PDR technique

Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) in Dubai

Paintless dent repair uses precise tools placed behind the panel, or glued to its surface, to gently push or pull the metal back into shape — with no sanding, filler or repaint.

Its key advantage is that it preserves the original factory paint, which matters to many owners at resale and to anyone who values paint originality.

Problems we fix

  • Small car park door dings
  • Hail damage on roof and bonnet
  • Soft dents with no cracked paint
  • Light dents on fenders and doors

Who this is for

  • Dents where the paint has not cracked or chipped
  • Owners who want to keep the original factory paint
  • Newer and premium cars with good paint
  • Anyone wanting a less invasive option than conventional repair

How we do it

  1. 01

    Check suitability

    Confirm the paint is intact and the back of the panel can be reached.

  2. 02

    Read with light

    A PDR reflection board maps the exact edges of the dent.

  3. 03

    Push or pull

    The metal is moved with many small, controlled pushes from behind or pulls from the front.

  4. 04

    Finish

    The reflection is checked until the panel reads straight.

How it differs

PDR involves no paint, so it is not suitable for very sharp dents or dents with damaged paint. In those cases we point you to dent repair or body repair instead.

What affects cost and time

  • Number and size of dents
  • Location of the dent and proximity to panel edges
  • Access to the back of the panel
  • Panel material (aluminium needs extra care)

We do not quote fixed prices or timeframes before seeing the damage — send photos for an initial assessment.

Questions about this service

Does PDR work on every dent?

No. It suits dents where the paint is intact and the dent is not too sharp or right on a panel edge.

Does PDR affect the paint?

Done on a suitable dent, it preserves the original paint because there is no sanding or repainting.

Can hail damage be fixed with PDR?

Often yes, depending on the number and size of dents. We need to see the surface to confirm.
