What kind of repair
are you looking for?
Here's how we think about it.

Not every dent is the same, and not every customer wants the same outcome. Here's where most people land — and how to know which fits you.

Budget-FocusedResult-Focused
Essential
Time-Limited Repair
A focused 2-hour session dedicated to your vehicle. We put skilled hands on the damage and make meaningful progress. Not perfection — but a visible, worthwhile improvement for a straightforward investment.
This is you if...
  • Budget is the primary decision
  • The car is older or high-mileage
  • You just want it to look noticeably better
  • You're not concerned with angles or lighting
Result LevelNoticeable Improvement
01

Structural Limitation Repair
Used when the damage is severe enough that a flawless result isn't achievable. We bring the panel back significantly — dramatically better than it was, with a clean outcome most people would never notice day-to-day.
This is you if...
  • The dent is deep or complex
  • You understand some damage has limits
  • Dramatically better is good enough
  • You want honest expectations
Result LevelSignificant Recovery
02
Practical
Most Common Choice
The sweet spot. A high-quality repair that looks excellent in normal lighting and from everyday viewing angles. No compromise in craftsmanship — just a smart balance between thoroughness and cost.
This is you if...
  • You want quality at fair value
  • The car matters but isn't a showpiece
  • Looks great in normal conditions
  • You don't need a white-glove finish
Result LevelExcellent — Everyday Ready
03
Premium
The Highest Standard
The panel is refined as close to factory condition as humanly possible. Every angle. Every light condition. For the car enthusiast, the resale-focused owner, or anyone who simply won't accept anything less than exceptional.
This is you if...
  • The vehicle is your pride and joy
  • Resale or trade-in value matters
  • You'd notice it under a dealership light
  • Nothing less than near-perfect will do
