Paintless Dent Repair Services

Welcome to 821 Collision!

We’re your go-to auto collision center, specializing in top-notch paintless dent repair services. 

What is Paintless Dent Repair (PDR)?
Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) is an innovative method that eliminates dents and dings from your vehicle’s body panels without harming the original paint finish. It’s incredibly effective for fixing minor dents caused by hail, door dings, small creases, and other minor impacts.

How Does PDR Work?
The skilled technicians at 821 Collision employ a precise and meticulous process for performing paintless dent repair. This method involves the following five key steps:

821 Collision - PDR
1. Assessment

First, our experienced technicians assess the damage to determine if the dent is suitable for PDR. Generally, PDR is best suited for shallow dents without sharp creases or paint damage.

2. Accessing the Dent

Our technicians gain access to the backside of the dent by removing body panels, tail lights, or inner liners if necessary. This allows them to reach the dent from behind and apply precise pressure to massage the dent out.

3. Gentle Massaging

Using specialized tools and techniques, our experts gently massage the dent from the inside out. This process requires a skilled hand and keen eye to ensure that the dent is gradually and accurately pushed back into its original position.

4. Maintaining Paint Integrity

One of the most significant advantages of PDR is that it preserves your vehicle’s original factory paint. This means you won’t have to worry about color matching or paint blending, and your vehicle will retain its value and factory finish.

5. Quality Assurance

Once the dent is carefully massaged out, our technicians meticulously inspect the area to ensure that the repair is seamless and flawless. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we won’t rest until your vehicle looks as good as new.

Outstanding experience with Pete at 821 Collision. Our 2023 Lexus ES 300h Ultra Luxury was hit by a pickup truck while parked in a parking lot, which was an incredibly frustrating and stressful situation to deal with. Pete was an absolute professional and a true advocate for us. Given the advanced tech and build of the Lexus, we wanted a shop with Lexus certification, and 821 Collision delivered. When navigating the insurance process became complicated, Pete kept us informed every step of the way. His transparency, regular updates, and guidance through the insurance back-and-forth gave us immense peace of mind. It’s rare to find an auto body shop with this level of integrity and customer care. Highly recommended!

Professional, caring, CLEAR explanations - and my truck returned on time, looking like it did before it was rear ended. Could not be happier with the end product or the service. A Five Star Team (wish I could give more) ! Just was back ... the rear window was leaking. Dealer had the truck for over 4 months could not help. 821 repaired the leaking window, replaced the moldy carpets and gave the truck back in ONE WEEK. These guys are the ROCKSTARS of their business. CANNOT RECOMMEND HIGHLY ENOUGH. They are people of their word, and their work is world class.

I brought my car here for repair after an accident. The insurance company ended up declaring the vehicle a total loss. Pete and Ken were incredibly communicative throughout the process and helped me work through nightmare that is dealing with an insurance company. I appreciated all of the help throughout the process and would recommend them!

I had an excellent experience with 821 Collision after my Lexus ES 350 was involved in a hit and run accident. Because the car is a Lexus, I wanted a Lexus-certified body shop, so I checked the Lexus website and found only a handful of certified shops in New Jersey. 821 Collision stood out as one of the highest-rated, so I called them. Pete took my information, called me back, and was very honest from the beginning. He told me he could not take the car immediately because the shop was busy and he does not like to take too many cars at the same time. He explained that he prefers to do the job carefully and precisely, which I respected. When he was ready, he told us to bring the car in and even helped organize the rental through our insurance, including having the rental office send a car to pick us up from his shop. At first, the damage looked like small dents, scratches, and scuffs on the fender and bumper, but Pete and his team did a very thorough inspection. They disassembled the affected areas, checked underneath the visible damage, inspected the safety components, sensors, headlights, and the wheel/rim area. My car has expensive Lexus triple-beam headlights and advanced safety features, so I appreciated that they took the time to make sure everything was repaired correctly and safely. Pete was an excellent communicator from start to finish. Once he received the car, he handled the insurance process, completed the supplemental work with insurance, and ordered OEM parts directly from Lexus. The car was put back together to Lexus standards, the color match looked excellent under the light, and everything felt solid and factory correct. When we picked up the car, Pete explained everything clearly and the car was cleaned and ready. This shop is not the cheapest, but the quality, professionalism, communication, and attention to detail are worth it. Pete and his team deserve their reputation as one of the best body shops in the area. I highly recommend 821 Collision if you want the job done the right way.
