If you’ve ever traveled with your surf gear or had the kids in tow, you know how hard it is to return from a vacation with your car in the same condition as when you left. Surfboards are some of the bulkiest, most awkward gear to carry, so we don’t blame you if you’ve damaged your car.Read More
Mobile paintless dent repairs provide car owners with an option to repair the minor dents in their car without the need to go to a panel beater. It covers repairs for carpark, trolley and hail dents whether they are located on the roof or door of your car. There are many benefits to using a paintless dent repairer, some of which are outlined below.
Fast quotes, fast service!
One benefit of mobile paintless dent repairs that many car owners find convenient is how fast our quotes and service is. When you send your pictures through of your car dents we can determine how much it will take to repair and will get back to you fast with your quote, usually the same day.
Once you book your car in we make quick work of the repairs so that you can get back on the road sooner. This is great for many customers who are busy and don’t have time to be without a car for a week. That is why mobile paintless dent repairs are preferred over panel beaters for small dents.
Convenient and mobile
Our paintless dent repair technicians are mobile and our services are very convenient for a lot of people. Whether you need your partner’s car repaired before they get home or you only have time to get your vehicle fixed in your lunch break, we work in with you so you don’t have to worry!
Being mobile allows us to visit you at your home, place of work or even on the side of the road. This means you don’t have to make alternate arrangements to get to work or worry about being without your car for the day.
Maintains the integrity of the vehicle
Our mobile dent repairs help to maintain your vehicle’s integrity through working the dent out of the panel with specialised tools. This doesn’t require any fillers or paint, which enables you to keep the original finish on your car. This gives many car owners piece of mind because it is not only a cheaper option; it requires less work to be done on their vehicle.
Panel beaters will use additional paint and fillers to remove dents, which can leave your car looking a bit patched up. Paintless dent repairs ensure a flawless result while keeping your car’s original paintwork and finish intact.
Servicing families and businesses
As mobile paintless dent repairers we service a range of clients including families and businesses. Sometimes kids accidentally dent car’s and they need to be repaired at home or fleet vehicles need a bit of TLC at the workplace. No matter who has a dent, we repair them all!

Driving can be hazardous at the best of times; however, you are more likely to receive a dent in a shopping centre carpark than out on the road. This can be both inconvenient and annoying for a lot of car owners but you should be able to fix it through your insurance right?
What your insurance will cover
Standard third party or CTP insurance will not cover your car for damages such as dents. Do not be mistaken that this type of insurance will cover you in an accident, however minor. CTP insurance only protects you against claims from other parties such as vehicle owners, drivers and pedestrians.
Fully comprehensive insurance will cover your vehicle when it receives a dent. This will enable you to perform a repair on your vehicle without the need to fork out extra cash. Although, you may loose your no claims bonus on a minor repair.
Should you claim pdr repairs through your insurance?
When your car is dented you have the option of claiming the repair through your insurance or paying for the repair yourself. If it is only a minor dent in the side of your car or on your bonnet you are better off paying for a mobile paintless dent repairer to perform the repairs. This will help you save your no claims bonus instead of wasting it on such a minor repair.
If your car has multiple dents that have been left and built up over time then it is worth repairing your car through your insurance. You can still ask for a quote from a mobile paintless dent repairer instead of a panel beater, as this will ensure that you aren’t stuck without a car for a week.
Is your car hail damaged?
Seeing your car with hail damage is not the best feeling. Depending on the severity of the damage you might even have to replace entire panels to get your car restored to the condition it was originally in. In some cases, this will cause your car to be written off by your insurance company.
You can always send us hail damage photos of your car if you are unsure of whether your vehicle can be repaired. We will be able to tell you if it is worth fixing your car through a mobile paintless dent repairer, such as ourselves, or if you will need to repair your car by other means.
Ensuring you have the right cover for your car
Making sure your car is covered will protect you from paying for dents in the future. Ensuring you have the right cover is what you need to be aware of! Check if your policy includes hail damage or storm damage in case your vehicle is accidentally hit by a tree branch or caught in a hailstorm.
Whether you are covered or not, a mobile paintless dent repairer, such as ourselves, can provide you with a quote for your dent repair and ensure that your vehicle is fixed with quality results.

Time
Even if you have a small dent in your vehicle, panel shops require you to drop your car off at their workshop and leave it there for several days. Sometimes, you will even need to leave it there for weeks!
Paintless dent repair, however, does not require you to be without your car for an extended period of time. Most small dent repairs can be completed within an hour, getting you back on the road in no time!
Location
Traditional panel beaters use tools and techniques that require your car be in their workshop, regardless of whether that suits your situation or not.
Paintless dent repair, on the other hand, can be completed by one of PDR 2U’s mobile small dent repairs technicians in a location that is most convenient for you. PDR 2U is able to complete your repair at your home, work or even in an undercover carpark!
Technicians
If you take your vehicle to be repaired at a traditional panel shop, your vehicle will typically go through the hands of several employees from office staff to panel beaters and spray painters. On most occasions, you will not have direct contact with the tradespeople completing your repair. Details regarding your expectations may not be passed on during the repair process as your vehicle passes through the various stations within the panel shop.
In contrast, during the repair process with PDR 2U, the entire repair will be completed by one repairer who you will be able to directly communicate with. This means your repairer will have a complete understanding of your expectations. We have many customers who stand by their car and watch as we complete their repair. They are always amazed as we appear to magically remove their dents in front of their eyes!
Techniques
When your car is repaired at a panel shop, the dents and damage in your vehicle will typically be filled with bog or filler, then sanded over before being painted. This does not actually fix the damage. It simply hides it. Over time, this bog can crack, leaving the bogged up area looking like cracked concrete which stands out as an ugly patch compared to the rest of the car. Furthermore, when a car is repainted, it can sometimes be difficult to match the colour of the new paint to the existing paint on the vehicle. This can leave the car owner with an ever present reminder of the damage.
Alternatively, when your vehicle is repaired using PDR small dent repairs techniques, no bog or fillers are used. PDR 2U’s highly skilled technicians use a range of tools and specialised lighting to gently massage the damaged metal back to its original shape, completely alleviating the need to use any supplementary fillers. Your car’s original factory paintwork remains in tact as your vehicle is restored to its pre-dent condition and no evidence of the dent will ever return. Customer satisfaction is our number one priority. We back this up with our lifetime guarantee on all of our PDR repairs.
PDR limitations
Unfortunately, paintless dent removal techniques cannot be used in all situations. In some instances, where the damaged area is too large or where the paint has been damaged, PDR cannot be used to remove your dents. If you are unsure about whether paintless dent removal is suitable to repair your dents, feel free to call or text a photo of your dents to 0448 844 328 for an obligation-free quote. Alternatively, you can upload photos on our website.
While each day as a Paintless Dent Removal specialist varies greatly, we thought you might like to take a ride with us as we show you what a morning on the job looks like.
Our work day today began in Hope Island where we arrived at 7:00am to repair our first customer’s car. This customer had an annoying dent in the driver’s door of her Mercedes Benz SLK350. It had occurred when the passenger of a neighbouring car carelessly opened their door and connected with her Mercedes in the underground carpark of her apartment complex. This left a thin dent about 10cm long in the middle of her door, which caught her eye every time she went to hop in her car. When we spoke with her on the phone late yesterday, she told us she has a busy work schedule and might struggle to find enough time to fit the repair in during her week, so we offered to arrive early this morning to repair her dent before her busy workday started.
As this door dent was long and thin, we decided to use traditional paintless dent repair methods to repair the damage. Using a window guard and an airbag, we created a space between the window and the inner side of the panel. This enabled us to fit our specially shaped tools behind the panel to massage the dent out from top to bottom. Specialised lighting directed at the front of the panel and the trained eye of our exceptionally skilled PDR technician quickly restored the panel to its original condition. As an added bonus, we were also able to repair a few smaller door dents that were on the same panel – free of charge! The whole repair took approximately 20 minutes, allowing our customer to make it to work with plenty of time to spare. She could not believe how easy it was to have her pride and joy repaired with PDR 2U!
After leaving our happy customer in Hope Island, we travelled to nearby Southport to visit a car dealership that we regularly service. At this location, we worked our magic to repair dents that may have accidently occurred due to the fact that vehicles are constantly moved around the yard, inspected by buyers and taken out for test drives. We were able to repair six vehicles this morning, restoring them back to pristine condition ready to sell. Each time we fix a dent or ding, we save the dealership time and money as we repair their vehicles on site. This means they do not need to lose their vehicles for days at a time as is the case with panel shop repairs. Our methods of repair are environmentally friendly and retain the factory paint finish of each vehicle. We also guarantee that no dent will ever return which means that when customers purchase the repaired vehicles from the dealership, we guarantee they will have no long term problems as a result of our repairs.
After leaving Southport, we headed off to Coomera where our customer had accidentally reversed his brand-new Toyota Hilux into his letterbox while leaving home for work this morning. This left a considerable dent in the tailgate of his leased work ute. Fortunately for this customer, we were able to meet him at work to ensure his dent was repaired on the same day the damage occurred! Due to the location of his dent, the repair process involved the use of two different paintless dent removal techniques. Firstly, a glue-pulling method was used on the front of the panel to pull out the bulk of the dent. The remainder of the dent was then completely removed by working from behind the panel with specialised tools to gently massage the metal back to its original shape. Using our expertise and extensive knowledge of appropriate tools and techniques, we were able to bring this Toyota Hilux tailgate back to its pre-dent condition in less than an hour, saving our customer the time and money he would otherwise have lost on a conventional repair. After witnessing our repair, the extremely grateful customer said he was “blown away by how quick the repair process was” and that he was “impressed by the perfect result, especially considering the damage was only done this morning”. The best part of any job we do is seeing the joy and relief it brings to our customers. This job was no exception.
Following our job in Coomera, we enjoyed an early lunch before heading north to fill our afternoon with more PDR repairs in Logan, Redlands and Brisbane. We truly love what we do, and it is a pleasure to give you an insight into what our morning was like as Brisbane’s highest rated Paintless Dent Removal service.
