What is the average paintless dent repair cost?
I’m comparing quotes for some body work on my car. I got into a minor accident but my mechanic thinks most of the damage can be fixed with paintless dent repair. What is the average paintless dent repair cost?

The average paintless dent repair cost is about $150, depending on the damage.
If your car has a very small dent or ding, you might pay between $50 to $125. Larger dents will cost more—and luxury vehicles or complex vehicles require more time to repair. Plus, some mechanics charge more, depending on labor rates in your area. It would not be unusual to pay about $200 per panel in a major city.
The good news is that you don’t even need to visit a specialty body shop to get paintless dent repair (PDR), as the average auto shop can perform this repair. Note that PDR is only for dents and not for paint damage.
You’re wise to get quotes from multiple shops. How else will you know if you’re paying the lowest price? Apply the same strategy to your
