High Sierra Dent Company explains what’s possible.
One of the most common questions we get at High Sierra Dent Company is whether paintless dent repair (PDR) works on aluminum panels. The short answer? Yes — it absolutely can.
Aluminum can be repaired using the same tools and process as steel, but it behaves differently during the repair. While aluminum is softer than steel, it often requires more precise pressure and a longer push before you start seeing results. In my experience, you have to work the dent farther to bring the panel back to its original shape without damaging the metal or paint.
We’ve been working with aluminum panels since the very beginning — nearly 30 years — and have successfully repaired hoods, tailgates, liftgates, and doors on vehicles of all kinds. Not all PDR shops are confident working on aluminum, but we do it every week. If your panel qualifies for PDR, we’ll fix it. And if it doesn’t, we’ll be honest about that too.
