What do I need to fix dents in cars?

You’ll need a dent puller or slide hammer to grip onto the dent and pull it outward. For deeper dents or imperfections, you’ll also need a body filler and putty knives to shape the body filler smoothly over the dented area. Various sanding blocks and sanders may also be necessary to sand down the body filler for a smooth finish.

Can all dents be repaired?

The repairability of a dent depends on its size, location, and depth. Small dents such as minor door dings and shallow dents can generally be repaired without the need for repainting. For larger or more severe dents, more extensive bodywork and filer as well as repainting may be needed. In some cases, if the dent is near the edge of a panel or if the metal is severely damaged, it may not be feasible to repair the dent entirely and a panel replacement may be necessary.
