Caropractors Team

The Caropractors Team is Edmonton's paintless dent repair crew — founded by auto brokers who couldn't find dent repair good enough for their own inventory, so they built it themselves around a PDR master craftsman with decades of hands-on experience. The team restored 180+ hail-damaged vehicles last season, rated 4.8 stars and up on every job. We write about hail damage, insurance claims, and dent repair costs in Alberta.

If you own an F-150 from 2015 or newer, a Tesla, an Audi A8 or Q7, a Range Rover, certain BMW models, or a few other premium vehicles, your car or truck has aluminum body panels. That changes how PDR works on it — and changes which shops can actually do the job well. Aluminum…

Yes — when it's done right. That's the short answer most drivers are looking for, and it's accurate. A properly executed paintless dent repair is permanent.
