SERVICE 04 · PAINTLESS DENT REMOVAL
Paintless Dent Repair in New York's Capital Region
Dings and hail damage without disturbing the paint.
THE WORK
Paintless dent removal at Eastern Collision Group.
Paintless dent repair works the metal back to its original shape from behind the panel, using specialized rods and gradual pressure instead of filler and paint. When the dent qualifies, it is the better repair: your factory finish stays untouched, which is worth real money at trade-in time, and the job is usually finished the same day.
PDR suits door dings from parking lots, shopping-cart dents, shallow creases and hail damage. It stops being an option when the paint is cracked or chipped, when the metal has been stretched too far, or when the dent sits on a sharp body line or an edge the tools cannot reach behind. We will tell you which category yours falls into before you commit.
Hail runs through the Capital Region most summers, and a car with dozens of small dents is exactly the case PDR was built for — a conventional repair would mean refinishing most of the roof, hood and deck lid.

FAQ
Questions we get about paintless dent removal.
- When is paintless dent repair not an option?
- If the paint is cracked, chipped or already flaking, if the metal has been stretched past the point where it will return, or if the dent sits on a sharp body line or somewhere the tools cannot reach from behind. In those cases conventional bodywork and refinishing is the honest answer.
- Is paintless dent repair cheaper than conventional bodywork?
- Usually, yes — there is no filler, primer, color matching or booth time involved, and most single dents are done the same day.
- Does insurance cover hail damage?
- Comprehensive coverage generally does, and hail claims typically do not count against you the way an at-fault collision would. We can document the damage panel by panel for your carrier.
