What is Paintless Dent Repair? Paintless dent repair (PDR) has become widely used to repair certain types of dents and dings from vehicles

Paintless Dent Repair is a process of removing small dents without disturbing the paint finish. When successful, it is less costly and less time consuming than conventional methods of auto body repair. It is commonly used to repair damage such as hail dents, dents from baseballs, and door dings. In some cases, the dent can be completely removed. In many cases it can be 90% removed, such that it is only barely noticeable and often very acceptable. In still other cases it is not possible to remove the dent without damaging the paint finish.

Specially fabricated tools and techniques for paintless dent repair have been developed to remove dents from almost any body panel. Skilled technicians remove dents using the specialized tools to push the metal back into its original shape from behind the dent.

PDR is very effective for certain situations:

• The paint has not been broken or cracked
• The dent is not near the edge of a panel
• Parking Lot Dings and Dents
• Hail Damage

Several advantages to using paintless dent repair include:

• No repainting or body filler needed
• Quicker turn around time
• Less expensive than traditional auto body repair
• Eliminates the risk of color matching

Paintless Dent Repair is available from local franchises of national chains, independent shops and some auto body repair shops. The quality of the PDR depends greatly on the skill level of the technician performing the repair.  It is a good idea to have the work done at a reputable shop.  Schaefer Autobody Centers, an independent collision repair shop with six locations in the St. Louis, MO metro area performs paintless dent repair.

Schaefer Autobody Centers originally opened in 1985 at their current location in Webster Groves, Missouri.  Other locations include Crestwood, Ellisville, Fenton, O'Fallon and Creve Coeur, MO.

The Dent $10.99 "This story is pure fiction; it is not about someone I know. It is about that family we have all known at least one time in our lives. That family struggling, scared, alone, abandoned and desperate all or one of the above. It is about that family or person that makes me feel so ashamed when I think how I have complained to God about the slightest discomfort in my life. It is not my purpose to reveal the ending of this story but I will tell you it has a happy ending. This story will touch your heart and stir your emotions. If is doesn't check your pulse. After helping sell children's books for about ten years, I decided to try my hand at writing. It has been such a joy. I couldn't wait to get home in the evening to continue my writing. I could not have written this book without God's help. When you finish reading this book you will want to read it again, and you will tell your friends about it. Begin reading now and enjoy your journey."
