Frequently Asked Questions
Can small dents be repaired without repainting the panel?
Yes — this is known as paintless dent removal (PDR), and it’s often the preferred option for minor dents where the paint surface is still intact. It’s a fast, cost-effective process that involves gently massaging the dent out from behind the panel using specialised tools. This technique works well for dings caused by hail, shopping trolleys, or car park mishaps. However, PDR isn’t suitable if the panel has deep creases, sharp edges, or cracked paint. A qualified repairer will assess the damage and let you know if PDR is possible or if refinishing is required.
How much does it cost to repair a dent in a car panel?
The cost of dent repair can vary significantly based on size, location, and severity of the damage. Small dents may cost as little as a couple of hundred dollars, especially if paintless repair is possible. Larger dents or those requiring sanding, filling, colour matching and painting can cost more. If the dent has affected panel alignment or structural integrity, that will also impact the final price. For insurance work, the cost is usually covered by your provider (less any excess), but for private jobs, a tailored quote is always the best way to know what to expect.
Is it worth fixing small dents or should I just leave them?
Even small dents can lower the resale value of your vehicle and leave it exposed to rust or further paint damage. While they might seem purely cosmetic, dents can compromise the panel’s protective coating, which allows moisture to seep in and cause corrosion over time. If you’re planning to sell or trade in your vehicle — or simply want it looking its best — repairing dents is a smart investment. Many minor repairs are quicker and more affordable than people expect, especially with modern techniques like PDR.
