A dent is visible from more than one angle
Changing reflections across the panel can show where the metal has moved, even when the damage looks shallow from straight on. An inspection helps identify the full area affected.

Overview
Our technicians inspect the damaged area to determine the best way to repair the dent. Depending on the size, location, and severity of the damage, the repair may involve reshaping the panel, repairing the paint, or replacing the damaged section.
We take care to restore the panel without causing additional damage to the surrounding area. Each repair is based on the condition of the vehicle and the type of damage, ensuring the appropriate repair method is used.
Symptoms
When to call
The paint is cracked or chipped
Paint damage can expose the panel beneath the finish and may require surface repair as part of the dent work. Leaving the damaged area untreated can allow the problem to spread.
A crease runs through the dent
A sharp crease concentrates the damage in a smaller section of the panel. It needs controlled reshaping rather than force applied broadly across the surrounding surface.
The panel no longer lines up
A dent near an edge, door opening, light, or adjoining panel can change the way nearby parts fit. Misaligned gaps or rubbing are reasons to have the area checked.
Our process
How the job goes
-
Inspect the damage
An auto body technician looks at the panel from different angles and checks the dent's depth, edges, finish, and position. The surrounding bodywork is considered before the repair method is selected.
-
Prepare the panel
The damaged area is made accessible and protected from avoidable damage during the repair. Any trim, fittings, or nearby parts that affect access may need to be addressed before reshaping begins.
-
Restore the panel shape
The technician works the metal back toward its original contour using a method suited to the damage. Progress is checked across the panel so the repair does not replace one uneven area with another.
-
Complete the surface work
Once the shape has been restored, the finish and nearby panel fit are checked. If the paint or surface was affected, those repairs are included in the work needed to complete the panel.

Can every dent be repaired without painting?
Not every dent has the same repair requirements. The answer depends on the dent's depth, location, shape, effect on the metal, and condition of the paint. The panel needs to be inspected before that can be determined.
Will the dent be repaired if the paint is damaged?
Paint damage does not automatically prevent dent repair, but it can add surface work to the job. The technician will check the finish and explain what the panel needs after its shape has been assessed.
How long does dent repair take?
Timing depends on the size and location of the dent, the panel's condition, access to the damaged area, and whether paint or other surface work is required. An inspection gives a more useful answer than the dent's appearance alone.
Should I repair a small dent?
A small dent can still affect the panel's contour, paint, or fit with nearby parts. Having it inspected helps identify whether it is limited to appearance or whether the surrounding bodywork has also moved.
