Can PDR Fix Aluminum Body Panels? Yes—Here’s How We Do It
If you drive a high-end or luxury vehicle—such as a Tesla, Audi, BMW, Jaguar, or Land Rover—there’s a good chance your car features aluminum body panels. These panels are becoming more common across premium automotive brands due to their lightweight nature, corrosion resistance, and contribution to improved fuel efficiency and performance.
However, when it comes to repairing dents or dings, aluminum behaves quite differently than traditional steel. Many vehicle owners aren’t sure whether aluminum panels can be repaired using Paintless Dent Repair (PDR)—a method that preserves the original paint and finish. The good news is: yes, aluminum can be repaired with PDR. But it requires specialized tools, training, and experience.
