LarGE Dent Repair BY Indianapolis Auto Spa

At Indianapolis Auto Spa, medium and large dent repair is one of our specialties—especially when other shops say it can’t be done. We provide expert paintless dent repair (PDR) for complex damage that doesn’t involve cracked paint. Our highly trained and experienced technicians use specific tools and techniques to reshape damaged panels from behind the surface. These larger dents may result from minor collisions, fallen branches, or large door impacts. Even if the dent looks severe, we recommend getting a second opinion before committing to costly bodywork. In many cases, PDR is still a viable option that saves your original paint and reduces repair time significantly.

What is Paintless Dent Repair?

before and after pdr

Paintless dent repair is a non-invasive method that removes dents without disturbing the original paint finish. Instead of sanding or filling the area, our technicians use precision tools to apply pressure behind the panel, carefully reshaping the metal to its original form. This technique works exceptionally well for medium and large dents as long as the paint remains intact. PDR is often faster and more affordable than traditional repairs, and it eliminates the need for color matching or repainting. At Indianapolis Auto Spa, we use this method to repair dents many shops would reject—restoring your vehicle’s appearance with minimal downtime and maximum precision.

After PDR: Large Dent Repair

Just because one shop says a dent is too large for PDR doesn’t mean it can’t be fixed. At Indianapolis Auto Spa, we frequently help customers who were told their damage was “beyond repair.” Many medium or even large dents can still be removed with the right technique and the right technician. Our team at Midwest Auto Dent Repair has years of experience with complex repairs, and we take pride in going the extra mile. We’re happy to evaluate your damage and provide an honest assessment—no pressure, no guesswork. Before signing off on costly paintwork, let us take a look. You might be surprised by what’s possible.

The True Cost of Traditional Body Repairs

Time-Consuming Repairs and Long Waits

Traditional body repairs can take several days—or even weeks—due to labor-intensive steps like sanding, filling, priming, and painting. Parts may need to be ordered, and paint must cure before reassembly. For drivers with busy schedules, this downtime can be frustrating and inconvenient. In contrast, paintless dent repair (PDR) is often completed in a fraction of the time, helping you avoid extended delays and get back on the road much faster.

Higher Out-of-Pocket Costs AT BODY SHOPS

Body shops typically charge more for traditional repairs due to the materials, labor, and refinishing required. Even with insurance, you may face a higher deductible or additional costs if your provider doesn’t fully cover cosmetic damage. PDR eliminates the need for new panels or paint, keeping expenses low. For medium and large dents that qualify, choosing PDR can dramatically reduce both your repair bill and the chance of premium increases later.

Paint Mismatch and Diminished Value

Repainting a section of your vehicle introduces the risk of color mismatch—especially with older paint jobs or unique factory colors. Even a slight difference in tone or texture can affect the vehicle’s appearance and lower resale value. Paintless dent repair preserves the original factory finish, avoiding these issues altogether. If maintaining your vehicle’s original look and market value is important to you, PDR is clearly the smarter, more protective choice that retains value.

Paintless Dent Repair FAQs

Can large dents really be fixed with paintless dent repair (PDR)?

Yes—many large dents can be repaired using PDR, depending on their depth, location, and whether the paint is still intact. Our certified technicians at Indianapolis Auto Spa specialize in evaluating complex dents and restoring them using advanced PDR techniques. We recommend a professional inspection to determine if your dent qualifies.

How do I know if my dent is too big for PDR?

Size is just one factor. We also consider the sharpness of the dent, the metal’s stretch, and the paint’s condition. Some large dents look severe but are actually great candidates for paintless dent repair. If the paint isn't cracked and the metal hasn’t creased too deeply, we may be able to repair it without traditional bodywork.

Will my dent still be visible after PDR?

In most cases, no. When performed correctly, PDR can restore your panel to near-perfect condition. Our skilled technicians use specialized tools to reshape the metal from behind, maintaining the factory finish. If the dent meets PDR criteria, the results are virtually undetectable to the naked eye.

Is PDR more affordable than traditional dent repair?

Yes—PDR generally costs less than traditional repair methods. Since there’s no need for sanding, body filler, or repainting, labor and material costs are significantly reduced. For large dents that qualify, this can result in major savings without compromising on quality.

Can you work with my insurance company on large dent repairs?

Absolutely. If your repair qualifies for insurance coverage, we’ll work directly with your provider to streamline the process. Our team has experience handling claims and can help with documentation, estimates, and communication to ensure your large dent repair is covered appropriately and completed efficiently.
