What we repair
Auto Dent Repair for Hail, Door Dings, Bumpers and Luxury Vehicles
The shop handles the six services below, plus luxury vehicles and repairs tied to insurance claims. See all dent repair services.
Paintless Dent Repair
Dents of all sizes and shapes, shallow or deep, soft or sharp. If there is access, Juan can most likely repair it.
Door Ding Repair
Parking‑lot dings and shopping cart dents on door panels, repaired without repainting.
Hail Damage Repair
Hail is infrequent in South Florida but real, and clusters of small round dents are often good PDR candidates.
Bumper, Hood and Fender Dents
Bumper dents, plastic or metal, plus dents in the hood and fenders.
Motorcycle Gas Tank Dents
Dents in gas tanks and fenders, repaired without a repaint.
Tesla, EV and Aluminum Panels
Aluminum panels can be repaired, but they take more skill and time than steel. Tesla uses aluminum on many panels.

Proof
Reviews and Photos You Can Check Before You Book
You can check PDR 360’s work before you book. Read Google reviews from our customers, then look through the dent repair before and after photos from finished repairs.
After the repair, the reflections should run straight across the repaired area. Juan can point out anything that remains.
A fair before and after photo uses the same angle and light for both shots. That makes the dent and the result easy to compare.

PDR vs. body shop
How Paintless Repair Compares With a Body Shop
Paintless dent repair keeps your car’s original factory paint, while a body shop repair sands, fills and repaints the damaged panel.
A repainted panel can differ in color or texture from the rest of the car in direct sun. A repaint can also be recorded on a vehicle history report, though no shop can promise what a specific report shows. Avoiding a repaint also helps protect resale value.
PDR does not remove or repaint panels. That usually avoids the sensor recalibration a repaint or panel replacement can trigger on cars with driver-assistance systems (ADAS).
Juan looks at every dent and the paint at the free estimate and explains the options. Read more on when a dent needs body work.
How it works
How Paintless Dent Removal Works, Step by Step
In paintless dent removal, Juan works the dent out from behind the panel with metal rods. Where there is no rear access, glue tabs pull it from the front. An LED line board shows the shape of the dent throughout. Read more on how paintless dent repair works.
Repair time depends on how many dents there are, how deep they sit and whether the panel is steel or aluminum. Juan gives you the timeframe at the inspection.
- Inspect the damage
Juan checks the paint, the size and depth of each dent, and whether it sits near a body line or edge.
- Choose the method
Juan picks rods or glue tabs based on access behind the panel and where the dent sits.
- Read the dent
The LED line board reflects a pattern of lines across the panel. Bends in those lines show where the metal sits high or low.
- Work the metal
Small, controlled pushes bring the metal back toward its original shape, and tap-down tools level any high spots.
- Check the result
Juan rechecks the panel from several angles under the line board before the car goes back to you.
Luxury and exotic
Luxury, Exotic and Classic Cars
We repair luxury and exotic cars with the same paintless method used on every car. Nothing is sanded or repainted, so there is no color match to get right on a high-value finish.
Many of these cars use aluminum on the hood, fenders or doors. Aluminum takes more skill and time to repair than steel, so Juan checks the metal before he starts. Carbon fiber and composite panels cannot be repaired this way.
Sculpted body lines get read on the LED line board, and Juan works only the damaged area. If the car has paint protection film, a wrap or a ceramic coating, say so when you book; Juan plans the repair around it. See luxury and exotic car dent repair.
Insurance
Using Insurance for a Dent Repair
Hail damage is typically a comprehensive claim, which in most policies is not a fault-based claim. Other dents may fall under comprehensive or collision coverage. Whether your claim is covered, and what your deductible is, depends on your policy and how the damage happened.
PDR 360 can prepare an estimate for you to submit to your insurer. You file the claim and talk with the insurer yourself; if you already have a claim number or the adjuster’s estimate, bring them to the appointment.
A claim pays nothing when the repair costs less than your deductible, so compare the free estimate with your deductible before you file. Ask your insurer how your policy handles choosing a repair shop.
