FAQs — Paintless Dent Repair & Hail Removal Gold Coast | Valley Dents

Question 1

What is paintless dent repair (PDR)?

Accepted Answer

Paintless dent repair is a highly specialised technique for removing dents from a vehicle's body panels without the need for paint, filler, or body shop work. Using precision rods and tools, a technician massages the metal back to its original shape from behind the panel — preserving your factory paint finish completely.

Question 2

What types of dents can be repaired with PDR?

Accepted Answer

PDR works best on dents where the paint has not been broken or cracked. This includes door dings, shopping trolley dents, minor collision dents, and hail damage. Very sharp creases or dents with paint damage may not be suitable — we'll let you know honestly during your free assessment.

Question 3

Will PDR damage my car's paint?

Accepted Answer

No — that's the whole point of paintless dent repair. The process works entirely without paint, filler, or sanding. Your factory paint finish is preserved, which also helps maintain your vehicle's resale value.

Question 4

How long does a repair take?

Accepted Answer

Most single dents can be repaired in 1–3 hours. Larger jobs involving multiple dents or hail damage may take a full day. We'll give you an accurate time estimate when we assess your vehicle.

Question 5

How much does paintless dent repair cost?

Accepted Answer

Repairs start from $150 depending on the size, depth, and location of the dent. SMS us photos of your dent to 0422 733 105 and we'll give you a fast, obligation-free quote.

Question 6

Can hail damage be fully repaired with PDR?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, yes. PDR is the industry-standard method for hail damage repair and can restore a vehicle to its pre-storm condition without repainting. The extent of repair depends on the severity of the damage — we'll assess your car and be upfront about what's achievable.

Question 7

Is hail damage covered by my insurance?

Accepted Answer

Hail damage is typically covered under comprehensive car insurance. We can provide a detailed quote for your insurer and liaise directly with them on your behalf to make the process as smooth as possible.

Question 8

Do I need to pay an excess for hail repairs?

Accepted Answer

Your standard policy excess will apply — this is set by your insurer, not by us. We'll work with your insurance company directly and keep you informed throughout the process.

Question 9

How long does hail damage repair take?

Accepted Answer

Depending on the extent of the damage, hail repairs typically take 1–5 days. We'll give you a clear timeframe after assessing your vehicle and will keep you updated throughout.
