At Peruzzi Collision Center, we know the frustration of having a dent in your car that sticks out like a sore thumb. Dents can look unappealing and affect the value of your vehicle. The pressing question on your mind right now is probably, “How to get a dent out of a car?” Thankfully, our expert team can help answer your question with our guide below.
Using a Dent Puller
While it’s best to trust a professional with car dents, for small dents, you can go the DIY route with a dent puller kit. To use this device, follow these steps:
- Wash and dry the dented area to ensure a good grip for the pulling mechanism.
- Glue a pulling tab from the kit onto the clean, dry dent.
- When the grip is secure, screw the slide hammer attachment onto the pulling tab and gently pull the dent outward. Be careful not to pull too hard or too quickly, as you can create a reverse dent.
For a Bigger Job, Call the Professionals
While dent puller kits can be a handy solution for minor imperfections, more significant and deeper dents require a professional touch. Certified technicians have the expertise and tools to access dents from behind panels, a feat nearly impossible for DIY methods. Our technicians can also use paintless dent repair techniques to remove dents without affecting the original paint job. This kind of repair saves you time and money compared to a traditional body shop repair.
