I've been in the Vehicle Body Repair industry for more than 20 years and for the last 10 years I've Specialised in Paintless Dent Removal aka PDR
In 2001 I completed my 3 year apprenticeship in vehicle body repair, I then went on to complete levels 1 & 2 in removing and installing vehicle components. I was keen to discover more so I ventured in to the role of 'vehicle damage assessor' and this opened my eyes up to a whole world of repair methods, and damage assessment.
In 2006 I decided to specialise in mobile vehicle body repair. I set up my first cosmetic vehicle repair company 'TDL Repair' carrying out both dent repair and scratch repair services in and around Reading, Berkshire. Over the next 15 years I grew my business and also my understanding of the motor industry and how best to serve my clients.
In 2021 I moved to Torrington, North Devon and now operate as a mobile dent repair technician repairing vehicle dent damage with paintless dent removal tools and techniques. I love my work and my customers so I am looking forward to this next chapter!

PDR stands for ‘Paint-less Dent Removal’
It is a repair technique that involves removing a dent from a vehicle’s bodywork without any fillers or paintwork. If the paintwork is still intact, it is possible to fully remove most dent damage and reshape the panel back to its original form.
Why is this important?
There is no better paint finish than when your car first comes out of the factory, PDR reverses the dent damage and gently restores the panel back to its original shape whilst maintaining the original paint finish and manufactures lifetime paint warranty. PDR keeps your vehicle original.
PDR is also 'green' process, this means there is virtually no waste material produced from our repair work unlike bodyshops that use a combination of filler, primer, paint, lacquer and various consumables that can produce unnecessary waste for our environment.
Increase The Resale Value Of Your Car
Not only do these dents catch your eye every time you get in and out of your vehicle and spoil your own pride and joy but they can also heavily reduce the value when you come to sell or part exchange your car.
Using specially designed tools and state-of-the-art PDR techniques we can carefully remove these imperfections. Each dent is meticulously repaired from the inside out. We can return your car’s panels to their original shape. Dent removal without damaging the paint means you car remains original.
