Paintless Dent Repair (PDR), also known as “Paintless Dent Removal”, is the skilled art of eliminating minor dings, dents, and creases from a vehicle, all while maintaining the integrity of the factory or custom paint finish.

These small dents are typically a result of hail, falling branches, door dings, and other small objects impacting a body panel.

With the hail storms that have moved through Des Moines recently, now is an excellent time to bring your car in to get inspected for hail damage. Our inspection is free and we have the knowledge and experience to work directly with your insurance company if you decide to file a claim.

We begin with an assessment of your vehicle’s dents. We inspect the damage’s size, location, and severity to determine how much work is required. Upon inspection, we’ll provide a written estimate or advise if another repair process is more appropriate.

Advantages of Paintless Dent Removal

Dents and dings are an unfortunate reality for car owners. Whether caused by a stray shopping cart, minor collisions, or hailstorms, they can disrupt the smooth lines of your vehicle. Traditional dent repair often involves filling, sanding, and painting, which can be time-consuming and may not always match your car’s original finish. This is where Paintless Dirt Removal comes in:

PDR techniques are efficient. Without the need for painting or drying time, repairs are completed more quickly, saving you both time and money.

Recognized by many insurance companies, our services cover not just PDR but all types of car damages, ensuring efficient claims processing.

PDR ensures your vehicle maintains its authentic paint job, which means you get a consistent color and a finish that looks as pristine as the day you purchased your car.

With the precision of our expert technicians and advanced tools, after a PDR service, it’s almost impossible to spot where the dent originally was.

A car with its original paint job and without visible dents is more appealing to potential buyers. PDR can enhance the overall appearance and, in turn, boost its resale value.

Scotty’s did a AMAZING job repainting my tri color pearl white car. It wasn’t just any regular paint job. I drove off with my car shining bright like diamonds when the sun hit it…. THAT made me forget all about the fact someone t-boned me weeks prior. Thanks for the awesome paint job & ALWAYS being there when I need you. And the front desk ladies at BOTH locations are SUPER nice & knowledgeable. Bad experience turned good. Thanks!!
