Mobile Paintless Dent Repair in Santa Monica

PDR works if: (1) the paint isn't cracked or chipped around the dent, (2) the metal hasn't been stretched (creased dents), (3) the panel is accessible from behind (most door, fender, hood, roof, and quarter panel dents qualify). Your Santa Monica Drivify tech can assess by photo before you book, so you know whether to schedule.

Single small door ding: $85–$165. Medium dent or multiple small: $250–$400. Hail damage or multi-panel: $500+ depending on panel count. Much less than body shop repaint (typically $800–$2,000 per panel).

Done right, no. The factory paint is preserved, the panel returns to shape, and the dent becomes invisible. A skilled tech with proper lighting inspection finishes dents to match the surrounding panel. Poor PDR can leave light "tool marks" — Drivify's Santa Monica techs are rated by past customers; check reviews before booking.

Yes — hail damage is one of PDR's biggest use cases. Multi-panel hail jobs take several hours on-site but cost a fraction of a body shop repaint. If you have comprehensive insurance with hail coverage, we bill insurance directly in most cases.

Single dent: 45 minutes to 2 hours. Medium job (multiple dents): 2–4 hours. Hail repair: 4–8 hours or multi-day depending on severity. Your tech will estimate when they accept the booking.
