Why Go For PDR For Hail Damage Repair?

Why Go For PDR For Hail Damage Repair?

<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">As vehicle owners have learned the hard way&comma; a thunderstorm can drop ice chunks of varying sizes known as hail instead of rain as it sweeps through a region&period; Depending on its size&comma; a hailstone can hit a vehicle with such force that it stretches the paint and metal to the point that it leaves behind dents ranging between as small as a pea&comma; marble&comma; dime or nickel and as large as a quarter&comma; fifty-cent piece&comma; tennis ball&comma; baseball&comma; coconut or even a basketball&period; When the paint inside or around the dent shows no sign of scratches or cracks&comma; the best method to correct the damage is Paintless Dent Repair&period; PDR&comma; also known as paintless dent removal&comma; is a repair technique that involves an experienced technician gently coaxing the surface of an aluminum or steel vehicle panel back into its original factory-finished position using precise tools designed for this purpose&period; PDR is the best choice for vehicle hail damage for the following four reasons&colon;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<h3 style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;"><strong>Value&colon;<&sol;strong><&sol;h3>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">Paintless Dent Repair costs far less than filling and repainting a hailstone dent or replacing an entire vehicle panel and then color-matching the surface&period; Even if some scratches or cracks in the paint exist and paint repair is necessary&comma; any reduction in the size of the dent using a PDR tool can reduce the amount of filler and paint needed to make the repair and the associated labor hours&period; In terms of long-term value though&comma; retaining the original&comma; higher-quality manufacturer&&num;8217&semi;s paint maintains the value of the vehicle at a higher level than when a technician must use filler and paint to fix hail damage&period; In fact&comma; paintless repair prevents future costly repairs that can sometimes occur as the result of bad fill and color-match jobs&period; After the completion of PDR services&comma; you also don&&num;8217&semi;t have to worry about normal vehicle wear and tear causing metal or paint buckling or re-indentation&period; Additionally&comma; this type of service doesn&&num;8217&semi;t usually impact your vehicle&&num;8217&semi;s warranty or increase insurance premiums&period; Insurers actually prefer PDR because it has an associated low-risk for follow-up repairs and costs them less money&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<h3 style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;"><strong>Control&colon;<&sol;strong><&sol;h3>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">Many vehicle owners have seen late-night infomercials or online ads and blog posts with product links that promote do-it-yourself dent repair tools and kits&period; The problem with D-I-Y repair is that either the tools cause scratches&comma; cracks or messy surface ripples by popping a dent out too fast and overstretching the metal or paint or the vehicle owner doesn&&num;8217&semi;t have the physical control or experience necessary to handle the tool correctly&period; A professional who has the right tools and hands-on experience can re-position the metal and paint through a series of gentle pushes or pulls without causing overstretching&period; Since many body panels aren&&num;8217&semi;t entirely open for easy access&comma; a professional also has special tools and knowledge that allows them to access almost effortlessly areas under panels that do-it-yourself vehicle owners would consider extremely hard-to-reach spaces&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<h3 style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;"><strong>Convenience&colon;<&sol;strong><&sol;h3>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">Unless you have experience with performing these types of auto body repairs&comma; a PDR expert can do the job cheaper&comma; faster and more accurately than you could if you were to go the D-I-Y route&period; Paintless dent removal is also far easier than other alternatives&period; As a result&comma; you don&&num;8217&semi;t have to wait long for completion of the repairs&period; The repair process often only takes a few hours or a day&period; You may have heard that PDR repairs can take several weeks&period; Depending on how your insurer responds&comma; it can take several weeks for a technician to start the repairs but only because your insurer might require that their own adjuster review the damage and provide an estimate&period; This process can take several weeks depending on the adjuster&&num;8217&semi;s schedule and estimate negotiations&period; Of course&comma; many PDR professionals have rental or even free loaner cars available for their customers to use while they wait&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<h3 style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;"><strong>Safety&colon;<&sol;strong><&sol;h3>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">Lastly&comma; PDR is a safer hailstone dent repair service than filling and repainting or combined full panel replacement and painting&period; Every time body shop technicians use to fill and paint supplies&comma; they risk the health and safety of themselves&comma; any customers nearby and the environment&period; The supplies and their byproducts&comma; such as particles from sanding&comma; contain toxic chemicals that can irritate or damage the eyes and lungs or even cause cancer in humans&period; These chemicals can also pollute the air&comma; water and ground during use and waste disposal&period; Technicians always take precautions&comma; but accidents can happen&period; They also can&&num;8217&semi;t control what happens to the waste after it leaves their shops&period; On the other hand&comma; true PDR carries none of these risks&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;
