Frequently Asked Questions about PDR
Is Paintless Dent Removal new Technology?
No, PDR has been around for as long as cars have been made. It can be traced back to the early 40’s in the Mercedes plants. From there it traveled to Argentina. In the US there have been PDR companies since the early 80’s. What you see on TV is not reality. PDR Technicians don’t use suction cups, dry ice or glue pullers. There is no smoke and mirrors; it is specially trained technicians working painstakingly on massaging the metal from behind the dent.
