Primary Advantages of PDR
NO CarFax with PDR!
What is a Carfax?
Once your vehicle goes through the claim process and is repaired at a body shop, your vehicle is reported to CarFax. It’s a detailed history report about your vehicle. A smart buyer who looks at your vehicle history report may suspect your vehicle has been in an accident. This can jeopardize the sale of your vehicle and reduce the resale value significantly. With paintless dent removal, your vehicle maintains its factory finish without the cause n effect history report. In other words, no evidence is shown on either paper work or your vehicle’s finish.
