The Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) process begins by assessing the location and extent of the dent, as not all dents are the same. For effective PDR, a technician needs access to all sides of the dent, which may involve removing interior panels. The PDR technique involves accessing the back of the dent rather than approaching it from the front, making it a more effective and versatile method.

Once the technician has access to the dent, they use special tools to push it out and reshape the car's body to its original form. This process requires a skilled hand and meticulous attention to detail. Common tools include blending hammers and specially shaped rods.

After the repair, the technician will reassemble any removed parts and perform necessary clean-up measures to ensure the car is presentable and ready for delivery.
