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.
