THE PAINTLESS PROS
experts in dings, small dents, and hail damage repair
Dent Viking is the area's leader in the Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) process.
Paintless Dent Repair is much different than traditional dent repair. A skilled technician uses special tools to push, stretch, and blend on the front and backside of the damaged panel.
By using unique lighting the technician can see the very small areas of moved metal and the process is accomplished by very small calculated manipulations of the material.
Slowly the metal takes its original shape and the end result is that the panel is restored to pre-damage condition.
Does it work for all damage? Unfortunately, no. Contact Dent Viking to qualify your dent today!

FAQ
WHAT IS PDR?
PDR is an acronym for “Paintless Dent Repair”. PDR is the repairing of door dings, minor dents and hail damage without the need to sand, grind, fill and paint the damaged panel. Instead a PDR tech uses special tools to reshape the panel in a slow and methodical way, maintaining the integrity of the paint finish.
What is the average cost for PDR?
There are a variety of factors that go into pricing out a repair. Type of metal, location of dent, size and depth of damage, etc. But on average door dings start at $100 a panel and go up from there. Most of our repairs land between $250-450. Hail damage repair is often in the multiple thousands of dollars and is almost always insurance claim worthy.
What are your hours of operation?
Since moving my business onto my own private property, Dent Viking is now “By Appointment Only”. In other words, you just need to send me a message to confirm that I am available before you stop by. Typically I can schedule you for an estimate or repair M-F 9-5 and sometimes on Saturdays.
Are you a mobile service?
As of today I do “most” all my work inside my dent shop on my private property.
