Car Dent Repair in Melbourne – What We Fix and Why We Don’t Do PDR

Dents on your car can happen anytime — from parking accidents, trolley hits, or someone opening their door too close. At Smart Auto Care, we specialise in mobile car dent repair that brings your car back to its original look without the need to visit a workshop.

But not all dent repairs are the same. In this post, we’ll explain:

• What kind of dents we repair
• What PDR (Paintless Dent Removal) is
• Why we don’t offer PDR and what we do instead

What Types of Dents Do We Repair?

We fix most common dents that come with some level of paint damage. Our process includes sanding, priming, painting, and blending — giving a clean, smooth finish.

We repair:

• Dents with scratches or chipped paint
• Bumper dents
• Door panel dents
• Corner dents
• Small accident damage
• Dents that need repainting for a proper finish

We come to your home or workplace and do the job on-site, saving you time and hassle.

What is PDR (Paintless Dent Removal)?

PDR is a method where dents are pushed out from behind the panel using special tools. It’s meant for very light dentswhere the paint is not scratched, cracked, or chipped.

It’s quick, but it only works in very specific cases.

Why We Don’t Offer PDR

At Smart Auto Care, we don’t do PDR for a few important reasons:

• Most dents we see involve paint damage
• PDR won’t fix cracked paint or deep dents
• The finish is often not as clean as a full repair
• We aim to give a proper, lasting result – not a quick fix

Our focus is full dent repair with repainting and blending. This gives your car a like-new look and protects the panel from rust or further damage.
