PDR - dent removal - Królewiec

At our workshop in Królewiec, we remove dents using the PDR method while preserving the existing paint coating, wherever the condition of the panel allows. We can inspect the deformation closely on site, classify the technology and determine the scope of work straight away.

Service overview

PDR repairs right at our headquarters

With PDR, a thorough inspection is part of the repair, not a formality. Positioning the panel against the light shows the true profile of the dent and lets us decide whether working from the inside, using the glue-pulling technique, or combining both methods will work best.

On site we repair minor parking damage, and deformations on doors, wings, bonnets, roofs and boot lids, among others. More difficult spots such as edges, body lines or aluminium are assessed individually.

Locally

What we check before starting work

We assess the condition of the paint, the depth of the deformation, how stretched the metal is, its position relative to reinforcements, and whether safe access is possible. We also check for signs of previous repairs, since a layer of filler or a repainted panel can change the risk and the way we work.

If PDR isn't the right technology, we say so before starting the repair and point towards a more suitable direction for further work.

What we can repair using PDR

single parking dents
minor deformations from being hit by a door or a small object
dents on doors, wings, the bonnet, roof and boot lid
selected damage on body lines and near edges
selected aluminium panels after a separate assessment

How technical assessment works at the workshop

On site we can assess the dent under the same conditions in which the repair will later be carried out. We position the panel against the PDR light, watch how the lines run, and identify the lowest point of the deformation. We then check how close the damage is to edges, body lines, bonded reinforcements or structural elements that limit tool access.

The panel's history matters too. A repainted panel can often still be repaired, but it needs a more careful approach, especially with the glue-pulling method. If we see signs of a previous repair, we discuss the possible risks with the owner and choose the technology that gives the best control over the surface.

The end result depends on control of the surface, not just the dent disappearing

A well-executed PDR repair is about gradually restoring the panel's geometry. The technician works with small movements, keeps an eye on high points forming, and watches how light reflects from different directions. Pushing the centre out too quickly could leave unevenness, which is why the final stage of the work is just as important as lifting the dent itself.

Once the repair is finished, the surface is checked again under the light. This catches small irregularities that would be hard to notice in ordinary daylight. Only after this check do we consider the shaping stage complete.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I come to Clevermot in Królewiec just for an inspection?

Yes, after arranging a time, we can start with a classification and quote alone.

Can every dent be removed without repainting?

No. Cracked paint, heavily stretched metal, or previous repairs may call for a different technology.

Does the panel need to be dismantled?

Not always. The extent of dismantling depends on where the dent is and whether safe access can be obtained.

Does a PDR repair leave filler behind?

Not with a classic PDR repair. Its whole point is shaping the existing metal without filler or repainting.

Can I send photos in advance?

Yes. Photos help with an initial assessment of the type of damage, though the final classification happens with the car in front of us.

Can I come to Królewiec just for an inspection?

Yes. If you only need a classification and quote before deciding on a repair, the scope of the visit can be arranged beforehand. After the inspection, the customer decides how to proceed.

Does PDR require drilling holes in the bodywork?

As a standard rule, we aim to use existing structural access points or the glue-pulling technique. Any non-standard action would need to be agreed separately and isn't treated as a default part of the repair.
