Answer: If you're wondering whether paintless dent repair is the right choice for fixing your car, think about small dents—maybe even smaller ones. This method fixes only the metal panels (and sometimes plastic) of your car. Little dents from things like other cars' doors, shopping carts, or accidents in parking lots are common causes of these minor damages.

For paintless dent repair to work, the paint shouldn't be damaged, and there shouldn't be any tears in the part that needs fixing. Sometimes, even big dents without major creases can be fixed with paintless dent repair.

Answer: Mobile dent repair has two main ways to fix dents. The first, which is more common, is getting behind the dent and using a special rod to push out any low spots. Technicians use this method whenever they can reach behind the dent. If they can't, they use a technique called glue-pull repair.

They heat up the metal, then use special glue and tools to pull out the dent from the outside. It takes pushing and pulling from different angles to get it just right.
