At Courtney Hollingsworth Auto Body, we offer both traditional collision repair and paintless dent repair (PDR), but you might be wondering which option is best for your vehicle. Let’s break down the differences so you can make an informed decision.
Traditional Collision Repair:
This method is typically used for more extensive damage. It involves sanding, filling, and repainting the affected area. If your car has large dents, broken panels, or structural damage, collision repair is necessary to restore your vehicle’s appearance and safety. While it may take more time and be more expensive, this method ensures that your car is properly restored, both in appearance and function.
Paintless Dent Repair (PDR):
Paintless dent repair is a quicker, more cost-effective option for smaller, non-structural dents. It involves reshaping the metal using specialized tools without affecting your car’s original paint. PDR is ideal for dents from hail damage, door dings, or small impacts, and it works especially well on aluminum bodies. Not only does this method have a faster turnaround time, but it’s also eco-friendly and produces seamless results, keeping your car’s original finish intact.
Both methods have their place depending on the extent of the damage, and we want you to have all the information you need to choose the right option for your vehicle. Contact us today to discuss your repair needs!
