Whether the result of a runaway grocery cart or a surprise hailstorm, no driver wants to find their vehicle body covered in dents. While some larger dents and scratches likely require a new layer of paint to be fully repaired, in many situations, paintless dent repair can prove to be a less invasive, but equally effective method of restoring your car’s appearance. But as the team at OHS’ Body Shop in Kalispell, MT explains, you can’t go to just anyone for your paintless dent repair.

Paintless dent repair is the perfect solution for minor dents that haven’t scratched your vehicle’s paint. As valuable a service as paintless dent repair can be, not every body shop has the tools and expertise necessary to handle this repair work. Technicians use a set of specialized tools to get behind body panels, fenders, or even inside doors to push at the dent from within. This allows the technicians to quickly get the panel back into shape without the need for painting, sanding, or other time-consuming repair tactics. Quite often, the cost of this procedure is completely covered by insurance.

Understandably, this repair method is not suitable for large dents or scratches that have chipped through your vehicle paint layer. In this case, having the damaged area filled and refinished by a body shop is your best bet to improve your car’s condition. This service is provided by all body shops.

While not every body shop is able to provide both types of dent repair services, the team at OHS’ Body Shop is proud to have the talent and tools needed to provide both options to their customers.
