Bodywork repair without damaging the paint
Door dings from the next car
Classic dents on doors and scuffs from a neighbouring car's door are pushed back out from inside the panel — no filler, no respray. The paint stays original.
Shopping carts and stray objects
A knock from a cart, a gate or a ball at the supermarket car park — exactly the kind of dent on a car the PDR method is ideal for.
No paint damage
PDR applies no new paint. Coating thickness stays the same, a paint-depth gauge won't detect the repair, and the car stays "accident-free".
Done within 24 hours
A small dent takes 30 min–2 h, a larger one 2–4 h. Typically within 24 hours — vs. 5–7 working days at a body shop.
Dent repair — price from 1,500 CZK
A small parking dent starts from 1,500 CZK and most stay within a few thousand. The master gives you the exact price upfront after a look — you pay only for what your car really needs, with no surprises.
Parking damage and vandalism
For dents without broken paint we also help with the insurer. When the insurance company pays for parking-lot damage, see our page on insurance claims.
We return the dent to its original shape
Doors, fender and hood — reshaped from inside
Most parking-lot damage means dents on doors, the fender or the hood — the metal is dented, but the paint is intact. That's exactly where PDR bodywork repair is the fastest and cheapest route. With special tools we push the deformation back from inside the panel and return the part to a shape close to the original, with no filler and no new coat. It works on steel and aluminium (aluminium parts on a BMW, Audi or Mercedes are roughly 20% more expensive).
Bodywork repair without damaging the paint — and why it matters
Bodywork repair without damaging the paint means the car keeps its original factory coat. That's crucial when selling ("accident-free"), for leasing, and for the manufacturer's warranty, which a respray typically voids. A paint-depth gauge spots a resprayed part — it adds 80–150 μm. After PDR the value stays unchanged, because nobody touched the paint.
PDR dent repair — price from 1,500 CZK
The dent repair price always reflects the actual damage — and that's what makes it fair: you don't pay a flat fee, but exactly for the scope of the repair. A small parking dent starts from 1,500 CZK and most stay within a few thousand. Even for a bigger or harder-to-reach dent, the PDR price stays well below a paint shop — and it keeps the original paint and the car's value. You always see the price first: send photos, the master confirms it after a look, and you decide at your own pace. Aluminium panels carry a +20% surcharge over steel.
Parking dent vs. door dent
A typical parking dent happens when a neighbouring car's door taps yours or a runaway shopping cart hits it. Doors are an ideal panel for PDR — a large flat surface with good access from inside. Whether it's a single dent or several door dents at once, we reshape them with the PDR method, with no filler and no respray. The original paint stays untouched.
Parking damage and vandalism
Parking damage with no witness and deliberate vandalism (a kick, a knock, a dent from a stranger's hand) are among the most common cases customers bring to us in Prague. As long as the paint isn't broken, we handle them with PDR. If the insurance company covers the parking-lot damage, we settle the insurance claim for you and point you to our page on the insurer and insurance claims.
When PDR isn't enough, we say so honestly
Not every case of car damage after parking is right for PDR. If the paint is punctured, the metal is stretched over an edge, or it's deeper vandalism, we recommend our paint shop and body shop — all under one roof since 1998. But we always try bodywork repair without damaging the paint first: fewer interventions, lower cost, a faster return of your car.
