Paintless Dent Removal
At Fred Henderson, we offer specialist paintless dent repair (PDR) through our dedicated division, The Dent Master. This means you get focused dent repair expertise without being passed on to an external bodyshop — and without your car needing a respray.
Paintless dent repair is a technique that removes dents and dings from your vehicle’s bodywork without touching the paint. No fillers, no sanding, no repainting — just the dent gone and your original factory finish preserved.
Compared to traditional bodyshop repairs, PDR is:
Not every dent is suitable for PDR — if yours isn’t, we’ll tell you honestly rather than attempt a repair that won’t give you the right result.
Hail can leave dozens of dents across multiple panels in one event. PDR is particularly well-suited to hail damage because the same technique that works on a single dent scales to multiple panels — without requiring the car to be resprayed. We can assess the full extent of the damage and restore your vehicle to its original condition.
Dealing with an insurance claim on top of a damaged car is the last thing you need. We can manage the process for you, including:
The main factors are whether the paint is intact and whether the metal has been stretched significantly. Most everyday dents — car park knocks, minor creases, hail damage — are good candidates. Dents where the paint has cracked or the panel has been heavily deformed may need a different approach. We’ll assess it and give you an honest answer.
No — that’s one of the key advantages. Because the original factory paint is untouched throughout the repair, there’s no impact on any paint warranty and no reduction in value from a respray being recorded on the vehicle’s history.
It depends on the size and number of dents, but most single-panel repairs can be completed in a few hours. Hail damage or multi-panel work will take longer, but it’s still significantly faster than a traditional bodyshop repair.
The Dent Master is a specialist division of Fred Henderson Ltd — not a third party. You’re dealing with the same team, with the benefit of dedicated PDR tools and expertise.
Yes. We can carry out the damage assessment, produce the report your insurer needs, and manage the repair process on your behalf. You won’t need to chase multiple parties — we’ll handle it.
