Paintless dent repair at a glance

Paintless dent repair (PDR) removes dings and dents by working the panel back into shape from behind, without filler or repainting. It suits dents where the paint isn't cracked or chipped. Larger or sharper dents, or damaged paint, need a conventional dent repair and refinish.

Offered at all Fix Auto Collision locations, either in house or through a specialist they work with: Penrose, Mt Wellington, Kingsland, Takanini, Hamilton South, Palmerston North CBD.
