If your car is dented but the paint hasn't chipped or cracked, you may be able to fix the issue with a process called paintless dent repair. This process pops the dented area back out and smooths the area without having to sand, fill, and repaint it — all parts of traditional dent repair. This approach can be used even on large dents. Here are five benefits you gain by opting for paintless dent repair over the traditional procedure.

The Advantages of Paintless Dent Repair 

1. Fast

Traditional dent repair is a multi-step process which includes waiting for paint to dry, requiring you to spend at least a day without your car. Paintless repairs can be completed in hours, depending on your body shop's schedule.

2. Inexpensive

Because your body shop technician only needs a short time to complete this type of repair and because fewer materials are used, it generally costs less than other options. You'll also save on a car rental because you’ll get your own car back sooner.

3. Environmentally Friendly

Paintless dent repair is the cleanest option for fixing dents because it uses no paint or chemicals that could escape into the air or nearby water sources. It also uses less electricity for power tools than other repair methods.

4. Seamless

Car paint colors can be difficult to match due to fading from the sun. If the paint used on your car is out of production, matching your original shade may be all but impossible. With paintless repair, you'll get to keep your original paint, so there’ll be no discolored area.

5. Permanent

Some car owners worry that once a dent has been "popped out," it will pop right back in just as easily. However, professional repairs completely restore the area, ensuring that the dent won't return.
