Door Ding Repair: How It’s Done

Minor door dings can occur due to careless parking, crowded spaces, or inadvertent bumps. While seemingly inconsequential, they can lead to immediate and long-term damage. In the short term, these dings can damage the paint, creating unsightly scratches and chips that compromise the vehicle's aesthetics.


In our industry, we see a variety of dings and dents, classified as:

  • Crease dents
  • Round dents
  • Sharp dings
  • Bodyline dents
  • Impact dents
  • Bumper dents
  • Edge dents
  • …and more


Over time, if left unaddressed, moisture and corrosion can set in, accelerating the deterioration and potentially leading to rust and structural weaknesses. Therefore, it’s crucial to address these minor dings promptly to maintain the vehicle’s appearance and prevent further deterioration. That’s where our team—and paintless dent repair—comes in.


When our work is finished, your vehicle’s door will look just like new. Connect with us to learn more about what we can do to save you time and money.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

As always Don and his team meticulously fixed a very tricky dent along a sharp body line of my car. It was done perfectly. am always amazed at the craftsmanship, friendly environment, very, very fair pricing and even a work office while I wait! I am a “car guy” and have been going to Dent Kraft for over 25 years! I will trust my cars with no one else but Dent Kraft. Believe me, they are the best.

Don, Kim and the crew were absolutely amazing. They worked with me and the insurance company to get my truck up and running as quickly as possible. They called with updates often and kept me in the loop throughout the entire process. My truck was hit with baseball sized hail and it came back looking brand new again. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone. Top notch service.

Brandon P.

My husband and I are very thankful for a friend's recommendation to get my car fixed at Dent Kraft. Owner Don did a superb job. He went above and beyond all expectations, and at such a reasonable cost. Don and his General Manager wife, Kim, bring exceptionally positive energy, high standards, and outstanding service to their business. It's obvious Don cares deeply about all he does. And his three-and-a-half decades of experience make him a master craftsman. Harold Klemp once wrote, "Service to others is a natural outpouring of one's love for life." Don and Kim exemplify this quote to the fullest. --Jerry & Mary, very grateful Dent Kraft customers.

Dent Kraft is the ultimate place to have door dings removed. Their competition could give a ball park price and not a guarantee on workmanship. Don at dent Kraft not only provided excellent craftsmanship but competitive price and turnaround. Great place to have work done. My 2015 mustang GT looks showroom perfect!

Steve F.

I had an outstanding experience with Don and his team at Dent Kraft. My new GMC Canyon AT4X got dinged on the door by flying metal debris on the interstate and left an annoying dent. I drove into Dent Kraft on a Monday to get an estimate and got one right away and also made an appointment for two days later. Fixed the door ding while I waited in their very spacious and comfortable upstairs "loft" -- even did a couple of Zoom meetings for work. Great outcome and a very reasonable price! Can't recommend Dent Kraft enough...

Jim R.

Contacted DentKraft with a difficult door dent and spoke with Don who was great. Emailed photos of the dent to him and he called me with a detailed description of what they normally do, what they would try to do with my dent, and what to expect. Decided to go forward with what was estimated for time and price. Had the repair done in a day and was very satisfied with their work. I wouldn't hesitate to bring my car back for future PDR needs.

Joseph L.

This is the best place for paintless dent repair. I got a dent in my new car and stopped by for an estimate and the owner Don greeted me and was super helpful. Got an appointment the next day. Turns out I knew Don from when I worked at a dealership back in the 90’s as he worked fixing dents on cars in the used car lot. He did exceptional work and that has only gotten better now! You can’t even tell where the dent was! If have dents, take your car or SUV to Dent Kraft! You will not be disappointed!

John H.

Have been a customer since they were located in Minnetonka. Had occasion today to use them again for a nasty dent in my motorcycles gas tank. As always, they made it vanish without a trace! Fair pricing, great waiting area, friendly and fun team. Why go anywhere else?

Mark R.

I wanted to share my outstanding experience with Dent Kraft. My wife and I had unfortunately parked too close to another car and we had gotten a sizable door ding in our new vehicle. Don took care of the ding and we can't even see where the damage was on the vehicle previously. My experience with both Don and Kim was exceptional and I highly recommend this business. Thanks for doing a great job for us! Regards, Rick

Rick D.

I am so impressed with this business. I stopped by to ask a question, and at no charge the owner Don partially fixed an issue with my car and showed me the resources I need to finish the job (it’s something that can’t be fully addressed with paintless dent repair). He was courteous, incredibly helpful, and very generous with his time and expertise.

Specializing in Paintless Dent Repair

Paintless dent repair (PDR) services are revolutionary for car owners dealing with unsightly dents. This innovative technique involves skillfully massaging and manipulating dented areas from behind—without the need for paint or fillers. PDR restores the vehicle’s original appearance and preserves its factory finish.


Paintless dent repair (PDR) is highly effective for addressing various types of door damages, including:

Small Dings

PDR is particularly suited for repairing small dings caused by minor impacts, like those from door-to-door collisions, shopping carts, or accidental bumps. These shallow dents can often be successfully restored without the need for repainting.

Hail Damage

PDR is commonly employed to repair hail damage on vehicle doors. Hail dents, typically small and numerous, can be skillfully removed using PDR techniques, restoring the smooth surface without compromising the original paint finish.

Creases

While creases can be more challenging to repair, skilled PDR technicians like us can often work on them successfully. We can gradually massage the metal back to its original position using specialized tools and techniques, minimizing or eliminating the crease.

Shallow Depressions

PDR effectively addresses shallow depressions on door panels caused by various factors. By accessing the dent from behind and meticulously manipulating the metal, we restore the panel’s surface to its pre-damaged condition.

Door Edge Dents

Paintless dent repair can also fix dents on the edges of doors. Our technicians will carefully access and reshape the metal to remove the dent without disturbing the door’s overall alignment or finish.

Established in 1991, our paintless dent removal company has been at the forefront of the industry since its inception. Our timing couldn’t have been better, since just two years later, in 1993, the Twin Cities experienced a massive hailstorm wreaking havoc on countless vehicles.

Avoid Color Mismatch With Dent Repair

Finding the right color of paint for your vehicle is always a challenge. Automotive paint colors can have slight variations even within the same make and model, making it hard to match your vehicle's paint even if you’ve found a trusted brand. Factors like manufacturing batch, paint supplier, and application technique can contribute to these subtle differences. Repainting a damaged area without considering these variations can lead to color mismatch.

We understand the importance of maintaining the original paint finish of your vehicle. Here, our skilled auto-body technicians use their expertise to carefully manipulate and massage the metal from behind, eliminating the need for repainting. This approach eliminates the risk of color variations that can occur with traditional bodywork.


By preserving your vehicle’s factory paint, we ensure the repaired area seamlessly blends with the rest of the surface, leaving no noticeable traces of the previous damage. With our PDR services, you can have peace of mind knowing your dent repairs will be flawlessly executed without any color mismatch concerns.
