Paintless Dent Repair Calgary | Hail Damage & Door Ding Repair — PDRPDRCALGARY

Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) is a specialized method of removing minor dents, door dings, and creases from a vehicle without harming the original factory paint. Skilled technicians use custom tools to gently massage the dent out from the back of the panel or use advanced glue-pulling techniques from the front, restoring the metal to its original shape.

Yes for most hail damage — PDR is the insurance industry’s standard for hail repair in Alberta because it preserves factory paint. Very deep dents with cracked paint or stretched metal still need a body shop; we assess that for free.

Usually, yes — comprehensive auto insurance typically covers hail damage, and insurance companies actually prefer the PDR method because it’s faster and maintains the vehicle’s original finish. We work directly with major insurance providers to make the claims process seamless.

Most vehicles are repaired in same-day to 3 days, depending on the number of panels. Calgary hail season runs roughly June through August in one of Canada’s most hail-prone cities, so post-storm slots fill fast — booking immediately gets you in sooner. Full hail restoration starts at $999, is insurance-approved with $0 out of pocket on approved claims, and is backed by a lifetime warranty on repaired dents.

On approved insurance claims, you pay $0 out of pocket for hail repair. We bill your insurer directly and handle the paperwork, so the $999 starting price for full hail restoration is typically covered by your comprehensive coverage. Every repair is backed by a lifetime warranty on repaired dents, and most vehicles are restored in same-day to 3 days.

Minor door dings and small creases can often be repaired in just a few hours—providing same-day service. Extensive hail damage repair can take anywhere from 1 to 3 days depending on the severity and panel accessibility, which is still significantly faster than traditional body shop timelines (which can take weeks).

PDR relies on the paint being intact. If the paint is cracked, chipped, or heavily deeply scratched within the dent, or if the metal is stretched too far (sharp, deep creases), traditional auto body repair and repainting may be required. We provide a free assessment to determine if your damage qualifies for PDR.

We strongly advise against DIY kits. Improper use of plunger-style pullers or improvised tools can overstretch the metal (causing high spots), crack the delicate clear coat, or permanently ruin the panel, leading to much costlier traditional body repairs. Our technicians have years of training to manipulate the metal perfectly.
