When looking for a Dent Repair in Tampa Florida, you have numerous options.
You can take your vehicle to a body shop and have them repaint it. This process usually takes several days and involves your insurance company along with your premiums for 3-5 years. In the state of Florida, this will also increase your premiums by on average 44%, if you are a safe driver. Insurance companies are not in the habit of losing money.
You can hire a Paintless Dent Repair company if you do not have significant paint loss, for your car dent repair. In most cases, Paintless Dent Repair can achieve perfect results. However, if you take it to a body shop or a commercial shop, they will reject the most advanced repairs. There are specific, high-quality technicians, that handle extremely complex damage to virtual perfect results, like Paul Whitehorn of Dent Repair USA. Every month, we fix dents that body shops say cannot be repaired. I have hundreds of HD videos and numbers photos of before and after, so you can see the results for yourself.
You can attempt to have a mobile painter to work on the vehicle in your driveway. This option is not legal in the state of Florida unless they are only spraying less than 6oz, which isn’t enough to do a job over the size of your hand and blend. There is a reason that the EPA has set restrictions on body shops to ensure they emit less than .1% of contaminates into the open air. I know we blow a lot of this stuff off, but these heavy metals have real consequences for the elderly and especially pregnant women. So you may get your fender panted on your fender, but your neighbor's daughter who is pregnant, asleep in her room breathing these contaminates in, is a high risk for a miscarriage. Furthermore, the work is often performed by fly-by-night operations that don’t have a place to leave a review. They do this because they know the work they perform is subpar.
Damage on your vehicle can create hidden safety risks to sensors even with minor dents, so be cautious when looking at repair service. Most paintless dent removals on small dents can save you time and money, but don't do so over the safety of your vehicle. This is why it is so critical when looking for a dent company, always ask if they are going to scan your vehicle's codes.
