Common quoting problems in dent repair work
- Photos hide how deep a dent is. Glare and camera angle make dents look smaller or larger, so a photo price can be off without the right shots.
- Body line dents get priced like dings. A dent on a crease or body line takes much longer, and quoting it as a simple ding loses money.
- Some dents won't come out fully. Stretched metal or stressed paint may leave a mark, and a client who expected perfect can refuse to pay.
- Customers send photos to several techs. People often ask a few shops at once, so a slow reply usually loses the job.

What changes the price of a dent repair job
The factors that most often change the price, and the reason the form asks about them.
- Size and depth
- Many technicians price by size, with deeper dents costing more. A shallow ding is quick, while a sharp, deep dent can take much longer.
- Location on the panel
- Dents on body lines, panel edges or near braces are harder to reach. Roof rails and quarter panels can need trim or headliner removal.
- Panel material
- Aluminum and high-strength steel are stiffer than mild steel, and many techs charge more for them.
- Creases and collision damage
- Long creases and stretched metal take more time than round dings and may not come out fully with PDR.
- Paint condition
- If the paint is cracked or chipped, the job may need body work and refinishing, or a touch-up after the PDR.
- Hail damage
- Hail jobs are often priced per panel by dent count and size, and many go through insurance.
- Access and trim removal
- Removing and reinstalling tail lights, liners or interior trim to reach the back of the panel adds time.

Deposits and payment terms for dent repair jobs
Many mobile dent repair technicians don't take a deposit on single-dent jobs and are paid when the repair is done. Deposits or written authorization are more common for large hail jobs, insurance work and cars that stay with you for days. Since some dents won't come out perfectly, a line in your terms about expected results protects both sides.

Common questions
How much should a paintless dent repair cost?
Prices vary by size, location and access. A single small ding often costs around $75 to $200 with a mobile tech, while dents on body lines or hail damage across several panels can run into the thousands. Most techs give a firm price after seeing clear photos or the car.
How much do PDR guys charge per dent?
Many price the first dent at a base rate by size and charge less for each extra dent on the same panel, since the setup is already done. Location, depth and panel material change the price. In Quote Falcon you can list each dent as its own line and mark extras as optional.
Will insurance pay for PDR?
Often, for hail and other covered damage, depending on the policy and the deductible. Small single dents are usually paid out of pocket because the repair costs less than the deductible. Your form asks whether the job is going through insurance, but the claim itself is handled with the insurer, not in Quote Falcon.
Can I quote dent repairs from photos?
Yes, for most dents. Ask for two or three angled photos with a reflection across the dent, and your form takes up to 10. It also asks the size of the biggest dent and whether the paint is cracked. If it looks different in person, update the quote and the client approves it.
What if the dent won't come out completely?
Say so in your terms before work starts, for example that stretched metal or stressed paint may leave a slight mark. Clients agree to your terms when they accept, and that is recorded with the job. You can also add before and after photos to the job as a record.
Can I add another dent I spot on site?
Yes. Edit the quote to add a line and send it. The client approves the higher total by signing the new version on their phone, or signs on yours with a finger using Sign now. Then you carry on with the repair knowing the price is agreed.
