Paintless Dent Repair: Fix Dings Fast
Paintless dent repair (also called
paintless dent removal) moves metal back to shape without fillers or repainting.Technicians guide slender rods behind the panel and lift dents in tiny increments.
Factory paint stays untouched, so color matching is automatic.
Key Benefits
- Costs less than traditional body work.
- Typical turnaround is two to four hours.
- Eco-friendly because no solvent or filler is used.
- Original corrosion protection remains intact.
Door dings from Stanfield lots and hail strikes near Oakboro rarely need new paint. PDR returns panels to factory smoothness and keeps resale value high.
Ceramic Coating: Shield and Shine
Sunlight, acid rain, and bird droppings fade clear coat over time. Our premium
ceramic coating bonds with paint to form a 9H-hard shell. It resists chemicals, blocks UV, and delivers a wet gloss that lasts years.
Why Ceramic Beats Wax
- Hydrophobic surface makes washing quick and easy.
- No need to reapply every month like wax.
- Protects against oxidation common on NC highways.
We prep each vehicle with deep decontamination and light polishing. Infrared curing locks the coating before you leave the bay. Customers from Mount Pleasant often bundle PDR and ceramic the same day.
Precision Paint Touch-Ups: Small Flaws, Big Impact
Stone chips and thin scratches invite rust if left exposed. Our
paint touch-up process seals those openings with color-matched paint and clear coat. We use manufacturer codes and blend edges to stay invisible.
Bullet Facts
- Tackles chips smaller than a dime.
- Stops corrosion before it starts.
- Improves appearance without full panel respray.
Touch-ups pair well with ceramic coating because sealed chips bond better under the coating.
Headlight Restoration: See and Be Seen
Cloudy headlights reduce night vision and date even new cars. We wet-sand oxidation, machine polish lenses, and apply a UV clear coat. Light output can improve by fifty percent or more in measured tests.
Benefits at a Glance
- Brighter beams mean safer night driving.
- Clear lenses boost curb appeal instantly.
- Costs far less than new assemblies.
Many Concord commuters restore headlights before winter’s early sunsets.
