With the birth of Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) as a common trend, on-site auto body repair for small dent removal is a new emerging trend. Repair companies offering PDR now offer driveway services for busy customers who cannot afford to leave their vehicles in the shop for even an afternoon.
Advantages of On-Site Auto Body Repair
No need to go without a vehicle while your car is in the shop
Competitive pricing
Small repairs completed immediately
Convenient: you choose the location and the time
PDR is a dent removal method comprised of several techniques used for repairing minor dents. Sometimes this method leaves the vehicle with visible damage or areas that will show visible damage during weathering and aging processes. PDR is only effective under the most optimal of circumstances. The best possible solution for busy motorists is to choose a company that offers traditional dent removal and painting with on-site services.
Disadvantages of PDR
Useful under very limited circumstances
Works with dents dime-sized to 3 inches in diameter only
Often results in the necessity for painting in the long run
Use of PDR must be determined by a professional, requiring the inspection and estimate from a repair shop
Only works on with certain metals and paints
Useful for surface dents, only
Ineffective for dents with paint chips or scratches or creasing
Greater chance of visible damage with weathering and age
Only slightly cheaper than normal dent repair

Dents happen! Motorists encounter scratches and dents during normal driving conditions, minor accidents, and even parking in garages, on the street, or in a parking lot. Most insurance policies cover minor body repair, but charge consumers a hefty deductible. Worse, making an insurance claim often raises the vehicle owner's policy premiums. All of this, for a small blemish. Often, the deductible on a policy is almost as expensive as the repair bill. Moreover, the rise in policy premiums can cost the consumer hundreds of dollars annually.
For consumers, footing the bill for minor body repair is often cheaper in the long run. It eliminates the premium increase. Before making an insurance claim, consumers should consider calling a repair company who specializes in small body repairs.
Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) is one common form of repair for minor dents. PDR is an acceptable form of repair in some cases. However, in many cases, PDR leaves the vehicle with visible damage or areas that will show visible damage during weathering and aging processes. There are several techniques for repairing dents without repainting, but these techniques only work in very optimal situations. When there is already paint damage or the dent has deep or sharp creases, painting is usually required. The flexibility of the paint and metal and the amount the metal stretched during the incident limit the success of PDR techniques. PDR is a method often used to prepare the vehicle for painting or as a cheap solution to dent reparation.
Because of the limitations of PDR, consumers may consider using a company who paints all dent repairs to avoid future issues with the damaged area. Repairing the dent or scratch and then repainting the area eliminates the change of visible damage later in the vehicle's lifetime. Painting the repair site also lessens the possibility of rusting along the dent lines.

Many companies offer paintless dent repair (PDR) for small and very minor dents. In some cases, repairing the dent without repainting the area is acceptable. However, in many cases, this leaves the vehicle with visible damage or areas that will show visible damage after weathering and with age. There are several techniques for repairing dents without repainting, but these techniques only work in very optimal situations. When there is already paint damage or the dent has deep or sharp creases, painting is usually required. Other factors that limit successful repair using PDR include the flexibility of the paint, the amount the metal stretched during the damaging incident, and the type of metal and paint involved. As a result, PDR is often used to prepare the vehicle for painting or as a cheap solution to dent reparation.
Because of the limitations of PDR, consumers should consider using a company who paints all dent repairs to avoid future issues with the damaged area. Collision on Wheels offers minor dent repair, including paint, at affordable prices - right in your driveway! Collision on Wheels bumps out and paints all dents, even those the size of a quarter or smaller. In fact, Collision on Wheels offers several advantages over PDR services.
Advantages of Collision on Wheels:
Convenient, same-day service
Collision on Wheels comes to you - home or office
Affordable collision repair - competitive pricing 20-50% less than the average body shop
Any time dent repair - all types of weather
Exceptional warranty - Guaranteed for the life that you own the vehicle
Remember, PDR is only useful for very minor scratches and dents and may leave room for visible damage later in the vehicle's lifetime. Collision on Wheels does not use PDR, choosing instead to repair and paint all dents to avoid future problems and damage visibility.

In the US, the average car insurance deductible is between $200 and $500. The increase in insurance premium can cost hundreds of dollars annually. Considering these factors, consumers should determine whether the rise in insurance premium is worth making an insurance claim for small dents, scratches, and other damages. Often, using a local repair shop and paying the repair bill without making an insurance claim is cheaper and faster than going through the red tape and hoop jumping of the insurance claims process.
Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) is one common form of repair for minor dents. PDR is an acceptable form of repair in some cases. However, in many cases, PDR leaves the vehicle with visible damage or areas that will show visible damage during weathering and aging processes. There are several techniques for repairing dents without repainting, but these techniques only work in very optimal situations. When there is already paint damage or the dent has deep or sharp creases, painting is usually required. The flexibility of the paint and metal and the amount the metal stretched during the incident limit the success of PDR techniques. PDR is a method often used to prepare the vehicle for painting or as a cheap solution to dent reparation. Though it is slightly cheaper than more involved dent repair, it often leaves consumers unhappy when damages become visible several years after the repair.
The limitations of PDR are obvious. Consumer-savvy motorists should consider using a company who paints all dent repairs to avoid future issues with the damaged area. Repairing the dent or scratch and then repainting the area eliminates the change of visible damage later in the vehicle's lifetime. Painting the repair site also lessens the possibility of rusting along the dent lines.
When determining the company to use for your small body repairs, consider the cost, convenience, and processing time of the company. Look for a shop that offers immediate service at competitive pricing. Make sure the repair shop you choose offers a warranty that guarantees the repair against future visible damages and paint flaking.

Referred to as a "mini body shop on wheels," CW services save consumers time and money
Phoenix, AZ - Greg Longe, President of Collision on Wheels (CW), We Come to You, announced the awarding of a CW franchise in Arizona. Local resident and former Manager at Fry's Foods, Steven Leon, will service the Metro West Valley area.
Collision on Wheels (CW), We Come to You is a national franchise company specializing in mobile paint and collision repair. The franchise services a niche market of consumers who don't have time to take their vehicle to a body shop for small collision repairs and who are reluctant to make a claim to insurance companies.
This trend is cited in a collision industry research study conducted by the consulting firm, Frost & Sullivan in 2005. The study found that consumers are becoming more reluctant to report small collisions due to the concern that premiums would increase. The study identified "cosmetic repair" as a growth area of the industry that falls into two categories. Consumers who need a quick repair because they plan on selling their car and those who have been in a minor accident and prefer to pay out of pocket rather than file a claim.
Collision on Wheels, We Come to You is positioned to meet this demand in the collision industry. CW's mobile approach saves consumers time and money as minor repairs are typically less than a deductible.
Founded in 1987 by Louis Mancina and John Maio of Warren, Michigan, the company has awarded 45 franchises in major metro markets since franchising began in January 2007. Other CW Arizona franchise locations besides the AZ. West Valley area include Tucson and Great Phoenix.
"What I have learned in the past 20 years as being a Retail Manager is giving the customer great service and great value for their dollar; and I will keep the practice," says Steven Leon. Visit http://www.collisiononwheels.com for more information.

Testimonials
Don't just believe what we say. Our biggest selling point is our customers. They refer us new customers every day! Here are what our customers have to say about their experiences with Collision on Wheels and their automotive dent repairs, either at their homes, or at their offices:
Wow! I was impressed with my automotive dent repairs!
The repairs performed on my new Ford Fusion were flawless! I was very impressed with the quality and workmanship.
- Ruth T., Farmington Hills, MI
Collision on Wheels even removed the scratches when they fixed the dent!
My Honda looks fantastic! Not only did the technician remove the dent from my fender bender in the grocery store parking lot, but he took out all the scratches on my car as well.
- Brandon M., Plymouth, MI
Like the ad promises...Great service, price and quality!
The local owners of Collision on Wheels are super friendly, very experienced technicians, and they come to you! They even use a mobile paint booth to keep the dirt off the paint when it is windy. They gave me very reasonable prices and it was done very fast!
- Steve T., Morgan Hill, CA
They (Collision on Wheels) helped me calm down...
If I ever see a driver damaging a parked car and driving off, I pledge to report the incident because we experienced this despicable behavior on our two cars. Collision on Wheels repaired the significant scratches and dings on both cars at our home during one afternoon at a very reasonable price. I recommend this business highly because of the convenience, high quality and relative low cost that I experienced with these repairs. One caution --These guys are very busy, so be patient.
- Anonymous
Older car made "like new" very reasonably...
My car is 10 years old, with accumulated dents and dings....Collision on Wheels did a great touch-up, including pulling out a fender dent and some hail damage, plus they buffed and repainted some scratches on my molded bumpers. A long scratch (keyed) on one door was repaired flawlessly! I actually may keep the car another year or two, because it looks so nice, now! And, you can't beat the price and convenience they offered.
- Chip Bagman, Atlanta
Goodbye to scratches and dings -
Thanks again for the terrific work you did on our Subaru. Had I known how easy it would be to get those scrapes and dings out, I would have done it sooner! What I loved was that you make it so easy by providing a mobile service. It's a brilliant idea.
- Dan Sytman, Seattle. WA
Satisfied Customer Pays Half What Other Body Shop Quoted for Dent Repair
I just wanted to write a note to say that I am a very satisfied customer. You came to my home, gave me an estimate, returned at the arranged time, and fixed the dent and several nicks. The estimate from the body shop was almost twice the amount I paid for your service. I am very satisfied with your service, my cost....and it was done at my home. Thank you so much!
- Jeanette Whiteman, Mercer Island, WA.
Our Jeep's Bumper Looks Brand New Again!
I wanted to take a minute to thank you for fixing my son's jeep. The bumper was smashed in and the paint scraped and in less than an hour and a half, it looks brand new again. I cannot tell you how pleased I am with the service, the friendliness of the technician and the value. I'll certainly recommend the body shop on wheels to everyone I know. And to have done it while I worked was a huge bonus! Thanks again for being so great.
- Stephanie Collier, Kirkland, WA
Thanks for Doing a Really Impressive Job at a Very Reasonable Price!
John and I are so glad that your company was recommended to us by our neighbor. We were not planning to fix the dents and dings on either car until we talked with Collision on Wheels and got your estimates.
John's 2007 looks like a new 2007 again, and no one would ever know that my Subaru's rear bumper and left fender were less than perfect! Your auto body technician was extremely proficient and careful. Having him come to the house was so much better than taking the cars to a service center and the results are wonderful.
There was no mess or paint splatters, just a very professional job. Needless to say, we are telling everyone about your service and would call you in a heartbeat, if we needed any further repairs. Thanks for doing a really impressive job in an efficient manner at a very reasonable price.
- John and Susan Webb, Bellevue, WA
