Paintless Dent Repair is a specialized method that removes dents while keeping your vehicle's factory paint intact.

Questions about Paintless Dent Repair
Troubleshooting Guide
The paint looks intact over a dent. Does that guarantee PDR will work?
No. Dent depth, stretched metal, panel location, and access still matter. Geno's Auto Body checks these factors before confirming whether paintless repair is suitable.
There are several small parking dents. Must the whole panel be painted?
Not necessarily. Some dents may qualify for paintless repair if the finish and metal are suitable. Geno's Auto Body can evaluate each affected area and explain which method fits.
Can paintless repair fix a dent in a previously repainted panel?
Prior refinishing can affect the assessment and the risk to the finish. Tell Geno's Auto Body about previous bodywork so the team can evaluate the panel before choosing a repair method.
Why might a dent behind a reinforcement need a different approach?
A reinforcement can limit access for shaping tools, and the panel construction may restrict repair options. Geno's Auto Body can inspect access and determine whether PDR is practical.
Should I try a suction tool or heat on a dent first?
Uncontrolled pulling or heating can worsen the shape or damage paint and nearby components. Have Geno's Auto Body assess the dent before attempting a home repair, especially when the panel history is unknown.

Paintless dent repair reshapes suitable dents without sanding or repainting the affected panel. Geno's Auto Body uses this approach when the paint condition, metal shape, and access allow it.
Can paintless dent repair preserve my original finish?
Yes, when the dent qualifies. PDR is intended to retain the existing finish; cracked paint, severe creases, or stretched metal may require another repair method. We confirm suitability during inspection.
