Apex Body Shop technicians have repaired hail damage and parking lot dents for Cleveland drivers for years. We use professional-grade rods and reflective lighting boards to ensure every dent is fully worked out before you leave our shop.
Common Paintless Dent Repair Scenarios
Hail Damage
Cleveland spring and summer hailstorms often leave dozens of small dents across hoods and roofs that PDR resolves efficiently without repainting.
Parking Lot Door Dings
Crowded lots at places like Crocker Park or Tower City leave shallow door dings that paintless repair removes cleanly in under an hour.
Minor Collision Dents
Low-speed fender contacts that have not cracked or creased the paint are ideal candidates for paintless dent repair.
Our Paintless Dent Repair Process
Damage Inspection
We examine every dent using reflective lighting boards to measure depth, width, and location to confirm the panel qualifies for paintless repair.
Panel Access Setup
Technicians remove interior trim, tail lights, or other components as needed to reach the back side of the damaged panel safely.
Metal Reshaping
Using graduated metal rods and body picks, we apply controlled pressure to slowly push the dent back to its original contour from behind.
Final Surface Check
We inspect the repaired area under multiple lighting angles to confirm no remaining high or low spots before returning the vehicle to you.
Paintless Dent Repair - Frequently Asked Questions
PDR works best on dents where the paint has not cracked or the metal has not creased. Deep damage with paint fractures typically requires traditional bodywork and repainting instead.
Most single-panel dents take one to three hours. Hail damage covering an entire vehicle may take one to two full days depending on the number and severity of dents involved.
Most comprehensive auto insurance policies cover hail and storm damage repairs. Apex Body Shop works directly with major insurers and can assist with your claim documentation.
Because the original factory paint is untouched, PDR maintains your vehicle's paint history, which is a significant positive factor for buyers and dealers checking vehicle condition reports.
