Missouri Dent Werks

  • Can you fix a dent even if it is on a convex or intricate part of the door?

    Yes. At Missouri Dent Werks, we're typically able to repair dents on convex or intricate door panels using paintless dent repair when the paint remains intact and we can access behind the panel. For very sharp creases, extensive damage, or areas with limited access, traditional repair methods might be necessary. We'll carefully evaluate your vehicle and suggest the most effective approach for your specific situation. Contact us to arrange an inspection and receive a detailed estimate.
  • If the paint is cracked or broken can you still fix the dent?

    Yes. When paint is cracked or broken, we can still effectively repair the dent, though our approach will differ. Paintless dent repair is only suitable when the paint surface remains intact. For damaged paint, we'll utilize conventional body repair techniques that may include careful panel repair or replacement combined with professional paint matching to restore your vehicle's original finish. Reach out to Missouri Dent Werks to schedule a comprehensive inspection and receive an accurate estimate.
  • Can you fix a dent in aluminum?

    Yes. We're experienced in repairing dents in aluminum panels, though it's important to note that aluminum responds differently than steel and requires specialized tools and techniques. If your vehicle has intact paint and we can access behind the panel, paintless dent repair may be possible. For situations with cracked paint or severe damage, we'll need to apply conventional body repair methods or consider panel replacement. Contact Missouri Dent Werks today to arrange an inspection and receive a personalized estimate.
  • Are you licensed and insured?
