# The Dent People

> Solo-operated mobile paintless dent repair (PDR) service in Nashville, Tennessee. Owned and run by Chris Lee — I come to your location. No shop drop-off. No repainting.

## About

Chris Lee is the sole owner and technician behind The Dent People. This is a one-person mobile business — every estimate, repair, and inspection is done personally by Chris. PDR is a technique that removes dents, dings, and hail damage from vehicle body panels without sanding, body filler, or repainting. Specialized tools are inserted behind the panel to massage the metal back to its original contour. The factory paint is never disturbed, preserving the vehicle's finish and resale value.

## How PDR Works

1. **Assessment** — I evaluate the dent's size, depth, location, and paint condition to confirm it is a good candidate for PDR.
2. **Access & Repair** — Specialized rods and picks are carefully inserted behind the panel to slowly massage the metal back to its original contour without overcorrection.
3. **Final Inspection** — The repaired area is inspected under specialized lighting to ensure a perfect, factory-quality result before I hand the keys back.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How long does a repair take?** Most single-panel repairs are completed in 1–3 hours. Hail damage affecting multiple panels may take a full day.

**Will PDR work on my car?** If the paint is intact and the dent has not stretched the metal beyond recovery, PDR is likely the right option. Submit photos for a free assessment.

**Do I need to bring my car anywhere?** No. I come to your home, office, or any convenient location in Nashville or Middle Tennessee.

**How much does it cost?** Pricing varies by dent size, depth, and location. Estimates are free — send photos to get a quote with no commitment.

**Does PDR affect my car's value?** Because the factory paint is never touched, a proper PDR repair does not reduce resale value. In most cases it improves it.
