Door Ding and Dent Repair

A door ding is a small dent, usually on a door, fender, or quarter panel, most often caused by another car door or a shopping cart in a parking lot. Dean's Paintless Dent Repair removes door dings without paint or filler. Most dings are fixed in under an hour at the Ashville shop or at your location.

What Causes Door Dings?

Other car doors in tight parking spots. Shopping carts. Kids' bikes. Garage walls. Mirror-to-door bumps. They're small, but they catch the light every time you walk up to your car.

How Dean Fixes a Door Ding

He removes the inside door panel or uses a factory access hole, then slides a PDR rod behind the dent. Using a light board, he pushes the metal back out a little at a time until the reflection is straight. No drilling. No paint.

Can Every Door Ding Be Fixed?

Most can. Dings with cracked or chipped paint, or dings right on the very edge of the door, may not be. Send a photo and Dean will tell you.

How Much Does Door Ding Repair Cost?

Door dings are usually the most affordable PDR job. Price goes up with size, depth, and if the ding sits on a body line. Text 2–3 photos to (814) 656-8442 for an exact price.

Why Fix a Small Ding?

It protects resale and trade-in value, it keeps you from lease turn-in charges, and it's cheap to fix now compared to a panel that later gets repainted.
