TIME-LAPSE VIDEOS OF THE P.D.R. PROCESS

Ever wonder what the actual paintless dent repair process looks like?

Several time-lapse videos of the paintless dent repair (PDR) process are shown below. Hopefully, you will find them fascinating and informative of how effective the PDR techniques can be when used by a highly skilled PDR tech to transform a vehicle’s appearance from ugly to Wow, my car looks new again.

Who do you call to repair your brand-new car or one with over 500,000 miles? Mr Dent Devil Eddie Martin

This Rivian RT1T hit a yellow pole the day before it was turned in. A repair like this usually takes 2 to 3 days if a customer wants my best workmanship. A body shop will estimate to replace the bedside at around $40K or $17K plus to hide the damage under Bondo fillers and paint because of how this car is constructed. I was given only a 4-hour budget on a rainy Sunday afternoon. The customer only wanted me to focus on the upper damage, as the lower was already damaged before he got it. So I reduced the lower damage as much as possible in the allowed time. This whole repair was done 100% with glue, pulling only from the outside in 4 hours. Just think of the results I could have given this customer if I had been given the proper budget and time.

This Tesla Model 3 right quarter panel was repaired with the Glue Pull PDR method or, as many people call it, the Suction Cup 🙂 A certified Tesla Shop wanted to replace this welded & and bonded quarter panel, and other shops wanted to hide the damage under Bondo fillers and refinish multiple panels, significantly which would have greatly diminished the resell value, required an insurance claim, and required weeks or months to complete!

A Nazareth School college student’s dad hired us to repair his daughter’s 2016 Honda HRV after she kept getting estimates from body shops that wanted to replace the rear hatch. This was repaired while she was at school for a fraction of the cost with paintless dent repair.

Watch this stretched crease disappear before your eyes as I work the damage through the factory access hole with paintless dent repair rods.

Tesla quarter panel was repaired only with the glue pulling method without bondo filler, repainting, or replacement in less than a day.

Tesla Model 3 passenger door step-by-step parts removed and going down with the window, door panel, and carrier plate handle removed. There are other ways I could have repaired it, but it would have been at a higher risk as the plastic door handle plate would have been leveraged off.

Watch Eddie save his long-time customer’s Tesla from the hands of the insurance company’s recommended body shop. They wanted $6k and weeks to repair. This Tesla trunk was repaired without replacing the factory rear hatch, bondo filler, or even repainting, all done in less than a day at the customer’s home for a fraction of the cost and without any diminished value.

Watch Eddie remove this complex damage on a Aluminum Tesla Model 3 driver door without Bondo fillers or needing to even refinish the door. All the regular body shops claimed it could not be repaired even with Bondo, so they wanted to replace the door.

This poor BMW X4 had a little mishap with a malfunctioning garage door. When performed correctly, Paintless Dent Repair is a superior alternative to Bondo fillers and refinishing.

The goal was to focus on the significant kick dent in the middle of the quarter panel. The customer was not worried about the minor dents and waves on the other side of the substantial dent in the center of the quarter panel or the front fender. As an artist and perfectionist, you must be willing to quit even when your work is not finished. That’s a powerful and slightly paradoxical statement—and it hits deep for any creative who wrestles with perfectionism. Quitting a piece before it’s “done” can feel like failure, but it can also be the most honest act of artistic integrity. Sometimes, the pursuit of perfection becomes a trap that kills the raw emotion or authenticity of the work. Knowing when to walk away, even if something’s incomplete by conventional standards, can be a form of mastery. It’s like saying, “This moment of imperfection is where the truth lives, and I respect it enough to leave it be.” Have you ever quit a piece and felt like it was the right call, even if it was hard?
