How much does door ding repair cost?

Most single door dings range from $75 to $150 depending on size and location on the panel. Multiple dings on the same panel are often less expensive per dent. Send Pete a photo for a free estimate.

Can you fix multiple door dings at once?

Yes. If you have several dings on the same panel or nearby panels, Pete can often repair them all in one visit, and the per-dent cost goes down with multiple repairs.

Will the repaired area match the rest of my car?

Perfectly. Because PDR preserves your original factory paint, there's no repainting involved — the repaired area is indistinguishable from the surrounding metal.

How long does a door ding repair take?

A typical single door ding takes 30 to 60 minutes. You can wait at the shop or drop off the vehicle and pick it up the same day.

Should I use insurance for a door ding?

For a single door ding, the repair cost is often less than your insurance deductible, so paying out of pocket usually makes more sense. Pete can help you decide based on the cost of your specific repair.

What Is Door Ding Repair?

Door dings are the most common type of minor dent — those frustrating little dents that appear on the sides of your vehicle after a trip to the grocery store, a crowded parking garage, or an inconsiderate neighbor in the next parking spot. They happen when another car door, a shopping cart, or a stray object makes contact with your vehicle's body panel.

The good news is that door dings are perfect candidates for paintless dent repair. Because they're typically small, shallow, and the paint is usually still intact, Pete can remove them quickly and completely — often in under an hour — without any fillers, sanding, or repainting.

If you've got a door ding (or several), don't wait. Small dents are easier and less expensive to repair when they're fresh. And because PDR preserves your original paint, there's no risk of a mismatched color or a visible repair line.
