This Rivian R1T hit a yellow pole the day before it was due to be turned in. A repair like this would normally take me 2–3 days if the customer wanted my absolute best workmanship. Most body shops would either estimate to replace the bedside at around $40K or charge $17K+ to repair and refinish it using heavy filler and paint work because of how these trucks are constructed. Instead, I was given only a 4-hour budget on a rainy Sunday afternoon. The customer only wanted me to focus on the upper damage since the lower section was already damaged before he got the truck, but I still reduced the lower damage as much as possible within the limited time allowed. This entire repair was completed 100% with glue pulling from the outside — no drilling, no filler, and no paintwork — in just 4 hours. Just imagine the level of results I could have delivered with the proper time and budget. — Eddie Martin
This Tesla Model 3 right quarter panel was repaired using the Glue Pull PDR method — or as many people call it, the “suction cup” method 🙂 A certified Tesla repair shop wanted to replace this welded and bonded quarter panel, while other shops wanted to hide the damage under body fillers and refinish multiple panels. That approach would have significantly diminished the vehicle’s resale value, required an insurance claim, and likely taken weeks or even months to complete. Instead, this repair was completed using Paintless Dent Repair techniques that preserved the factory finish and original panel without fillers, repainting, or panel replacement. — Eddie Martin,

The goal of this repair was to focus on the significant kick dent in the center of the quarter panel. The customer was not concerned with the smaller dents and waves surrounding the main impact area or the damage on the front fender. As a perfectionist and an artist, one of the hardest things to learn is knowing when to stop — even when you know you could keep improving the work. Sometimes perfection becomes the enemy of progress, budget, or the customer’s actual goals. In Paintless Dent Repair, there are moments when experience tells you the repair has reached the right stopping point for the time, budget, and expectations involved. That balance between craftsmanship and restraint is part of the art itself.
