At Axe-A-Dent, we repair auto dents and paint damage using a number of different tools, materials and techniques. For smaller dent damage, we use a technique called Paintless Dent Repair (PDR). This dent repair technique allows us to massage and manipulate the metal in order to get your vehicle back to its original, pre-damage condition, without the use of fillers or paint. For other major dent damage or collision, we often have to repair the dent with paintless dent repair and then go in and fill the more serious creases in the metal, as well as sand, buff, color match and paint the remaining damage to the paint. The different services needed can effect the price of the overall repair. However, we always determine the repairs needed and the cost before we ever touch your vehicle. We offer FREE estimates, always! Therefore, if you are dealing with dents or dings to your vehicle, scratches to the paint or minor collision and are looking to get a free estimate on the repair cost, give us a call today! 352-455-5994. You can also stop by our auto body shop, located in Wildwood, Florida for more information and an in-person estimate, with no appointment necessary!
