What PDR removes before an inspection

Not covered by PDR: scratches, paint chips, curb-rashed wheels and plastic bumper damage. We tell you which items on your list are PDR and which need another specialist.
Why not a body shop before a return?
Repainted panels can be detected at inspection and may be noted as prior repair. PDR keeps the factory paint, costs less per dent and is done in hours, at your location. Full comparison: PDR vs body shop.
Cost
Door dings from $80; several dents in one visit are quoted as one job. See pricing.
Lease return questions
What size dent does a lease inspection charge for?
Most leasing companies allow dents up to roughly the size of a credit card or a quarter, with no paint damage, and charge for anything bigger or for several dents on one panel. Check your lease's wear-and-tear guide; every brand publishes one.
Is it cheaper to fix dents before the return?
Usually yes. A lease-end charge for a dented panel is often priced like a body shop repair, several hundred dollars per panel. A PDR door ding starts at $80. Send photos of every dent and compare our quote with your guide's charges.
Will the inspector see that the dent was repaired?
A proper PDR repair leaves no filler and no new paint, so there is nothing for a paint-depth gauge to find. That is the main reason to use PDR instead of a body shop before a return.
How far ahead should I book?
A week or two before the inspection is comfortable. Most lease-return jobs are done in a single visit of 1–4 hours, depending on the number of dents.
Can you fix every dent on the car in one visit?
Usually. Send photos of all the dents; we quote the whole car and schedule enough time to finish on site.
