PAINTLESS DENT REPAIR.
Non-Invasive Metal Restoration

PAINTLESS DENT REPAIR.
PRESERVE YOUR FACTORY PAINT.

Why repaint when you can massage the metal back to perfection? Our master PDR technicians remove minor collision dents, parking lot dings, and storm hail damage in hours.

The Science of PDR

PRECISION CRAFTSMANSHIP WITHOUT REPAINTING

Paintless Dent Repair is a highly specialized mechanical process that manipulates vehicle body panels from behind using specialized surgical-grade rods and LED line board reflections to restore original sheet metal curvature.

Preserves Factory Clearcoat

No fillers, sanding, or aftermarket repainting. Maintains original factory anti-corrosion e-coat and lifetime paint warranty.

Same-Day Turnaround

Most single-panel dents and door dings are repaired in 2 to 4 hours rather than days at conventional body shops.

Fraction of Conventional Bodywork Cost

Saves 50% to 70% compared to body filler, primer, basecoat blending, and clearcoat bake booth cycles.

Advanced Techniques

HAIL DAMAGE & SHARP BODY LINE CREASES

Modern automotive sheet metals (high-strength steel and temper-treated aluminum) possess an inherent elastic memory. We leverage specialized leverage fulcrums and controlled glue-pulling systems to reset stretched metal without paint cracking.

Comprehensive Hail Storm Repair

Capable of removing hundreds of micro-dents across aluminum hoods, roof rails, and trunk lids without interior headliner damage.

Sharp Body Line Manipulation

Restores crisp body character lines and complex swage lines that other shops claim require complete panel replacement.

Protects Vehicle Resale Value

Avoids paint thickness discrepancies on Carfax appraisals, ensuring maximum valuation during trade-ins or lease returns.

HAIL DAMAGE & SHARP BODY LINE CREASES

Optical line board analyzing micro-distortions under specialized high-CRI lighting.

Our 4-Stage Workflow

THE NORTHSTAR PDR WORKFLOW

Every vehicle undergoes a detailed structural appraisal under high-frequency LED line boards to determine metal stretch limits and access cavity pathways.

1. Optical Surface Mapping

LED array inspection to determine dent depth, metal grain stress points, and paint flex limits.

2. Non-Invasive Internal Access

Accessing inner skin through window seals, grommets, or gentle tail light removal without drilling new holes.

3. Micro-Push & Cold Glue Pulling

Sub-millimeter metal massages combined with heat induction to release localized panel tension.

4. Final Polishing & UV Inspection

Micro-polishing to remove minor surface transfer and multi-angle reflection verification.

Q&A

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers regarding auto collision, insurance claims, paint matching, and warranties in Quebec.

01. Can all dents be repaired with PDR?

PDR is ideal for dents where the paint is intact (not cracked or deeply gouged) and the metal has not been severely over-stretched. Dents on plastic bumpers or aluminum panels can also be repaired if metal elasticity allows. If paint is cracked, conventional refinishing is recommended.

02. Will the dent ever pop back out over time?

No. Once metal memory is restored and localized surface tension is released through proper PDR technique, the repair is permanent and will never return or warp under temperature changes.

03. Does PDR affect my vehicle's factory warranty?

No, in fact PDR is preferred by all automotive manufacturers because it retains the original factory paint, primers, and corrosion-resistant electrocoat intact.

04. Is PDR covered by Quebec auto insurance?

Yes. Comprehensive and collision policies from Intact, Desjardins, Beneva, Aviva, and TD cover PDR for hail storm damage, vandalism, and collisions, often with waived or reduced deductibles.
