Paintless Dent Repair in Colorado Springs - Experts Can Do It Right

Al Serra Paintless Dent Repair and Removal in Colorado Springs
There is nothing worse than going into a body shop to have a small dent, or several small dents, removed and end up paying way more than you should have because you end up having to have a paint job as well.  Small dents from hail damage, shopping carts, other car doors, and light fender benders often can and should be repaired without paint ever being used.  Paintless dent repair is something only experts should attempt, but those who are good at what they do can make a dent disappear and never use a drop of paint.  When it can be done, paintless dent removal is definitely the best option.
   
Most commonly paintless dent removal involves using a serious of rods and body pick to push dents out, but sometimes special glue and tabs may be used to pull the dents out.  If it is pushed or pulled out a little too far, it may be necessary to do some additional tapping to get a smooth finish.  Fluorescent lighting and a reflective surface such as a reflection board is often used in this process.  These aids, called PDR, or Paintless Dent Repair lights and boards, help the technician in locating specific spots that needs fine tuning and allows them to locate tools correctly.  Without them, the technician cannot push or pull the dents out to the correct height and thus cannot attend to the fine detail of the job.

The problem with paintless dent repair is that if the technician is not careful, paint that was not damaged during the initial incident will be damaged in the repair.  This will eliminate the possibility of paintless dent removal and require the automobile's owner to pay more than should have been necessary for the repair job.  The key to avoiding this is finding a body shop with trained experts who specialize in this type of work.
