Having minor dents or door dings repaired used to be a huge hassle, requiring body shops to use a filler material, sand and paint the area, only to hope the color matched the factory finish (it rarely did). Paying $1000's and being without your vehicle for days all because of a tiny dent simply didn't make sense for most people and this holds true today.

Thankfully, paintless dent removal evolved from traditional repair methods to save the repairman and the vehicle owner time and money. This technique was first on display at the 1960 “International Motor Sports Show” in New York. Oscar Flaig’s job with Mercedes-Benz was to repair any minor imperfections to the body of the vehicles on display. He developed methods for dent repair out of pure necessity and lack of time.

Fast forward to 2022 and Flaig's strategies are now the industry standard for repairing dents that have no paint damage. One man's ingenuity has shaped the entire auto body repair industry as PDR is now preferred by dealerships, insurance companies, and body shops. Dent removal is still serving its original purpose of saving time and money for all parties involved. Contact Dent Maven for mobile dent repair in Citrus Heights.
