There’s no denying that the holiday season requires a great deal of preparation, and ensuring that everything looks its best is a top priority for many. As we run around putting up decorations and wrapping up gifts, there are a few other items that we might need to tend to that we don’t always associate with this time of year. Mainly the vehicles that we drive. There’s a good chance that a few dents and dings will occur in the midst of holiday shopping or bringing food home for that yearly feast. It might happen in the parking lot or at the grocery stores, but sometimes they’re inevitable, no matter what time of year it is. However, there’s a solution.
Paintless dent repair is the best way to remove those unsightly abrasions and get your vehicle back to looking its very best–just in time for the holiday season. But what is it?
In the past, getting dents removed was a lengthy process that required you to be without transportation for several days. Dents were sanded and hammered, and the end result was a hastily laden paint job over the affected area that may or may not match your vehicle’s original color. PDR is a new process altogether. By removing your vehicle’s exterior panels, technicians use special tools to attack the dents from behind. This results in workmanship that doesn’t affect your vehicle’s paint job.
Besides preserving your vehicle’s exterior paint, the process is much quicker than conventional methods, not to mention more environmentally conscious. The process, which once took several days, can now be done in a matter of hours and, sometimes, less than that. Because of the fact that no paint or stripping chemicals are used, PDR also produces much less waste. You’ll also be thrilled to know that PDR allows your vehicle to retain its resale value, as painting your vehicle accelerates the depreciation process.
The holidays are one of the most stressful times of the year, and you already have much on your mind. The last thing you want to worry about is not having access to your vehicle because you had to remove a few annoying dents and abrasions. This is why PDR is the best way to protect your vehicle, not just during the holidays but all year round. Here at Dent Shop in Rapid City, we’ve helped many drivers get their vehicles back to looking their very best. Give us a call at 605-646-5414.
