Paintless dent repair (PDR) is a technique that removes dents without affecting your vehicle's original factory paint. Our certified technicians use specialized tools to access behind the damaged panel and carefully massage the metal back to its original shape. PDR is faster, more affordable, and preserves your vehicle's original finish and resale value better than traditional body work that requires repainting.

Yes, most comprehensive auto insurance policies cover dent repair, especially for hail damage and collision-related dents. Five Star Auto Body works directly with all major insurance companies including Geico, Progressive, State Farm, Allstate, and USAA. We handle the claims process, documentation, and adjuster communication to make your repair experience hassle-free.

Paintless dent repair works best on dents where the paint surface is intact and the metal hasn't been stretched or creased. It's ideal for door dings, hail damage, and minor dents. If the paint is cracked, chipped, or the dent has sharp creases, traditional body repair with repainting may be necessary. Our technicians will assess your damage and recommend the best repair method during your free estimate.

If a collision dent is deep enough or in a structural area, there may be underlying frame damage that isn't visible from the surface. Our technicians use computerized measuring systems during the initial assessment to check for structural misalignment. If frame damage is detected, Five Star Auto Body provides professional frame repair and straightening services to restore your vehicle's structural geometry to manufacturer specifications before completing the cosmetic dent repair.
