Paintless Dent Repair
in Loudon, TN

The truck can't sit at a shop for three days. Your gear is in it, you're back on shift in the morning, and burning a day off on a dent isn't happening. You already know it isn't going to pop out on its own, and a body shop feels like too much for something this size, especially when it means repainting a panel that still has its original factory finish. There is a third option, and this is exactly the situation paintless dent repair was intended for.

I don't paint over it or fill it. I work the dent out by hand from behind the panel, moving the metal back in the reverse of the order it went in, and the finish it left the factory with never gets touched. Most of the time it's done in a couple hours, in the lot while you're inside.

A door hit in the lot at Kimberly-Clark or Malibu Boats. A crease picked up along US-11. Something that happened in your own driveway off Highway 72. Text me a photo first and I'll tell you if it qualifies and what it'll cost before you commit to anything.

Who you're actually calling

One person. Start to finish.

When you call or text 865-420-3368, I answer the phone, give you the assessment, and do the repair myself. You are not getting passed around or handed off to someone you never spoke to.

I grew up around this work. My father was a bodyman who made the move into PDR and taught me how to do it. He knew exactly what happened to cars inside a body shop because he was the one doing it. I spent years in those shops too before I made the decision to work directly for retail customers instead. The difference is who you are working for. In a shop the goal is volume and throughput. In your driveway the goal is your car. Those are not the same job.

I have spent years working alongside some of the best PDR technicians in the country and that experience changes what I can take on. Hard aluminum panels, deep creases in difficult access points, damage that other people have told you cannot be fixed paintless. Some of that is true and I will tell you when it is. But some of it I can fix, and I will tell you that too.

Paintless dent repair looks simple from the outside. That's actually the point. What you don't see is the trained eye reading the metal, the hours spent learning how different panels on different vehicles respond, and the judgment call that happens before a single tool touches the car. When it's done right there's nothing to show for it except a panel that looks like the damage never happened. That's the beauty of the work. It's not an accident.

Start to finish

From photo to done, usually same day.

No shop drop-off, no scheduling headaches. Here's what it actually looks like:

01. Text a photo

Send a couple pictures

Send a couple pictures of the dent to 865-420-3368. A photo gives me most of what I need to get started.

02. Get a real answer

A cost range, same day

I look at the photos and get back to you with a cost range and a straight opinion on whether it's a good candidate for paintless dent repair. If it isn't, I'll tell you that too. No pressure either way.

03. Pick a time

Wherever your car already is

Once everything looks good, the next step is just finding a time that works for you. Your driveway, your workplace, wherever the car happens to be.

04. Take a look and decide

You only pay if you're happy

I do the repair and then you take a look. If you're happy with it, you pay. If something isn't right, you don't. That's been the policy from the beginning.

Cost

How pricing actually works

Every repair's cost comes from measuring the dent point to point with a dent light. The ranges below reflect the fact that photos don't always show exact size, so I give you a range when assessing from pictures. Once I'm there with the light, the cost is exact and based on what I actually measure. No moving targets.

Most modern vehicles have aluminum panels, which typically puts a small dent in the $250-425 range. Traditional steel panels run $125-225 for the same size damage. Here's why aluminum costs more. Most repairs still cost less than a typical insurance deductible, and unlike a body shop, there's no paint, no blend time, no shop overhead in the cost.

The table below is steel panel pricing by dent size. Aluminum runs higher, for the reasons explained above.

Dent size (steel panels)Price range
Around 1 inch$125 - $175
Around 2 inches$175 - $225
Around 3 inches$225 - $275
Around 4 inches$275 - $325
Around 5 inches$325 - $375
Around 6 inches$375 - $425
Around 7 inches$425 - $475
8 inches and upLet's look at photos

What can affect the cost

Some dents are straightforward. Others have something working against them. A body line running through the damage, an aluminum panel that needs more finesse, limited access from behind. When something makes the repair genuinely more difficult, the cost reflects that. I'll tell you upfront if any of that applies to your dent before I come out.

If a repair requires removing trim or interior panels to get behind the damage, that's handled separately and the cost is based on what's actually involved. It varies a lot depending on the vehicle.

Multiple dings on the same vehicle often qualify for a discount. Ask when you text photos.

You go in with a dent. You come out without one.

I don't cover it up. I physically remove it from your car, and the panel ends up the way it was before the damage happened. Text a photo to 865-420-3368, I'll set up a window that works, and most of the time it's done in a couple hours while you're inside.

Sending the photo takes less time than the walk out to your truck. Nothing is decided until you decide it.
