A Body Shop Alternative in Jacksonville, FL That Keeps Your Paint

Dent repair without painting works because car paint flexes more than most people expect. Factory paint is built to bend slightly with the metal under it. When the metal is moved back slowly, the paint moves with it and stays whole.

That is why the condition of the paint is the first thing we look at. If the paint over a dent is unbroken, there is a good chance the dent can come out with no paint dent repair at all. If the paint is cracked, chipped or flaking, paintless repair cannot fix the finish, and that spot needs paint work.

The method works on steel and aluminum panels, on cars, trucks and SUVs of any make or model. DentPro Solutions has used it across Northeast Florida since 2013, on everything from small door dings to wide, deep dents. Because nothing is sanded, filled or painted, there is no color to match and no fresh paint that might fade at a different rate from the rest of the car.

Paintless repair is the better choice when the paint is intact, the metal has not stretched too far and the technician can reach the dent from behind or pull it from the front. That covers most door dings, many larger dents and most hail damage.

A body shop is the right call when the paint is cracked or chipped, when the metal is torn or badly stretched, or when a panel is damaged beyond reshaping. Collision damage that bent the frame or broke parts also belongs at a body shop. In those cases, we tell you so plainly.

Sometimes the answer is both. A car might have one panel with broken paint and several dents with intact paint. The intact dents can be repaired without paint, which leaves less for the body shop to repaint. Send photos of each area and we will tell you which approach fits each one.
