Paintless dent repair and insurance repairs

The next time you have damage to your vehicle and the insurance company says "you need to get an estimate", when you get there, and they have written the estimate, ask them about paintless dent repair. Insurance companies like paintless dent repair and it is a great way to have those smaller dents and door dings fixed with other larger damage.

The turnaround time of a repair using the paintless dent repair method is usually one third of the time than if the vehicle was to be repaired and refinished. this saves the insurance company money in labor, materials, rental car expense, etc. Beyond that, the repair is better for the consumer, the e-coat (protective factory finish under the paint) is not broken and remains in tact, protecting the vehicle from rust, corrosion, etc.
