Our repairers offer a wide range of Dent Removal methods to make sure you're getting the best service without sacrificing on quality. Some Dent Removal can be administered by the method of <a href=\"https://www.dinggo.co.nz/panel-beating-services/paintless-dent-removal\">Paintless Dent Removal (PDR)</a>, saving you time and money. However there are many cases with dents where the metal has creased to the point of nearly cracking (or actually cracking) and therefore <a href=\"https://www.dinggo.co.nz/panel-beating-services/paintless-dent-removal\">PDR</a> cannot be used as painting is also required. Unfortunately, these Dent Removal methods require significantly more labour, products like body fillers, and sometimes even new parts. After this (more extensive) type of Dent Removal is applied, then the repaired <a href=\"https://www.dinggo.co.nz/panel-beating-services/car-panel-repair\">car panel</a> needs to be <a href=\"https://www.dinggo.co.nz/panel-beating-services/car-paint-repairs\">repainted</a> as the final step to restoring the car to its original factory condition.\r\n<br><br>\r\nProviding clear photos of the dent damage close up (and from a distance) helps us to assess the damage and find the best Dent Removal option for you. If it’s applicable, and we can save you money and time, we will send your job to a <a href=\"https://www.dinggo.co.nz/panel-beating-services/paintless-dent-removal\">PDR specialist</a>. If it's not physically possible to be done using the <a href=\"https://www.dinggo.co.nz/panel-beating-services/paintless-dent-removal\">PDR</a> technique we will send your job to our network of Dent Removal workshops for factory finish quality repairs at competitive prices.\r\n<br><br>\r\nLooking for Dent Removal?
