Introduction to Dent Removal in Simi Valley

Auto Body Unlimited provides a refined, detail-oriented approach to dent removal in Simi Valley, offering craftsmanship and precision for drivers who expect a flawless finish. Our specialists restore the smooth, factory-level contours of your vehicle using advanced tools, controlled metalwork techniques, and a process designed to preserve the original paint and structure.

Even a small dent can disrupt clean body lines, distort reflections, and diminish your vehicle’s appearance. Dents can also weaken the protective layers of the paint, leaving the panel more vulnerable over time. At Auto Body Unlimited, we understand that restoring your vehicle involves far more than simply removing an imperfection. It involves returning the shape, flow, and visual balance of the body panel.

Our Simi Valley facility is equipped with the latest paintless dent repair systems, precision lighting, and specialized tools that allow us to reshape metal with exact control. Whether the dent is small or more noticeable, we use techniques that maintain the structural integrity of the panel and the original factory finish.

We treat every vehicle with the same commitment to excellence, from daily commuters to luxury models. Our priority is restoring your vehicle with invisible results, consistent quality, and a natural finish that blends seamlessly with the surrounding surface.

Understanding Dent Removal

Dent removal is the process of restoring a vehicle’s body panels to their original shape without compromising the paint, the structure, or the natural flow of the metal. It requires a blend of technique, patience, and accuracy, along with the right tools and lighting to ensure the repair is precise.

At Auto Body Unlimited, every dent is evaluated individually. No two dents are created the same way. Each is shaped by different forces, angles, and materials. We study the depth, size, and accessibility of the dent to determine the most effective repair method. This ensures that the repair is minimally intrusive and maintains the vehicle’s original finish.

Common dent removal services include:

• Paintless Dent Repair for small and medium dents

• Door ding and parking lot dent removal

• Panel surface correction

• Fender, quarter panel, and roof dent restoration

• Metal reshaping for minor distortion

• Polishing and surface refinement

Our Dent Removal Process

At Auto Body Unlimited, the dent removal process is built around accuracy, refinement, and control. Each step is performed carefully to ensure the final result blends naturally with the surrounding surface.

1. Assessment and Consultation

   We begin with a detailed evaluation of the dent under precision lighting to determine the best repair method. You receive a clear explanation of the process, timeline, and projected cost before any work begins.

   
   

2. Preparation and Cleaning

   The affected panel is thoroughly cleaned to remove wax, residue, or contaminants. This allows for maximum visibility and accuracy during the repair.

   
   

3. Paintless Dent Repair

   For dents with intact paint, we reshape the metal from behind the panel using specialized PDR tools and controlled techniques. This restores the original contour without sanding, fillers, or repainting.

   
   

4. Surface Correction and Refinishing

   If the dent requires refinishing, we use premium materials and color-matching technology to recreate the exact factory tone. Paint and clear coat are applied in a controlled environment to ensure an even, durable finish.

   
   

5. Polishing and Final Detailing

   After the repair is complete, the panel is polished to restore clarity, depth, and shine. This final step ensures a smooth transition between the restored area and the rest of the vehicle.

How Long Dent Removal Takes

Most dent repairs in Simi Valley are completed within one to three business days, depending on the size and severity of the damage. Paintless dent repairs can often be completed the same day. You will receive a projected completion time before work begins, along with updates throughout the process. Our priority is to deliver superior results without unnecessary delays.

Dent Removal Costs

The cost of dent removal depends on the dent’s size, depth, and access point, as well as the repair method required. Paintless dent repair typically ranges from 150 to 500 dollars per panel. More extensive work, including panel refinishing or multi-panel repairs, can range from 600 to 2,000 dollars.

Each estimate is transparent and customized to your vehicle. We explain what is needed, why it matters, and how it benefits your vehicle’s appearance and long-term value. If your dent was caused during an insured incident, we assist with documentation and help coordinate the claim.
