Why UTC Residents Choose PDR

For most dents UTC drivers encounter — door dings in parking lots, shopping cart hits, minor impacts — paintless dent repair is the smarter choice. It costs roughly one-third what a body shop charges, takes hours instead of days, and keeps your original factory paint completely untouched. PDR leaves no Carfax record and preserves your vehicle’s resale value.

Common Dent Causes in UTC

Westfield UTC’s massive parking structure handles thousands of cars daily and is the number-one source of door dings in the area. The surrounding tech and biotech office parks along Towne Centre Drive add daily parking lot damage.

How Paintless Dent Repair Works

Paintless dent repair uses specialized tools to work the metal back to its original shape from behind the panel — no sanding, no filler, no repainting. A trained technician accesses the dent through existing openings and uses precision pressure and high-intensity lighting to restore the surface to factory condition. The result is invisible, because the original paint was never disturbed.
