WHAT KIND OF DENT IS IT?
Pick the situation that best describes your dent to see the recommended repair path.
Small dings where the paint is intact—often from parking lots or door impacts.
When the dent has cracked/removed paint or exposed primer/metal.
Severe creasing or stretched metal where proper repair isn’t feasible.
OPTION 1
For small dents with intact paint, PDR gently massages the metal from behind the panel to restore its original shape—no fillers or repainting. It’s the ideal method to maintain your factory finish and value.

OPTION 2
When paint is cracked, chipped, or missing, we correct the dent, level the surface, and refinish using your OEM paint code, then blend clear coat for an invisible transition. Refinished areas include a Lifetime Warranty.

OPTION 3
For severe creases, stretched metal, or structural stress near edges and body lines, panel replacement is the proper fix. We install certified or genuine parts, align to factory tolerances, and refinish to match surrounding panels.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"Had a nasty door dent on my Audi Q5 from a parking lot incident. I was worried it would need expensive bodywork, but LK Auto used PDR and it looks absolutely perfect – you'd never know there was a dent. Fast service, fair price, and Manny was great to deal with. Highly recommend for anyone in Scarborough or The Beaches area!"

Car dent repair in Scarborough typically costs $100-$300 for PDR (paintless dent repair), $300-$600 for dents with paint damage requiring bodywork, and $500-$800+ for severe damage needing panel replacement. We provide free estimates so you know the exact cost before we begin.
PDR is a technique that removes dents by massaging the metal back into shape from behind the panel. It works on dents where the paint is still intact, preserves your factory finish, requires no fillers or repainting, and is faster and more affordable than traditional bodywork.
PDR for minor dents typically takes 1-3 hours and is often same-day. Bodywork and paint for dents with paint damage takes 2-4 days. Panel replacement for severe damage may take 3-5 days depending on parts availability.
No, PDR only works when the paint is intact and the metal isn't creased or stretched beyond repair. If paint is cracked, chipped, or missing, or if the dent has sharp creases, traditional bodywork and paint is required. We'll honestly assess your dent and recommend the best approach.
Yes, all refinished panels (bodywork and paint repairs) come with a Lifetime Warranty for as long as you own the vehicle. This covers peeling, fading, and workmanship defects. PDR repairs are guaranteed for the quality of the work performed.
Yes, we work with all major insurance companies in Ontario. For larger dents requiring bodywork or panel replacement, insurance often covers the repair. For smaller PDR repairs, many customers pay out-of-pocket since the cost is often below typical deductibles.
