The cost of car dent repair typically ranges from 100 to 5000 Malaysian Ringgit, depending on the severity, location, vehicle model, and repair method of the dent. For minor dents (less than 5 cm in diameter with no paint damage), paintless dent repair (PDR) is employed, costing approximately 100 to 500 Malaysian Ringgit, with a repair time of just 30 to 90 minutes. Moderate dents (5 to 15 cm in diameter or accompanied by scratches) require professional equipment for treatment, costing around 500 to 2000 Malaysian Ringgit. Severe dents (involving structural deformation or extensive damage) necessitate sheet metal work and repainting, with costs potentially reaching 2000 to 5000 Malaysian Ringgit. Repairs for luxury vehicles typically cost 50% to 100% more than for standard models. Additionally, repairing flat surfaces like door panels costs about 200 to 400 Malaysian Ringgit, while repairs along body creases may incur a 30% premium. It is recommended that owners select either quick-service shops or authorised dealerships based on the dent's severity, opting for PDR for minor damage to reduce costs and preserve the vehicle's resale value.
