Paintless dent repair (PDR) is a method of fixing dents, dings, and hail damage without sanding, bondo, or repainting. Our team at Dent Doctor uses specialized tools to carefully massage the dent back into shape, keeping your original factory paint intact.

Yes. Dent Doctor specializes in hail damage repair using the PDR method. We can remove dents from hoods, roofs, doors, and fenders caused by hailstorms. If the damage is too extensive, we’ll let you know and help guide you to the right next step.

Yes. For hail damage, we work directly with insurance companies. You should file your claim first, then bring your vehicle to Dent Doctor for an in-person estimate. If the insurance company underestimates the repair, we handle the supplement process for you.

Yes. All estimates are done in-person by appointment only. This allows us to inspect your vehicle carefully and give you an accurate repair plan. Please schedule your appointment by calling us at 1-970-201-3368.

Most paintless dent repair jobs can be completed the same day. For hail damage, repairs typically take 5–7 business days, and larger or more complex cases may require 7–10 business days. We’ll give you a clear timeline after your in-person inspection.

If the paint is cracked, PDR may not fully solve the problem. In these cases, Dent Doctor offers “push to paint” — we fix the dent first so the body shop only has to paint over it. Local Montrose body shops already rely on us for this service.

Traditional body shops can charge $500–$700 or more for a single dent. At Dent Doctor, paintless dent repair typically costs $95–$250 for small dents. Pricing depends on the size, depth, and location of the dent. Hail repair costs are usually covered by insurance and will need to be assessed before we can give you a quote.

Yes. We service cars, trucks, SUVs, and even motorcycles. Electric vehicles can be more complex, but we do offer repair options for them as well.

We typically do not offer a written warranty, but we stand by our work. We’ll always be upfront about the risks — for example, if your paint is already cracked, there’s a chance it could spread during repair. Our honesty and 30+ years of experience are why Montrose drivers (and body shops) continue to trust us.
