Most dents, an hour or two · Mobile to you

Rental Car Dent Repair Before You Return It.

You have days, not weeks. Perfect is not the goal here and we will not sell it to you.

Paintless dent repair, or PDR, needs no paint and no drying time, which is the entire reason this works on a deadline. Most everyday dents are finished in an hour or two, at your hotel, your office or wherever the car is sitting. Text two photos and you will know within minutes whether the timing works.

The Short Answer

Do Not Pay for Perfect on a Car You Are Handing Back.

Nobody at a rental counter is reading the panel under a light board. They are walking around the car looking for something obvious. The goal is that there is nothing obvious to find, and that is a Practical paintless dent repair, not a Premium one.

We will quote you the top standard if you ask for it, and on your own car we often recommend it. On a rental going back in two days it is money you do not get back. We would rather tell you that and do the sensible version.

How Fast, Honestly

Paintless Dent Repair Is Rarely the Constraint. The Route Is.

Send the photos early in the day. The honest limit is not how long the repair takes, it is whether a technician near you has a slot before you have to hand the keys back.

Rough It Out

What Is This Likely to Cost?

Set the size, where it sits, and the metal. A rental repair usually lands at the lower end of whatever this shows, because Practical is almost always the right call. Photos get you the real number in minutes.

Answered

Rental Car Dent Repair, Answered.

I dented a rental car. Can you fix it before I return it?

Usually yes, and often the same day. Paintless dent repair needs no paint and no drying time, so a door ding is typically an hour or two and you drive away with it done. Text two photos and we will tell you straight away whether the timing works.

How fast can a dent on a rental be repaired?

Most everyday dents are finished in an hour or two, and we come to you anywhere in San Diego County at no extra charge. The constraint is almost never the repair. It is finding a slot on the route, which is why the photo should come first and early in the day.

Does it need to be a perfect repair on a rental?

Almost never, and we will say so. Nobody at a rental counter is reading the panel under a light board. The goal is that the damage is gone as far as a normal walk-around is concerned, which is a Practical repair, not a Premium one. Paying for the top standard on a car you are handing back in two days is money you do not get back.

Is repairing it cheaper than letting the rental company handle it?

Often, but we are not going to pretend we know your agreement. What we can tell you is our number, in minutes, from two photos. Compare it against what your rental company or your card cover would charge you and decide from there. If ours is not the better answer we will tell you.

Will the repair be noticeable at the counter?

Done properly, no. The factory paint is untouched, nothing is filled and nothing is repainted, so there is no colour difference and no fresh paint to spot. A repainted panel is the thing that gets noticed, which is exactly why we do not repaint.

Can you come to the airport or my hotel?

We come to homes, offices and hotels across San Diego County. Airport property itself depends on the location and access, so send the photos with where the car is and we will tell you honestly whether we can reach it in time.

Handing back a lease rather than a rental? That is a different job with a written standard and an inspector, and it has its own page: lease return dent repair. Pricing by panel is on the cost page.
