    Frequently Asked Questions:

    What are scratch dents, and can they be fixed with PDR?
    Scratch dents are small dents with surface scratches, often caused by key marks, shopping trolleys, or low-impact collisions. PDR is effective for repairing the dent if the paint is intact, and minor scratches can often be buffed or polished.
    How long does scratch dent repair take?
    Most scratch dent repairs take 1-2 hours, depending on the size and number of dents. Our mobile service ensures fast, convenient repairs at your location in the Northern Rivers.
    How is PDR different from traditional scratch dent repair?
    Unlike traditional methods that involve sanding, filling, and repainting, PDR is non-invasive, using no paint or fillers for dent repair. This makes it faster, more affordable, and better for preserving your vehicle’s value.
    Can PDR fix scratches as well as dents?
    PDR repairs the dent, while minor scratches can often be buffed or polished. If scratches require painting, we recommend trusted local partners in the Northern Rivers.
