Paintless and painted repair · Al Quoz 4
Restore door dings, body-line creases, parking dents, bumper damage, and distorted panels with a repair chosen for the metal, paint condition, access, and final finish. We inspect the damage first, compare paintless dent repair with conventional body repair, and issue a written estimate before work begins.
Free workshop inspection and free pickup and delivery are available. Dedicated on-site inspection terms are confirmed separately.
Choose the least invasive suitable repair
The cheapest method is not always the best value. The correct choice depends on whether the paint is intact, how sharply the metal is stretched, the panel material, access behind the dent, nearby edges and body lines, previous filler, and damage to mounts or internal parts.
PDR reshapes eligible metal without sanding or repainting. It suits many shallow dings and soft creases when factory paint remains flexible and technicians can reach or safely pull the affected area.
Benefit: preserves the existing finish and usually reduces repair time.
Not suitable when: paint is split, metal is sharply stretched, an edge is crushed, or previous filler blocks controlled movement.
The panel is reshaped, prepared, primed, color matched, and refinished. This route suits dents with paint damage, deeper creases, scraped surfaces, and repairs that need controlled filling or corrosion protection.
Benefit: restores both panel shape and damaged coating.
Price variables: repair area, material, preparation, color, blending, trim removal, and hidden damage.
Replacement is considered when the panel is torn, heavily stretched, structurally damaged, uneconomical to reshape, or unable to achieve a dependable fit. Genuine, original-equipment-equivalent, aftermarket, or used parts have different availability and condition.
Benefit: provides a sound base when repair cannot restore the panel correctly.
Also consider: mounting points, seals, trim, sensors, paint, and alignment with adjoining panels.
Estimated body shop costs
These market-based estimates support planning. The final price varies by model, panel material, dent size and depth, paint condition, access, body-line involvement, trim removal, sensor or wiring work, paint system, and related damage. The written quote confirms labor, materials, outside services, exclusions, and VAT treatment.
| Damage and repair | Estimated price | Usually included | What changes the total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small accessible PDR ding | AED 350–750 per dent | Lighting assessment, controlled reshaping, and finish check | Access, dent depth, edge position, and body line |
| Medium PDR crease | AED 650–1,500 per panel | Access preparation, gradual metal movement, and reflection check | Length, sharpness, stretched metal, trim removal, and aluminum |
| Painted door or fender repair | AED 1,100–2,800 per panel | Reshaping, surface preparation, paint materials, refinishing, and reassembly | Color, blending, panel size, previous repair, and coating damage |
| Bumper dent and repaint | AED 900–2,200 | Removal where needed, plastic repair, preparation, paint, and refitting | Tears, brackets, sensors, textured trim, and hidden reinforcement damage |
| Panel replacement and paint | AED 2,500–7,500+ | Selected panel, fitting, preparation, painting, alignment, and refitting | Genuine or alternative part, aluminum work, trim, seals, electronics, and blending |
| Multi-panel parking damage | AED 2,800–9,000+ | Approved repair across affected panels with paint and assembly scope stated | Number of panels, structure, lamps, glass, wheels, sensors, and calibration |
Equivalent-scope comparison: pricing can be about 65% to 70% below agency pricing when panel method, parts, materials, blending, dismantling, calibration, and completed result are equivalent. A paint-only quote is not comparable with a complete repair.
Start with the visible damage
Send a full side view, a closer image of the dent, and an angled view that shows reflections across the panel. Photos can help us identify the affected panel and discuss whether PDR may be worth inspecting. They cannot confirm access behind the dent, hidden stretching, cracked clear coat, previous filler, or damage beneath trim.
A free workshop inspection remains the dependable way to choose the method. We check the paint under suitable lighting, feel panel edges and body lines, review access, and look for movement at hinges, catches, brackets, trims, lamps, or sensors. If the dent followed an impact near a wheel, door opening, pillar, lamp, or bumper reinforcement, related mechanical and safety checks may be recommended.
What we inspect
A shallow parking ding may be limited to the visible skin. A deeper strike can move an inner frame, mounting point, door beam, hinge, latch, bracket, lamp, wheel-arch liner, camera, parking sensor, or wiring. The inspection follows the location and force of the damage rather than assuming every dent is cosmetic.
We separate visible bodywork from additional repairs in the estimate. This lets you understand what restores appearance, what protects corrosion resistance, and what is needed for correct opening, closing, lighting, sensing, or wheel clearance.
When paint is required
The paint code is a starting point, not the only input. Existing finish, age, fading, previous repair, panel position, metallic or pearl orientation, preparation color, spray technique, and adjoining-panel appearance influence the final match. We inspect the finish and explain whether local refinishing or blending is appropriate.
Preparation should remove damaged coating, restore the surface, protect exposed metal, and create a stable base for primer, color, and clear coat. Trims, handles, lamps, moldings, and seals may need removal for a clean edge and correct reassembly. The quote should state whether those steps are included.
After curing and reassembly, the panel is checked for shape, color, texture, gloss, dust, masking edges, gaps, trim fit, and operation of disturbed equipment. The vehicle is cleaned around the repair before handover.
Typical job estimates

Estimated total: AED 1,700–2,900.
Typical job estimate
Damage: dented rear door and adjoining quarter-panel scrape.
Work: two-panel shaping, preparation, refinishing and blending decision, trim removal, reassembly, and gap check.
Parts condition: panels remain repairable; hidden bracket damage is separate.
Estimated total: AED 3,200–5,600.
From inspection to handover
Send the affected panel and preferred visit or pickup details. Photos are useful but optional.
We review shape, coating, material, access, edges, body lines, previous repair, and nearby equipment.
You receive the practical PDR, panel-repair, or replacement choice with the expected finish and limitations explained.
The quote lists labor, selected parts, preparation, paint materials, blending, dismantling, outside services, exclusions, and VAT treatment.
The approved metal or plastic work is completed, followed by coating work and reassembly where required.
We review reflections, color, texture, panel gaps, trim, opening functions, sensors, lamps, and cleanliness relevant to the repair.
Before and after repair
A fresh dent should be inspected before repeated pushing, pulling, heat, suction, or improvised tools stretch the metal or damage the coating. Keep the area clean and avoid aggressive polishing over cracked paint or exposed metal. If a door, hood, or tailgate no longer closes securely, do not force it. A displaced edge can damage adjoining panels, glass, seals, locks, or wiring.
At handover, view the repair from more than one angle and under useful lighting. Check panel gaps, handles, locks, windows, powered openings, lamps, cameras, parking sensors, and trims that were removed. Painted areas need the care instructions provided for the completed coating. Do not assume every polish, film, ceramic product, or pressure-washing method is immediately suitable.
Keep the written work details with the vehicle history. They identify repaired or replaced panels, paint scope, parts, and any related calibration or mechanical work. If a warning, water leak, wind noise, rubbing, or panel movement appears after the repair, arrange a prompt review instead of allowing secondary damage to develop.
Model and panel differences
Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Velar, Evoque, Discovery, Discovery Sport, and Defender models combine different panel materials, trim, sensors, and powered components. We match the repair method to the exact damaged area instead of assuming one method suits every model.
Large flat doors and quarter panels can show subtle waves after incomplete work, while sharp styling lines need controlled metal movement. Aluminum requires suitable tools and contamination control. Plastic or composite bumper parts need material-specific reshaping and secure tabs or brackets.
Damage near a mirror, bumper, grille, windscreen, or tailgate may involve cameras, radar, ultrasonic sensors, wiring, or powered components. The quote separates cosmetic work from any testing, aiming, coding, or calibration that the repair actually requires.
Existing filler, mismatched paint, corrosion, brittle clips, altered trim, or stretched metal can change the method and expected finish. We identify these conditions before expanding the work so you can approve the appropriate repair.
Your written estimate: It should identify each affected panel, repair or replacement choice, selected part condition, trim removal, paint materials, blending area, and relevant equipment checks. PDR should preserve suitable original paint. Painted repair should restore the coating and panel shape. Replacement should restore fit, secure mounting, sealing, clearance, and adjoining panel gaps.
Direct answers
No. PDR needs suitable paint, metal movement, dent shape, and access. Split paint, sharply stretched metal, crushed edges, previous filler, or structural damage can require conventional repair or replacement.
Small PDR work is commonly estimated at AED 350 to 750 per dent, medium PDR at AED 650 to 1,500 per panel, and a painted panel repair at AED 1,100 to 2,800. Replacement and multi-panel damage cost more.
The paint code, existing finish, fading, color type, panel position, preparation, and blending decision are considered. The written scope explains which panels receive color or blending work.
Yes. Photos can support an initial conversation and visit plan. The final repair method and price require inspection because access, paint cracks, previous filler, and hidden damage may not be visible.
We inspect the actual panel material and damage before proposing a method. Aluminum requires suitable tools, controlled movement, contamination care, and different repair judgment from conventional steel.
A straightforward PDR job may be completed promptly when access and capacity allow. Painted repair needs preparation, coating, curing, reassembly, and quality checks. Multiple panels, parts, or hidden damage increase the time.
Yes. Free pickup and delivery is available across Dubai. A dedicated on-site inspection can also be discussed, with its terms confirmed separately. Workshop equipment is required for most body repair.
The model, affected panel, short damage description, and preferred visit or pickup are enough to begin. Photos and the VIN may be requested later when they help assess damage or source a part.
Restore the panel with the right method
Send the model and damaged panel or book a free workshop inspection. We will compare paintless repair, conventional panel repair, and replacement where relevant, then provide a written estimate before approved work begins.
