Dent Repair in Tampa, FL — Paintless & Traditional Methods
Introduction
Dents happen — whether from a parking lot collision, a falling object, hail, or a door ding. At Infinity Collision, we provide professional dent repair in Tampa for dents of all sizes and locations on your vehicle. Our technicians select the right repair method based on the size, depth, and location of the damage.
Paintless Dent Repair (PDR)
For minor dents and dings where the paint is intact, paintless dent repair is the fastest and most cost-effective method. Our technicians use specialized tools to carefully massage the dented metal back to its original shape from behind the panel — without any filler, primer, or paint. PDR preserves your original factory paint finish and is ideal for hail damage, small parking lot dings, and minor door dents.
Traditional Dent Repair
For larger dents, creases, or damage where the paint has cracked or the metal is stretched, traditional dent repair is used. This involves carefully pulling or pushing the panel back to shape, applying filler where needed, sanding to a smooth surface, and repainting to match your vehicle's exact color. The result is indistinguishable from the original panel.

FAQs
Q: What is paintless dent repair (PDR)?
A: PDR is a technique where technicians use specialized tools to gently push or massage dents out from the back of the panel without removing any paint or using filler. It works best on minor dents where the paint is not cracked or chipped.
Q: Can all dents be fixed with paintless dent repair?
A: No. PDR works best on small to medium dents with no paint damage. Larger dents, sharp creases, or dents near panel edges require traditional repair methods. We'll assess your dent and recommend the right approach.
Q: How much does dent repair cost?
A: Small PDR repairs can start around $75–$150 per dent. Larger traditional repairs vary based on panel size and severity. We provide free written estimates.
Q: Will a dent repair affect my car's resale value?
A: A properly performed dent repair should not negatively affect resale value. In fact, removing visible dents typically increases the vehicle's market value significantly.
