Car Denting & Tinkering in Bangalore

From a parking-lot door ding to a full collision rebuild. Metal is pulled, beaten and shaped back to the panel line, then painted so the repair disappears. This is the trade the workshop is built around.

The repair methods

Which method your dent needs depends on size, depth, location and whether the paint cracked. We always quote the least invasive method that will actually hold.

01 / PDR

Paintless Dent Removal (PDR)

Small and medium dents massaged out from behind the panel with rods and levers, without filler and without repainting. Your factory paint stays untouched, which keeps resale value intact. Only works where the paint has not cracked and the metal has not creased sharply.

02 / Conventional

Conventional Dent Repair

The hammer-and-dolly method for larger dents that PDR cannot reach or hold. Metal is worked back to shape, skimmed where needed, then primed and repainted. The standard repair for real-world damage.

03 / Door Ding

Door Ding Removal

The small round dents car park doors leave in yours. Usually a quick PDR job done while you wait. Cheap enough that there is no reason to keep collecting them.

04 / Collision

Collision Dent Repair

Major accident damage: crushed panels, pushed structures, multiple panels at once. Assessed panel by panel, repaired or replaced honestly, and finished in the paint booth. Where the damage goes beyond skin metal, it moves into body repair territory: frame straightening and welding.

05 / Beating

Panel Beating

The core craft: shaping and straightening sheet metal with dollies, spoons and specialised hammers until the panel reads straight under a raking light. Machines cannot do this. Experienced hands can.

Panel by panel

Every panel dents differently and repairs differently. This is what each one involves.

06 / Bumper

Bumper Dent Repair

Modern bumpers are plastic or fibreglass and pop, crack or deform rather than dent like metal. We reshape with controlled heat, weld cracks from behind where needed, and refinish. Cheaper than replacement in most cases.

07 / Fender

Fender Repair

Front and rear fenders take the brunt of side swipes. Straightened where the metal allows, replaced where it does not, with wheel-arch lines restored so the gap to the door reads factory.

08 / Bonnet

Hood / Bonnet Repair

Dents, creases and bends on the engine hood, including the shallow wide dents that are hardest to make vanish. Hinge and latch alignment checked so the bonnet sits flush and shuts with one push.

09 / Boot

Trunk / Boot Lid Repair

Rear-end knocks and loading damage on the boot lid. Repaired and realigned so the lid seals against water, because a leaking boot becomes a rust problem within one monsoon.

10 / Roof

Roof Dent Repair

Falling branches, coconuts, hail. Roof dents are visible from every angle and the roof skin is large and springy, which makes this precision work: PDR where possible, conventional repair where not.

11 / Quarter

Quarter Panel Repair

The rear quarter is welded to the body, not bolted, so damage here including wheel arch hits takes real tinkering skill to repair rather than replace. We repair where the metal is honest, and say so when it is not.

12 / Sills

Side Sill / Rocker Panel Repair

The lower sills below the doors collect stone hits, jack damage and rust. Dents are worked out, rusted sections cut and replaced, and the sill sealed and coated because it lives in the splash zone.

Every dent repair that involves paint gets the same booth and blending as our painting work, so the fixed panel matches its neighbours.
