Dent Removal & PDR

Dent Removal & Paintless Dent Repair in Tampa

If the paint is not cracked, the fastest and cheapest fix is usually no paint at all. Paintless dent repair works the metal back from behind the panel with specialty rods, keeping your original factory finish — which matters more than most people realize when it comes time to sell the car.

Free written estimates

Florida law requires a written estimate over $150. We follow it.

All insurance companies

We deal with the adjuster and the supplement so you do not have to.

Owner-operated

Francisco and Ranyer answer their own phones. No call center.

Se habla español

Start to finish, in Spanish — not a translation line.

What this includes

  • Door dings, hail damage, shopping-cart hits and small creases
  • Original factory paint stays — no filler, no respray, no color-match risk
  • Usually faster and cheaper than a conventional repair
  • If the paint is cracked or the metal is stretched, we will tell you PDR is the wrong call

Free estimate, no appointment. Bring the car to 4922 N 56th St and we will hand you a written estimate the same day. If it is not drivable, call us before it gets towed somewhere you did not choose.

How it works

Six steps, no surprises.

You should know what is happening to your car and what it is going to cost before it happens. That is the whole system.

Call, text or send photos

Snap a few pictures of the damage and text them to Francisco or Ranyer. We will give you a straight read on what you are looking at before you ever drive over.

Free written estimate

Bring the car in. We inspect it, write it up, and hand you a written estimate — Florida law requires one on any repair over $150 and we do not treat that as optional.

We handle the insurance

Give us the claim number and we take it from there — the adjuster, the photos, the supplement when hidden damage shows up. You stop being the middleman.

Teardown & real scope

The car comes apart. Everything the impact touched gets found and documented — because what is behind the bumper is usually worse than what is on it.

Structure, body & paint

Structural pulls to factory measurement, panel work, then base and clear in the booth with the color matched to your actual panel — not just the code.

Quality check & detail

Panel gaps, paint match and systems verified. Then it gets detailed inside and out, because handing back a repaired car covered in dust is not finishing the job.

Rather write it out?

Send the year, make, model and a couple of photos of the damage. We will come back to you with a straight answer.

Common questions

Dent Removal & PDR

No, and any shop that says yes is selling you something. PDR needs intact paint, metal that has not been stretched past its limit, and access to the back of the panel. Sharp creases, cracked paint or dents on a panel edge usually need conventional repair. We will look at it and tell you which one you actually need.

Usually it falls under comprehensive coverage, which typically has its own deductible separate from collision. Bring us the car and we will document the damage properly for the claim.

On a proper PDR repair, no. That is the standard we hold it to — if we can still see it under the shop lights, it is not finished.

Tell us how we did

Two questions, thirty seconds. It goes to Francisco and Ranyer, not a marketing list.
