Pros & Cons of Paintless Dent Removal
- An advantage of paintless dent repair is that it does not affect the warranty on the car's paint or finish. Painting any part of your car usually voids the factory paint and finish warranties.
- Because paintless dent repair does not require any painting, there is no need to worry that the repair shop will have trouble matching the painted section of your car with the original paint job.
- Paintless dent repair has no affect on the car's structural integrity.
- Repairing dents using paintless dent repair is faster and less expensive than other dent repair methods.
- Scratches cannot be repaired using paintless dent repair.
- Only metal parts of the car can be fixed with paintless dent repair. Damage to plastic parts cannot be repaired using this method, and plastic bumpers are often the part of the car that is dented.
- The tools and techniques of paintless dent repair simply cannot reach every part of a car's body and may not be an option depending on the location of the dent.
