Professional PDR at Fine Shine's Port Melbourne studio — door dings, car park dents and hail damage removed from $150. No repainting, no fillers, factory finish 100% preserved.
Paintless dent removal — PDR — is the most advanced and least invasive method of restoring dented panels to their original shape. Using specialised precision tools, our technician carefully massages the metal back into position from behind the panel, without ever touching the paint surface.
No sanding. No body filler. No repainting. The result is a repair that is genuinely undetectable — because your original factory paint has never been disturbed.
PDR works on door dings, car park dents, hail damage, and most round or shallow dents where the paint remains intact. It is faster, less expensive, and produces a better result than traditional panel repair for eligible dents.
Every dent is assessed individually before work begins. The prices below are starting guides — call Jimmy for a free, accurate quote specific to your vehicle.
Typical car park door ding or small round dent. The most common repair — usually completed within an hour.
Larger car park dents, door edge impacts or shallow panel dents. The most common PDR repair we see at Fine Shine.
Large panel dents, hail damage clusters or deeper impacts. Requires more time and technique — assessed individually before work begins.
