Paintless Dent Removal (PDR) “Pushes” into Minor Collision Repair

[youtube:http://youtube.com/watch?v=5k4R5u-oOu0]

Mobile Paintless Dent Removal (PDR) and minor dent repair is reaching new heights!

For some time now, PDR has been pushing the envelope on just how big and complex a dent can be fixed. PDR is reaching new heights and becoming such a respected craft major insurance companies are considering PDR a first choice if the paint has not been damaged. Here below you will witness a quite large and complex dent repair performed by Dent Time

The limits of paintless dent removal are being “pushed” literally and physically! In fact there actually might be a new nick name, (PCR). Which stands for “Paintless Collision Repair.” We’re joking a little though. The limits of PDR are endless as long as the paint has not been damaged. Although, not any ordinary PDR tech can achieve dents like you just saw. It takes determination, patience and skill to gain successful and consistent results for such complex dents.

Advanced PDR Training is recommended to gain new techniques to speed up one’s learning curve instead of the old trial and error.

Crowns & Pressure Releasing – Paintless Dent Repair PDR Training Removal

Crowns & Highs – Paintless Dent Repair / Removal Training (PDR)

Crown Removal

Crowns and pressure releasing is one of the most important factors to understand and learn about paintless dent repair. It is also the most overlooked lesson during a trainee’s learning experience. Mainly due to not enough time during PDR training.

We show an introduction page from our Basic Line Board Manual regarding crowns. Not a whole lot to show but enough that you can tell what a crown looks like through our eyes and the line reflection. Our PDR training goes into depth about “identification.” If you can’t see it, how are you going to remove a dent completely?

In most cases, PDR techs who are not aware of crowns or simply don’t see them, end up forcing a dent to come out. Unfortunately, that won’t work. Instead the results are either a wave still visible or unwanted push marks. Identifying crowns and releasing pressure creates a smoother and faster repair which eliminates forcing a repair.

You must understand a dent wants to go back to its original shape. You just need to know why, how and where. Moving the board in different angles is one key but the details that are surrounding it is what puts it all together.

Our one-on-one PDR training explains in detail why you are missing what you’re not seeing. If you are already a veteran PDR tech, you may want to purchase the Basic Line Board Manual before taking advanced training? Although again, there is no substitution for personal and one-on-one PDR training.

Our pdr manual is designed to give you more insight which can make all of a world of difference. If you have any questions regarding PDR training or the Line Board Manual, please visit denttime.com

Paintless Dent Repair / Removal PDR – Big Dents


With the gas prices being so high these days, it is no surprise the sheet metal on vehicles are getting thinner and thinner. Obviously it is to help the cars get a better MPG for the consumer. The bad thing is, it doesn’t take much to dent these new vehicles.

An average shopping cart running into your vehicle can cost perhaps $300-$1000 at a body shop, depending where it was hit and the color of your vehicle. The sheet metal is so thin that it stretches more and becomes bigger than if it was thicker gage metal.

Today, paintless dent removal companies are a perfect solution for most of these problems. Although in the past, PDR technicians were limited on the type and size of dents they could perform paintless dent repair on. It is recommended you be cautious who you choose. The skill and experience relies on the individual tech himself.

Big dents take not only experience to remove but lots of patience. Using the right tools and equipped with a light reflection to help them navigate through the repair process is key. Above we use Dent Time as an example of just how big of dents can be achieved. Some can be removed completely and some can’t be removed completely but greatly improved w/out paying costly body shop prices.

Video Dent/Crease Repair – Paintless Dent Removal Training (PDR)

Denttime.com of San Diego paintless dent repair, removes a crease and demonstrates precise tool tip control. You can also visit their blog.


Removing creases can be pretty tricky for the most part. Imagine taking a piece of paper, folding it and then trying to iron the line out.

Performing paintless dent repair with creases take precise tool tip control. We use a special and unique board called the “Lines.” This line board basically is point of reference. It tells us where to push, if the metal is going outward or inward. As you watch the video, be aware the tool is being wedged between the impact beam and the skin of the panel. A very thin tool as you see in the video (whale tail) is used for applying pressure with one side of the blade. Perfect pushes blend the dent into the orange peel. Depending on how deep a crease is, the results vary between 90-100% removal.

If you are planning to have PDR done in the near future and you are not in San Diego, please note, repairs vary depending on the individual experience of your PDR technician. Find a local PDr tech in your area and visit reconexpress.com for a PDR tech near you.
