POPULAR QUESTIONS

  • How much does Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) cost in Minneapolis?

    At New Central Auto Body, Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) typically ranges from $100 to $500, depending on the size, depth, and location of the dent. PDR is a cost-effective solution for minor dents because it doesn’t require repainting or fillers.

  • Can all dents and scratches be repaired with Paintless Dent Repair (PDR)?

    Not all damage qualifies for Paintless Dent Repair (PDR). At New Central Auto Body in Minneapolis, PDR is ideal for minor dents where the paint surface remains intact — such as door dings, hail damage, or small impact areas. However, if the dent has sharp creases, cracked paint, or is on an edge panel, traditional repair methods may be required. The same goes for deep scratches, which often need sanding, filling, and color-matched repainting.

    Absolutely — in a good way. At New Central Auto Body, Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) and expert scratch removal can actually help preserve or increase your car’s resale value. Because PDR maintains your original factory paint, it avoids the depreciation that can come from mismatched paint jobs or visible bodywork. Our precision repairs restore your vehicle’s appearance without altering its structural integrity, helping you maintain both a clean Carfax report and buyer confidence.

    Whether you’re trading in or just keeping your car looking sharp, our repairs help protect your investment.
