Benefits

Why PDR by GAR Service

💎

Original paint kept

A paint gauge won't detect the repair — coating thickness doesn't change. Important for DEKRA and an «accident-free» sale.

🛡

No loss of manufacturer warranty

PDR doesn't repaint or break the coating — the warranty stays valid. A paint shop usually voids it.

⚙️

Aluminium panels +20%

Audi A8, Range Rover, Porsche, Jaguar — repaired with PDR + induction heating.

📋

We handle the insurer for you

Allianz, Generali, Kooperativa, ČPP, ČSOB, UNIQA, AXA — from claim to payout.

🚐

Car pickup in Prague

A driver picks up your car, we repair it and bring it back. No wasted time, no parking.

🏆

Premium and leased cars

For premium (Audi RS, BMW M, Porsche) as well as leased and in-warranty cars — no compromises.

Honestly

When PDR isn't enough

!

Broken (cracked) paint at the dent — body-shop Step 2/3 takes over.

!

Edge deformations with no access from behind the panel.

!

Carbon-fibre panels (BMW i3/i8, McLaren) — a different technology, outside PDR.

At an in-person inspection we'll tell you straight away whether PDR is enough, or recommend combining it with a thin layer of paint — see body shop.

Mnohokrát děkuji za krásnou a rychlou práci při opravě promáčkliny. Pánové jsou naprosto profesionální, působí v hezkém novém prostředí. Komunikace je jednoduchá, práce kvalitní, nemohu je dost vynachválit. Pánové mě dokonce dovezli na nádraží na vlak, když jsem neměla jak se dostat zpátky do města. Až budu něco dalšího potřebovat, určitě se na GAR Service obrátím.

Jedno slovo: PERFEKTNÍ. Výborná - komunikace, -odhad času/ceny, -odvoz na metro, -odvedená práce. Jeden den v dílně a kufr je beze stop po promáčklině. Velká chvála šikovným rukám. Doporučuji!

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is PDR?

PDR (Paintless Dent Repair) is a technique for repairing dents without painting. With special tools we level the deformation from inside the panel; the original paint stays untouched. A paint gauge won't detect the repair.

How long does a PDR repair take?

A small dent: 30 minutes–2 hours. A larger one: 2–4 hours. After hail (the whole car): 1–3 days. Typically within 24 hours, vs. 5–7 working days at a paint shop.

How much does a PDR repair cost?

It depends on the damage. A small dent from 1,990 CZK, standard 2,950–4,100 CZK, larger 6,000–8,300 CZK, deep 9,740 CZK+. After hail, the whole car roughly 20,000–50,000+ CZK. Send photos for an estimate.

When can PDR not be used?

PDR is not possible with: broken paint, edge deformations with no access from behind, carbon-fibre panels (BMW i3/i8, McLaren), or panels with a previous filler repair.

Do you do PDR on aluminium panels?

Yes. Aluminium (Audi A8, Range Rover, Porsche, Jaguar XJ and others) is repaired with the same method + induction heating. Aluminium panels cost +20% vs. steel. Only carbon fibre is unrepairable.

Does PDR keep the manufacturer warranty?

Yes. PDR doesn't break or repaint the original coating — the manufacturer warranty stays valid. A paint shop typically voids it. A paint gauge won't detect a PDR repair.

Will you help with the insurer?

Yes. We work with Allianz, Generali, Kooperativa, ČPP, ČSOB, UNIQA, AXA. We deal with the insurer for you from claim to payout. Direct billing where possible.

Can you pick up the car?

Yes. Pickup across Prague for 500 CZK (round trip 250 + 250). Our driver collects the car from you, we repair it and bring it back. No wasted time, no parking.

Does a paint gauge detect a PDR repair?

No. PDR applies no paint, so the surface thickness doesn't change. Repainting, on the contrary, adds 80–150 μm — which is detectable. Important during checks (DEKRA, an «accident-free» sale).

Which cars is PDR suitable for?

Best for leased and in-warranty cars (keeps the original paint + warranty). For premium cars (Audi RS, BMW M, Porsche, Range Rover) — care without compromise. Generally for all brands and ages.

What if the paint is already damaged?

Even with broken paint we reshape the panel with PDR close to original — with minimal filler, then it just needs painting. The factory anti-corrosion coating stays intact. A classic panel-beater pulls the metal roughly and a wave shows only under paint; we prep the panel precisely. When the dent is too large or the metal is stretched beyond what PDR can recover, we use classic bodywork — we always pick the best solution.
