Meet Your PDR Experts

At Dents Direct, our passion for perfection is driven by our lead technician and owner, Neels Nortjé, who brings over 25 years of automotive expertise to every repair. Starting his career as a skilled panel beater and spray painter in Melbourne, Neels honed his craft before mastering advanced Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) techniques in the USA.
After running a thriving PDR business in Melbourne for over a decade, he relocated to Ballina, bringing his world-class skills to the Northern Rivers community. Our team specialises in repairing dents, dings, and hail damage using the innovative PDR method. This technique allows us to meticulously reshape your vehicle’s panels back to their original form without damaging the factory paint. No repainting or full panel replacements are needed, meaning most repairs are completed in just 1-2 hours, saving you both time and money. Our commitment to quality ensures your vehicle’s factory finish is preserved, maintaining its resale value and showroom shine.
At Dents Direct, we take pride in delivering flawless results, backed by a lifetime guarantee. Our mobile service brings expertise to your doorstep, ensuring convenience and satisfaction every time. Ready to restore your car’s pristine look? Book your free quote today.
