It’s quick, affordable, and keeps your factory paint intact.

What Is Paintless Dent Removal?
Paintless Dent Removal (PDR) is a specialized method used to repair dents, dings, and hail damage without repainting or altering the factory finish of your vehicle. Using precision tools, our technicians gently massage the metal back into place from behind the panel or, in some cases, use glue-pull techniques from the front to lift the dent out.
This process preserves your car’s original paint, making it ideal for maintaining the appearance and value of your vehicle. Because it doesn’t require sanding or repainting, it’s also much faster and more cost-effective than traditional body repair methods.
Whether it’s a small door ding or extensive hail damage, our team has the experience and tools to make your vehicle look like it never happened.
Why Paintless Dent Repair Is the Smart Choice
If you’ve ever had a minor dent repaired the traditional way, you know how time-consuming and expensive it can be. PDR eliminates the need for those extra stepsL no filler, no repainting, no color-matching issues. Just clean, precise repair work.
Here’s why so many Seneca drivers choose our paintless dent removal services:
- Preserves your vehicle’s factory paint: No repainting or blending required.
- Cost-effective: Often less expensive than traditional bodywork.
- Faster turnaround: Many PDR repairs can be done the same day.
- Environmentally friendly: No paint, primer, or chemicals are used.
- Maintains resale value: Your car’s original finish stays intact, which helps preserve its worth.
In Northeast Kansas, where hailstorms can strike unexpectedly in the spring and summer, PDR is especially popular for repairing hail dents quickly and effectively without compromising your car’s appearance.

Our Paintless Dent Removal Process
At Dave’s Body Shop, we treat every repair as if it were our own vehicle. Our technicians are trained in precision techniques that deliver outstanding results while maintaining your vehicle’s original look.
Step 1:
Assessment
We start by carefully inspecting the damaged area to determine if paintless dent repair is the right option. PDR works best on panels where the paint is intact and the metal isn’t severely stretched or creased.
Step 2:
Access and Preparation
Once we confirm your dent qualifies for PDR, we access the backside of the panel. This may involve removing trim pieces, tail lights, or inner panels to reach the affected area safely.
Step 3:
Dent Removal
Using a combination of specialized rods, picks, and glue-pull systems, we gently push or pull the metal back into its original shape. This process requires patience and precision to ensure a smooth, even surface.
Step 4:
Final Inspection
After the dent is removed, we inspect the area closely under special lighting to ensure the repair is flawless and the surface matches the surrounding finish.
Mobile and In-Shop Service Options
We understand that not everyone can make it into the shop right away, especially after a hailstorm or during a busy week. That’s why we offer both in-shop and mobile paintless dent repair services for customers in Seneca and the surrounding areas.
If your schedule doesn’t allow for a visit to our shop, we can come to your home, farm, or business to perform repairs on-site when possible. Our goal is to make the process as convenient and stress-free as possible.
