What Is PDR?
Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) is a process that removes minor dents, dings, and hail damage from your vehicle without the use of traditional auto body shop fillers or paints. This type of auto dent repair is often performed on vehicles with both aluminum or steel panels.
PDR is an environmentally friendly repair method that preserves your vehicle’s original paint job. In most situations it is more efficient and cost effective than traditional body shop repairs because of the elimination of bondo, filler, sanding, and repainting!
At our paintless dent repair facility in Copperas Cove, TX, and Hanover, PA, our team of expert technicians are trained in the latest PDR techniques and use only the best tools and materials to repair your vehicle.

How It Works
1.
Step-By-Step Guide
Step-by-step guide:
When a vehicle owner receives hail damage on their car or truck, it’s imperative they file their claim in a timely fashion.
At Smooth Finishes Hail and Dent Team we recognize most people aren’t clear on the steps necessary with regard to an automotive hail claim.
We’ve provided a step by step guide to walk you through the complete hail damage claim and repair process.
A few things of note:
-
- You can cho0se whatever shop you desire.
- Deductibles are your responsibility, but, as an independent repair facility, we can offer assistance.
2.
Initial assessment
Assess the damage:
You have two options at this point:
-
- Take clear pictures of the dent damage on your car.
- Visit a paintless dent repair shop and have professionals inspect the dents.
Evidence of damage is required before processing your claim.
Having a dent repair technician help with initial inspection is recommended.
Damage repair professionals can determine whether the damage can be fixed using paintless dent repair (PDR) or other methods.
3.
File your Claim
File an Insurance Claim:
With an accurate assessment of the hail damage, you can file an insurance claim.
Having a well-documented damage report will help your insurance company process your claim faster.
You will need the following:
-
- Date of loss.
- Vehicle information.
- Policy number.
- Insurance co telephone number.
- Any proof of damage.
(By law, the insurance companies are allowed to ask where you plan on repairing your vehicle, but CAN NOT tell you where to have it repaired.)
4.
Get your estimate
Obtain Repair Estimates:
Once claim has been filed, your insurance company will try to direct your next steps.
Sometimes they want to inspect it themselves, sometimes they will send you to repair shop they have a relationship with.
You are allowed to have your vehicle estimated and or repaired at the shop of your choice.
A damage repair company that specializes in Paintless Dent Repair is specialized and will give you a far more complete estimate of damages.
