Does your car need denting or a part replacement?

    A simple guide to know when a part can be fixed with denting & painting and when it needs replacement — and how to save money after an accident.

    When can a part be repaired?

    If the damage is a dent or the panel is bent without cracking, it can usually be fixed with denting & painting and look like new — much cheaper than replacing the bumper, fender or door.

    When does it need replacement?

    If a part is cracked or the damage reached sensitive areas like the chassis or front structure, replacement is safer. Broken headlights and glass are replaced, not repaired.

    When does paintless dent repair (PDR) work?

    For small dents where the paint is intact, paintless dent repair (PDR) removes the dent without repainting — cheaper, faster, and it keeps the factory paint.
