Paintless dent removal, panel beating, and dent removal from East London’s dedicated bodywork team.
Car dent repair — also known as dent removal — restores your car’s bodywork after a dent, ding, or crease, usually caused by car park knocks, shopping trolleys, hailstorms, or minor collisions. At Prime Auto in Ilford, we repair bodywork back to a factory-smooth finish using paintless dent removal (PDR) for shallow, unscratched dents, and traditional panel beating and filler techniques for deeper damage — often blending the repair using our dedicated paint job and respray service rather than needing a full respray.
Every dent is different — depth, panel location, and paint condition all affect the method and the price. Rather than guess over the phone, we assess the damage in person and give you a fixed, no-obligation quote before any work starts.
No. PDR works the metal back into shape from behind the panel, leaving the factory paint completely untouched — which is actually better for resale value than a respray, since original paint is what buyers and valuers look for.
Yes. If your dent resulted from a collision, we can liaise directly with your insurer as part of our accident claim and repair service, so you’re not stuck managing the paperwork yourself.
Only if the paint has cracked, chipped, or scratched down to bare metal. Most PDR repairs need no paintwork at all.
Not always — very sharp creases, dents near a panel edge, or dents where the paint is already damaged usually need traditional panel beating and filler instead. We’ll tell you which applies during your free assessment.
It depends on the type of repair — a shallow PDR job is often quicker than one needing panel beating or a paint blend. We’ll give you an accurate timeframe once we’ve assessed the damage in person.
