton of drilled holes. Most dents can be accessed without drilling a hole by utilizing the proper tool.  Excessive drilling is most often done by inexperienced or lazy technicians.

 

About Your Dents will only drill a hole if there is no other way to gain access to the dent, and we will ALWAYS check with you before doing so to get approval.  Any hole we drill will be correctly done and properly filled with a rust-proofed and appropriately sized plug.

 

Dent Completion

Another thing you will find with a bad PDR job is that the dent isn’t satisfactorily completed when they are “finished”.  A simple dent that should have been repaired flawlessly will show bends and bumps in the right light.

 

About Your Dents will do a quality repair job every time, repairing every dent to the fullest extent possible.  We generally know in advance how fully repairable a dent will be and will always discuss that with you.  Your satisfaction is guaranteed!

Scams

A common scam surfacing nowadays is a so-called “mobile repair technician” who offers to do  extremely cheap repairs on your car’s body.  They supposedly fix your dents, but actually fill it in with a light grey primer or red glazing putty over a freshly spray-painted body.  When they give it back to you, it looks as if they completed the repair and waxed the car for you.  They claim that the wax will dry off in a few days and need to be polished off, after which you will have a good-as-new car.  In truth, they merely made your easy dent a difficult and frustrating problem for you!
