How to Prepare Your Vehicle for a PDR Appointment

Wash the car

A clean panel reveals every dent under the light board. Saves your tech 15 minutes of cleaning.

Trim removal may require accessing headliner, door cards, or trunk. Clear the cabin and trunk.

Roof racks, ladder bars, bug deflectors — anything blocking panel access.

Have the claim number, adjuster's name and contact info, and your policy declarations page ready.

For multi-day jobs, arrange a rental (insurance covers it) or ask the shop about loaner cars. Many Dallas PDR shops offer pickup and drop-off.

Photos of the damage and any pre-existing issues you want documented before drop-off.
