Paintless Dent Repair Repair
San Antonio TX
San Antonio — Do you have a dent or dings in your car’s doors or fenders? Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) is the closest thing to it never happening. This process is done with special tools and training. The PDR techs at Concours Auto Salon San Antonio get tools behind the damaged panels and slowly massage the metal back to its original shape, leaving your factory finish intact. In most cases, you will not be able to tell where the dent was.
Concours Auto Salon’s lead PDR technician has 14 years of experience repairing dings, dents, creases, and hail damage on a daily basis. Just like the ones you may have in your vehicle. We are active members of the NAPDRT and follow their code of ethics. We are also Vale National Certified Master Craftsman in the art of paintless dent repair. Vale is an independent third part company that tests and certifies PDR technicians.
The Paintless Dent Repair process can take as little as 30 minutes or up to several hours to complete depending on the size and location of the dent. Hail damaged vehicles can take a day to several days depending on the number of dings being repaired The cost of the repairs is generally a third of the price of traditional body shop repairs and in most cases, there’s not a need for a rental car.

Paintless Dent Repair Myths
Do it yourself Paintless Dent Repair is easy.
No, it‘s not. It requires training, skill, and experience. There are many people that claim they are PDR technicians who crack, flake or create ripples in the paint and metal.
Dry ice will repair my dings
99% of the time the dry ice methods do not work. In fact, it can actually harm the integrity of the paint, causing it to delaminate or fracture.
The PDR products sold on TV do the same thing as Vale Training Solutions?
No! Not even close. There is no good substitute for the art of PDR.
Scratch repair and dent repair are the same things.
No. A ding is a small dent which can often be repaired with Paintless Dent Repair. A scratch is an actual break in the surface of the clear coat or paint requiring traditional body shop techniques or touch up paint.
