Paintless Dent Removal in St. Louis, MO

Say Goodbye to Dents — Without a Drop of Paint

Small dents and dings happen — whether it’s a runaway shopping cart in the grocery store parking lot, a minor bump from another vehicle, or a hailstorm that swept through town. While these imperfections might not affect your car’s drivability, they can seriously impact its appearance and resale value.

At Shur-Way Auto Body, we offer Paintless Dent Removal (PDR) to fix minor body damage without sanding, filler, or repainting. It’s a fast, cost-effective, and eco-friendly way to restore your vehicle’s smooth finish — and you might not even need to file an insurance claim.

FAQs

What Is Paintless Dent Removal?

Paintless Dent Removal is a specialized process that allows trained technicians to massage dents out from behind the panel, without disturbing the original paint. This technique preserves the factory finish, eliminates the need for color matching, and avoids traditional bodywork that can take days or even weeks to complete.

It’s ideal for:

  • Hail damage

  • Door dings

  • Shopping cart dents

  • Minor body creases

  • Low-speed bump damage

Not every dent qualifies for PDR, but when it does, it’s one of the most effective and least invasive repair options available.

Why Choose Paintless Dent Removal?

Paintless dent removal is more than just a quick fix. It’s a precision technique that delivers impressive results while offering several key advantages over conventional body repair:

  • Cost-Effective: Because it doesn’t require paint or replacement panels, PDR is often significantly cheaper than traditional bodywork.

  • Fast Turnaround: Many PDR jobs can be completed in just a few hours, depending on the size and number of dents.

  • Maintains Factory Finish: No paint blending, no color matching — your original finish stays intact.

  • Environmentally Friendly: No chemicals, fillers, or excess paint means less waste and a greener repair process.

  • Preserves Vehicle Value: Keeping your original finish intact helps maintain your car’s resale value and overall integrity.

How Does the PDR Process Work?

Our skilled technicians at Shur-Way Auto Body follow a careful, multi-step process to ensure a flawless result:

  1. Assessment
     We inspect the dent to ensure the paint hasn’t cracked and that the panel is accessible from behind.

  2. Access the Panel
     Using specialized tools, we carefully access the dent from the backside of the panel — often by removing interior panels or trim.

  3. Precision Repair
     We gently apply pressure to the backside of the dent, gradually working the metal back into its original shape.

  4. Final Inspection
     Once the dent is removed, we perform a final inspection under specialized lighting to ensure a smooth, undetectable finish.

Not Sure If PDR Is Right for You?

Paintless Dent Repair is ideal for minor damage where the paint is still intact, but deeper dents or cracked paint may require a different repair approach.
