Dent Repair in Irvine
Woodbridge and Portola Springs are two of our busiest Irvine neighborhoods, but we work all over the city. Office buildings are behind a lot of the dents we repair here. Cars sit side by side in office parking lots and garages all day, and door dings add up fast. Irvine Spectrum Center is another big source, with packed lots and parking structures, and so is Costco, where runaway shopping carts leave their share of dents. At home, it is the garage: e-bikes and stored items lean, tip or slide off shelves, and the car parked next to them takes the hit.
As a fully mobile dent repair service, we bring the repair to your home or office in Irvine.
What Paintless Dent Repair Actually Is
Paintless dent repair (PDR) reshapes the metal back to its original form without touching the paint. Depending on where the dent is, we work it out from behind the panel using rods of different shapes, lengths, and tips, pull it from the outside with specialized glue tabs, or use a combination of both. There is no filler, no sanding, and no repainting, so the original finish stays exactly as it left the factory.
A common question is whether dent repair will show up on Carfax. Vehicle history reports are mostly built from insurance claims, and some body shops report repairs as well. Paintless dent repair paid out of pocket leaves the factory paint untouched and usually generates no such record.
What Determines the Cost of Your Repair?
Dent repair starts at $125. From there, the price depends on a few things:
- Size and depth of the dent
- How many dents there are
- Dents on a body line or accent line take more time because the metal is thicker there and has to hold the shape of the line.
- Panel material. Aluminum is harder to work than steel, so aluminum repairs start at $150 for a dime-sized dent or smaller.
- Some repairs require removing and reinstalling interior panels, tail lights, or fender liners to reach the back of the dent.
- Door window glass. Doors with laminated glass take longer than doors with tempered glass. Laminated glass is very fragile and takes more time to work around.
The fastest way to find out what your repair costs is to send us a photo. Text a picture of the damage to (949) 484-9044 along with a wider shot of the panel, and we will get you a free quote back within minutes.
How Long It Takes
Most single dents and door dings take about an hour. Larger creases, multiple dents, or repairs that require removing panels can take longer, and hail damage is scheduled based on how many panels are involved. Because there is no paint and no curing time, you can drive the car as soon as we are finished.
Do Dents Just Pop Out?
Occasionally a shallow dent on a flat panel can be pushed back out, but most dents stretch or crease the metal. Popping it out in one move usually leaves a high spot or a ripple. PDR works the metal back gradually with controlled pressure until the panel is level and the reflection is straight.
Should You Try to Remove a Dent Yourself?
We would advise against it. Plungers, heat guns, dry ice, and hammers can crack the paint, create high spots, or stretch the metal further. Once that happens, a dent that was a straightforward paintless repair can turn into one that needs a body shop. If you are unsure, text us a photo first. It costs nothing to ask.
Do the PDR Kits Sold Online Work?
The glue-pull kits sold online can move a shallow dent, but they rarely finish it. Pulling is only half of the repair. The other half is tapping down the high spots the pull creates, and that takes the right tools and a lot of practice. It is also easy to pull paint off a panel that has been resprayed. We see plenty of dents that got harder to fix after a kit was tried on them.
