Paintless Dent Repair – Simple, Fast, Effective
Whenever you read about hailstorms in the Northeastern US and elsewhere, be assured that many people’s vehicles sustained damage to the body panels and sheet metal, some of it amounting to thousands of dollars. Hail damage often causes small dents or dings which are the right size and type to be repaired using paintless dent repair. Using this type of repair can often give you a pretty significant savings of time, materials, and money when compared with normal repair methods.
Maybe the term “Paintless Dent Repair” (PDR) is a new one to you, but it is simply a way to repair small dents and dings in your car’s body panels without having to repaint them. If the paint at the site of the dent is unbroken, and the dent is fairly small, PDR can normally be used to repair the dent.

A new trend is headed toward fascia plastic fasteners being used. They are perfect because they are corrosion free and will release then they are suppose to. Continued research and changes like this are going to create a need for new types of fasteners. A good example of this is aluminum panels demanding aluminum fasteners. Again another significant way of reducing corrosion meaning a cost reduction because assembly times are faster.
