The Dent Trooper — mobile paintless dent repair
Door dings

Mobile door ding repair in West Central Florida

A fresh door ding does not automatically mean filler and paint. If the finish is intact, we can usually work the metal back into shape at your home or office — and tell you plainly when a dent is not a paintless candidate.

Photos that get an accurate price

A few good pictures tell us the panel, the paint and the shape of the dent before we quote it.

Send these photos

It takes about 60 seconds: your name, phone number, your car's year, make and model, and a few photos of the dent.

No account, no payment info — and if we need a better photo, we'll tell you exactly what to take.

Show the whole panel

Stand far enough back that we can tell which door, fender, hood or quarter panel is dented.

Add several close-ups

Take each close-up from a slightly different angle so we can judge the depth and shape of the dent.

Use daylight

Soft daylight and a low angle make shallow dents, creases and the condition of the paint easier to see.

Paintless repair requires intact paint. If the dent is creased through the paint, chipped, scraped or part of a heavily damaged panel, send the photos anyway — we will tell you honestly whether PDR is the right repair.

Good candidates

When a door ding is right for paintless repair

The dent matters, but so does the paint, the panel and whether anyone has already tried to move the metal.

  • A door ding or shopping-cart dent with no cracked, chipped or scraped paint
  • A shallow dent on a steel or aluminum panel, including Tesla and other EV panels
  • A dented plastic bumper cover, which is a common paintless repair for us
  • Damage that has not been worked on with suction cups, glue kits or another PDR attempt
  • A panel we can reach from behind, or one we can access by safely removing trim

If someone has already tried a DIY kit or bad PDR, the metal may be stretched or pushed too high. That is a common reason we reject a job, so send photos before attempting a repair yourself.

What to expect

A careful repair, priced from the actual damage

Some dings move quickly. Others need patient access work, controlled pushes and repeated checks from the light board.

30 minutes to 6+ hours

The time depends on the dent, the panel and how much access work is needed. We set the expectation from your photos before the appointment.

Priced for the work, not the clock

A proper repair reflects experience, professional tools, setup and the drive to and from your vehicle — not just the minutes the metal is moving.

Aluminum, Tesla and EV panels

We repair aluminum panels and electric vehicles. Aluminum is harder to move than steel, so it takes longer and needs a slower, more controlled repair.

Plastic bumpers: yes, metal: no

We fix dents in plastic bumper covers all the time. Metal bumpers are a different story — they do not respond to paintless repair, so we will tell you honestly when that is the case.

Paint has to be intact

Paintless dent repair does not fix paint damage. If a panel is destroyed, cracked or chipped, we will say so rather than promise a repair PDR cannot deliver.

Door ding questions, answered

Repairs start at $160 for shallow dents or dings one inch or smaller. The final price depends on the dent, the panel and access from behind it, so we quote from photos instead of guessing.
