Top-Quality Auto Collision Repair
in San Diego

Small dents, door dings and minor body damage can be frustrating, especially when your vehicle’s paint is still intact.

Paintless dent repair, commonly known as PDR, allows trained technicians to carefully reshape qualifying panels without traditional body filler or repainting. At Amato’s Auto Body, our experienced San Diego technicians use specialized PDR techniques to restore eligible dents while maintaining the vehicle’s existing factory finish.

During paintless dent repair, technicians gain access to the damaged area and use specialized tools to gradually manipulate the metal back toward its original shape.

Because sanding and repainting are typically unnecessary, PDR can be an efficient way to repair certain dents while preserving the original paint.

Not every dent is suitable for paintless dent repair. Factors such as the depth and location of the dent, the condition of the paint and access to the back of the panel all affect whether PDR is the right solution.

Our team evaluates the damage first and recommends the repair method most appropriate for your vehicle.

Successful paintless dent repair requires experience, patience and precision.

With more than 40 years serving San Diego drivers, Amato’s Auto Body has extensive experience evaluating and repairing body damage of all sizes. Our technicians carefully determine whether PDR can deliver the right result and, when it cannot, can recommend conventional body repair and refinishing options through the same facility.
