Dents happen more often than people expect. From door knocks to minor collisions, dents can lower the value of your car.

In Rochdale, we commonly perform two types of dent repair:

1. Paintless Dent Removal (PDR)

Best for:

  • Small dents

  • No paint damage

  • No cracked lacquer

Benefits:

  • Faster repair

  • Lower cost

  • Original paint preserved

Typical cost: £200–£500

2. Traditional Dent Repair

Needed when:

  • Paint is damaged

  • Panel is creased

  • Metal is stretched

This involves:

  • Filling

  • Sanding

  • Repainting

  • Blending

Typical cost: £400–£800

If you're unsure which repair your vehicle needs, send us photos and we’ll advise honestly.
