Eliminates Mismatched Colours and Overspray: PDR eliminates the risk of mismatched colours, overspray, or paint defects that can arise from conventional repair methods because we are Paint less. No paint is ever used with PDR.
Time-Efficient and Cost-Effective: Compared to traditional dent repair techniques, PDR is typically faster and more affordable, saving you both time and money.
Environmentally Friendly: PDR utilises specialised tools and techniques, eliminating the use of harmful chemicals or materials, making it an environmentally conscious choice for vehicle repair.

While Paintless Dent Removal (PDR) offers an effective solution for many minor damages like dents, dings, and creases there are certain types of damage that fall beyond its capabilities.
PDR cannot repair dents where the paint is damaged, such as when it is missing, cracked, flaking or bubbling. Additionally, PDR is not suitable for dents that have caused excessive stretching or distortion of the metal, altering its original properties.
In cases where the damage affects the structural integrity of the vehicle, compromising its safety, PDR is not an option. Structural damage requires conventional repair methods to restore the vehicle’s safety and stability.

Small door dings/dents these are minor dents on the vehicle’s sides or doors, generally caused by other car doors, trolleys, bins or other objects. They can be easily removed by pushing them out from inside the panel with special rods and our skilful technician.
Medium/large size dents and creases you would be surprised to know how these damages are quite common and again these can be fixed with Paintless Dent Removal, which is a faster, economical repair and preserves your vehicle’s value.

GPR Glue Pulling is a way to remove dents from the outside of the panel with glue, tabs, and special equipment when we can’t reach behind the panel. This is often used on roofs, roof rails and rear quarters of the vehicle.
Aluminium dents pose a greater challenge compared to steel panel dents, primarily due to the inherent properties of the metals and their response to repair techniques. The lack of metal memory in aluminium makes it more difficult to manipulate back to its original shape, unlike steel, which exhibits a tendency to “remember” its original form and naturally flow back into it.
Body line dents, while more challenging to repair, can be effectively eliminated using Axi-dent ltd’s Paintless Dent Removal (PDR) techniques. The process essentially mirrors that of standard dent removal, but with a higher level of expertise and more advanced techniques required. When a body line is dented, pressure gets trapped within the metal, necessitating a methodical and patient approach that involves working both above and below the metal’s surface. While body line dents may be more resistant to repair, they can be successfully removed using the correct PDR methods. Like larger dents, the repair process may take slightly longer, but the resulting flawless finish is undoubtedly worth the effort.
