PDR is a way to fix dents on a car without repainting. Technicians push the dent from inside so the paint stays smooth.

PDR stands for Paintless Dent Repair, a technique used to remove small dents from a vehicle’s body without affecting the paint finish. It involves massaging the metal back into shape using specialized tools.
