Serving residents of Merrick County and Nassau County for a quarter of a century, New York’s R & U Auto Body performs a range of repairs and offers around-the-clock towing and flatbed services. One of R & U Auto Body’s specific areas of expertise is paintless dent repair (PDR) .
Paintless dent repair is a well-established auto repair industry process that involves the removal of dents from a vehicle’s exterior without damaging that vehicle’s finish. This is a popular dent repair option for shallow, purely cosmetic dents that have left a vehicle’s paint job undisturbed.
Although PDR cannot address deep structural damage, it is very effective when it comes to removing smaller imperfections in exterior surface panels. The process typically involves the use of specialized tools that allow technicians to apply measured and targeted pressure to the backside of each damaged panel. Technicians can also repair dents by securing a tab device to a panel’s exterior and then pulling the dent out from the front side.
