Whether a car dent can be repaired depends on the degree and location of the dent. Common repair methods include traditional sheet metal repair, paintless dent repair, and suction cup repair. Traditional sheet metal repair is suitable for large-area or severely deformed dents. It restores the shape through stretching, hammering, and welding, but it will damage the original car paint and the cost is high, ranging from approximately RM500 to RM2000. Paintless dent repair uses optical and lever techniques to push the dent from the inside, preserving the original car paint and taking less time. The cost is about RM200 to RM800, which is suitable for small-area flat dents. Suction cup repair is simple to operate and low in cost (about RM50 to RM300), but it is only applicable to shallow and small dents. If attempting repairs yourself, ensure safety and use appropriate tools. After repair, avoid prolonged sun exposure and impacts, and regularly clean and wax to maintain the car paint's condition.
