Paintless dent removal also takes less time to complete than traditional body work or touch-up painting. Most body shops average a two- to three-day turnaround time, and the mechanics spend substantially more time giving your car the ideal finish. Since most Auto dent repair shops charge labor on an hourly basis, this translates to higher costs to you even if you’re only dealing with one or two minor dents. Paintless dent removal often takes less than an hour to complete, meaning that not only do you get your car back to its original condition sooner, but you pay less overall, as well.
