Paintless Dent Repair in Chandler
Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) is an art form of metal shaping and shrinking. At Top Notch Collision & Repair our technicians thoroughly inspect the damage to your vehicle to determine whether or not paintless dent repair suits your needs.
Original factory paint for most standard vehicles is flexible, meaning that minor dent repair can be achieved without painting, depending on depth and location of the damage.
This process is ideal for low impact dent repair. Paintless dent repair involves carefully kneading minor dents or dings without adding or removing paint from your vehicle. At Top Notch we prefer using this process when dealing with damage that hasn’t stripped paint from the vehicle.
Our auto body repair shop provides a variety of collision repair services for foreign and domestic vehicles all while working with every major insurance company.

Repair times will depend on the extent of the damage and availability of parts. Once our shop receives your vehicle, we will produce an auto repair estimate and contact you within 24-48 hours to go over it with you.
At Top Notch we use three different kinds of parts:
- OEM: Original Equipment Manufacturer. For example, Chevrolet OEM parts are made by Chevrolet for Chevrolet Vehicles.
- Aftermarket Parts: These parts are made by third parties, but manufacturers offer certifications to ensure fit, function, and safety.
- Used / Salvage: These parts are OEM parts that are in excellent quality both in terms of structure and aesthetics, these parts come from vehicles that are no longer functional
It’s generally recommended to have your vehicle checked every 5,000 to 7,500 miles by your mechanic, or according to the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule. Regular checks can help identify potential issues early and keep your vehicle in good working condition.
Customer satisfaction is of the highest importance to us and all of our work is backed by the Top Notch Lifetime Warranty. If you have any concerns with your repairs, please contact us so we can make things right.
In the State of Arizona, you have the right to choose any repair facility regardless of insurance carrier? Ask us for more details.
When choosing a body shop, look for certifications (such as I-CAR or ASE), reviews, a clean and organized facility, and transparency in costs and services through an itemized estimate.
Unfortunately, no. Before we return your vehicle in pre-accident condition, we require full payment of the insurance deductible or the complete bill if paying out of pocket.
