Manufacturer certification means the automaker has audited Regal Repair's tooling, technician training and documented repair procedures against its own requirements. BMW, MINI and Tesla work is handled as a specialisation rather than under a manufacturer certification programme, and is labelled that way here. All manufacturer logos and trademarks are the property of their respective owners.

How Long Does Car Dent Repair Take?

Depending on the damage, dent repair can take 1 hour to 4 business days. Regal Repair also offers free shuttle and car pickup/delivery services for your convenience.

Traditional Dent Repair

Traditional Car Dent Removal & Repair

If your vehicle has damaged paint, has been repainted, has been previously repaired or has major dents, then you should consider traditional dent repair.
This process typically includes pulling out the dent, using a body filler to restore the smooth body of your vehicle, sanding it down, matching the paint and repainting.
PDR, Paintless Dent Repair

Paintless Dent Repair

Paintless Dent Repair (PDR), also known as Paintless Dent Removal, is the fastest, most affordable and least intrusive process for vehicle dent repair.
Our technicians are experts in PDR and use the latest state-of-the-art technologies to repair dents without affecting a vehicle’s factory paint job.

Where LA cars actually get dented

After two decades of repairing cars in the Valley and on the Westside, the damage that comes through our door isn't random. It follows the city. Here's where dents happen in Los Angeles, what kind of dent each one leaves, and whether it can usually be fixed without paint.

Street parking on narrow residential blocks

Usually PDR

The side streets off Magnolia, Chandler, and Riverside were laid out for a lot fewer cars than park on them today. Cars sit inches apart overnight, and doors open into doors. This is the single most common dent we see — a shallow, round ding on a door skin, paint completely intact.

Typical dent: car ding · door edge

Subterranean garages and parking structures

Usually needs paint

Tight helical ramps, concrete pillars set too close to the stalls, and low clearance beams. A pillar catches a rear quarter panel as you swing out of a space and drags along it. That produces a creased dent with the paint scraped down to primer — which rules out paintless repair from the start.

Typical dent: creased · scraped paint

Shopping center lots and runaway carts

Usually PDR

Sloped lots plus loose carts is a reliable combination. A cart rolls into a rear door or quarter panel and leaves a sharp dent with a raised ring around it. If the cart hit corner-first the paint may be chipped; if it hit broadside, usually not.

Typical dent: sharp · round

Freeway debris on the 101, 134, 170 and 405

Usually needs paint

Rock kicked up by a truck at 65 mph hits the hood or roof hard enough to stretch the metal and break the finish in the same instant. These look small and are deceptively involved — stretched metal has to be worked back down, and the paint has to be refinished regardless.

Typical dent: sharp · stretched metal · chipped paint

Santa Ana winds and falling branches

Depends on impact

Every wind event brings us hoods and roofs. Palm fronds are heavy enough to leave broad, soft dents; a eucalyptus limb does considerably worse. Damage on the hillside streets is consistently the most severe, and roof dents often need the headliner dropped for access.

Typical dent: round · extreme

Valet stacking and beach-lot parking

Usually PDR

Restaurant valets stack cars tighter than any customer would, and the Westside beach lots pack them bumper to bumper on summer weekends. What comes back is a small dent on a door or fender with no note attached — almost always with the paint untouched.

Typical dent: car ding · bumper scuff

Can't get to us? We offer free vehicle pickup and delivery within 20 miles of our North Hollywood shop, plus a free shuttle — which covers most of the Valley, the Westside, and the 134 corridor. Leave the car where it is and we'll come get it.
