What is PDR? Paintless Dent Removal
PDR is short for paintless dent removal: the fine art of removing dents, dings, creases, hail damage and even larger dents from a car or vehicle, without the need for repainting or refinishing as with traditional body shop repairs.
The Dent Master Wales paintless dent removal process
Paintless dent removal uses the memory of your vehicle's metal or aluminium and highly skilled metalworking techniques. Using specialised hand tools, our highly trained PDR technicians meticulously manipulate your dent to remove it permanently, restoring the dented panel to its original shape.
These techniques don't harm the original paint, because today's modern car paints and thinner-gauge metals are very flexible. Paintless dent removal works from behind the damage, so no sanding, painting or body fillers are involved.
A short history of PDR
During the 1980s, paintless dent removal expanded to the United States, but PDR was very limited in the size of dents that could be removed. From 1990, PDR technicians in the dent removal industry, especially in the UK and South Wales, began to push the art of dent removal to new heights and capabilities, moving from minor door dings and dents to hail damage and many larger dents.
Our paintless dent removal technicians have over 30 years' combined experience, and we have been in business since 1994.

Some reviews from our satisfied customers
Read our reviews on FacebookI defy anyone to spot the repair
Did a repair on my car and came to my house. They were honest before they started that, as it was a machine-cut finish, they could do a repair but not exactly match the finish. Well, I defy anyone to spot the repair. It is an excellent job and I would definitely recommend.
Friendly and fun service
Great work carried out, friendly and fun service from the two gents and good value for money. I would definitely recommend.

Finished to a very high standard
Fantastic job, Carmond! Very happy with the job you did on my car, and just a small fraction of the cost of a full refurb. Honest service, friendly and reasonably priced, finished to a very high standard, and a nice chat while the work was completed. Can't ask for more. Highly recommended.
