How Long DOes Paintless Dent Repair Take?
If you’re like most people, you’re probably wondering how long paintless dent repair takes. That’s a valid question! After all, nobody wants to be without their car for an extended period of time. At Dent Erasers, we always do our best to get the job done as quickly as possible without sacrificing quality. That said, there are a variety of factors that can affect the amount of time it takes to fix a dent. In this blog post, we’ll outline some of those factors for you!
The Location and Size of the Dent: Small dents that are in an easily accessible location can be repaired quickly while larger dents or those located in hard to reach places will take more time. It’s best to consult with our team about your specific dent so we can give you a good idea of how long it will take for us to fix it.
The Condition of the Paint: If the paint on your car is in bad condition, that will add time to the repair process as we’ll need to take additional steps to make sure the new paint blends in with the old. In some cases, we’ll even need to repaint the entire vehicle so that it looks good as new again!
The Number of Dents: The more dents your car has, the longer it will take for us to fix them. That’s simply a matter of pure math — we have to work on each dent one at a time, and when there’s more than one dent that needs our attention it takes longer for us to do so.
What Your Car’s Finish Is Made out of: The dent repair pros at Dent Erasers can handle any vehicle body, though aluminum cars pose a trickier process than steel cars. The problem is due to the “movement” of the metals under the tools. Aluminum is a bit more finicky than steel. If this is the case, you’ll want to allow for a little more time for your paintless dent repair technician to finish the job right.
ADAS Capabilities: There are some cars today that are equipped with automated driver assistance systems, such as blind spot alerts and automatic parking. They sound absolutely amazing, don’t they? Nevertheless, when it comes to car dent repair, you can make sure that you’re working with a company that is ethical and knowledgeable, such as Dent Heads, so that these cars get the attention they deserve.
ADAS technologies frequently need to be calibrated before and after damage repair, in order to ensure that they continue to act in accordance with the actual physical configuration of the vehicle. The technology in a vehicle could become nonfunctional if they are not recalibrated, which means the vehicle becomes unsafe to drive!
Dent Erasers can generally have your paintless dent repair done in under a few hours and have you back on the road. Not to mention we are a mobile dent repair service so we can come to you at you home or your office os you don’t need to bring your car to a shop and leave it there for days or even weeks!
