An Answer to All Your Questions About
Our Auto Body Shop

How do I know if my dent qualifies for paintless dent repair?2026-07-17T20:12:36+00:00

The best way to find out is to bring your vehicle to Carrillo & Sons Collision Center for a hands-on assessment. Our technicians will examine the damage, assess the paint condition, and let you know whether PDR is the right approach, all before any work begins.

Can Carrillo & Sons Collision Center repair hail damage with PDR?2026-07-17T20:11:26+00:00

Yes, hail damage is one of the most common applications for paintless dent repair, and Carrillo & Sons Collision Center handles these repairs regularly. Our certified technicians are experienced in addressing the multiple small dents that hailstorms typically leave across hoods, roofs, and trunk lids.

Is paintless dent repair a permanent fix?2026-07-17T20:11:02+00:00

When performed correctly by a trained technician, PDR results in permanent changes: the metal is returned to its original position and holds its shape. At Carrillo & Sons Collision Center, our technicians use the proper tools and techniques to ensure the repair is stable and long-lasting, not a temporary workaround.

Does paintless dent repair preserve my vehicle’s factory warranty?2026-07-17T20:10:10+00:00

Yes, because Carrillo & Sons Collision Center uses PDR to restore the original panel without sanding or repainting, your vehicle’s factory finish and any associated warranty protections remain intact. This is one of the key advantages PDR holds over traditional body repair methods.
