Dent Repair in Calgary

If a dent has chipped or cracked the paint, moisture can reach the metal and corrosion may start. Deerfoot Trail carries an average of 83,000 vehicles a day at its south end and 170,000 north of Memorial Drive. When comparing repairs, ask whether the work can preserve the original finish or needs refinishing.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Common Questions

Sometimes. If the paint is intact and the metal is accessible, paintless dent repair may reshape the panel while keeping its finish. Sharp creases, stretched metal, damaged paint or a dent near an edge may call for conventional body repair and refinishing.
Ask how the technician will access the damaged area and whether trim or interior panels need to come off. Confirm what the estimate includes, whether the original paint can be retained, and how the shop will match the paint if refinishing is required.
