How to Choose a Paintless Dent Repair Technician in Perth

Quick answer: pick a technician who looks at your photos first, tells you honestly whether paintless repair suits the dent, gives you a clear price before any work starts, and has done dents like yours before. Then check their reviews and before and after photos.

1. Start With an Honest Appraisal From Photos

A good technician will look at clear photos and tell you straight if the job is not a paintless one.

• Paint cracked or chipped through to the metal: a body shop job.
• Metal stretched, or a section that needs replacing: a body shop job.
• Panel repaired before with heavy filler: usually not a paintless repair.

If someone says yes to every dent without seeing it, be careful. If you are not sure which way your dent falls, here is how PDR vs panel beating compare.

2. Check Their Experience on Dents Like Yours

Small door dings are the easy end. Creases along a body line, dents near the edge of a panel and aluminium panels take more skill. If yours is on a body line, read whether a crease dent can be repaired first. Ask:

• How long have you been doing paintless dent repair?
• Have you fixed this kind of dent, on this kind of panel, before?

3. Ask How They Will Reach the Dent

Paintless repair works the metal out from behind the panel. Some dents sit behind bracing or in tight spots. Ask how they plan to get to yours. The answer tells you a lot about their tools and experience.

4. Get the Price Before Any Work Starts

You should know the price up front. It is normally based on the size of the dent, where it sits on the car and how complex it is. If you have more than one dent, ask whether they quote it as one job. Here is what dent repair costs in Perth.

5. Read Reviews and Look at Real Results

• Read Google reviews from people who had similar damage.
• Look at before and after photos of real jobs, not stock images.

6. Decide if You Want Mobile or Workshop

A mobile technician comes to your home or work, as long as there is suitable access to the car. Ask what they need from you, for example a clean car and a spot where the dent is easy to see.

Questions to Ask Before You Book

• Is my dent suited to paintless repair, or is it a body shop job?
• Have you repaired this kind of dent before?
• What is the price, and is anything extra?
• Will you come to me?
• Can I see before and after photos of similar jobs?
