Dent Removal in Minneapolis

Door dings, shopping cart run-ins, garage door mishaps, we have all had run-ins with our cars and objects we can’t control, and it leaves us with an unsightly ding or dent. It’s not fun to have an eyesore on a door, hood, roof, or fender that leaves us feeling a little irritated.


Dent Kraft PDR in Minneapolis is your one-stop shop to get this kind of damage. You should come to us before the body shop before someone puts Bondo on your car, and we have to repaint your vehicle.


Here are the benefits of paintless dent removal instead of sending your car to the auto body shop.


  1. Keep your Factory Paint- Paintless dent removal is the art of moving metal with a variety of tools. We don’t use dry ice or plungers, but it is a skilled technique of slowly moving metal back to its pre-damage condition. We don’t use fillers, and most importantly, with Paintless Dent Removal, you get to keep your factory finish.
  2. No Carfax- We are not mandated, reporters. If you go through your insurance company, there may be a report from them, but this is not required. You will walk away from the repair with a vehicle that has retained its value.
  3. Quick turn around- A usual repair takes only one to two days, where the body shop repair can take weeks, sometimes months. We want you to get back on the road within that car you love. We are located directly east of Minnetonka BMW on Wayzata Boulevard. Feel free to relax in our lobby, enjoy a show on TV, use our Wi-Fi, read a magazine while you wait, or instead drop your vehicle off. Our lobby is open and waiting for you to be comfortable.
  4. Reasonable Cost– Since paintless dent repair can take less time than a conventional repair, the price can be fair. When you factor in the savings on materials such as body filler, primer, and coats of expensive auto paint, plus being out of your car and in a rental vehicle, it’s easy to see how choosing PDR can save you money. Our estimating system is computer-based and based on the factors of your dent. Each dent presents its challenges, bracing, type of metal. Our industry-standard is to use the same estimating software, so pricing is fair and consistent.
  5. Earth Friendly  – With PDR, there’s no negative impact on the environment. (Woo Hoo) The air isn’t polluted by releasing toxic chemicals from body filler, auto paint, and paint thinner used at the body shop. We don’t risk groundwater contamination with chemicals used in a traditional body shop setting.

As always Don and his team meticulously fixed a very tricky dent along a sharp body line of my car. It was done perfectly. am always amazed at the craftsmanship, friendly environment, very, very fair pricing and even a work office while I wait! I am a “car guy” and have been going to Dent Kraft for over 25 years! I will trust my cars with no one else but Dent Kraft. Believe me, they are the best.

Don, Kim and the crew were absolutely amazing. They worked with me and the insurance company to get my truck up and running as quickly as possible. They called with updates often and kept me in the loop throughout the entire process. My truck was hit with baseball sized hail and it came back looking brand new again. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone. Top notch service.

My husband and I are very thankful for a friend's recommendation to get my car fixed at Dent Kraft. Owner Don did a superb job. He went above and beyond all expectations, and at such a reasonable cost. Don and his General Manager wife, Kim, bring exceptionally positive energy, high standards, and outstanding service to their business. It's obvious Don cares deeply about all he does. And his three-and-a-half decades of experience make him a master craftsman. Harold Klemp once wrote, "Service to others is a natural outpouring of one's love for life." Don and Kim exemplify this quote to the fullest. --Jerry & Mary, very grateful Dent Kraft customers.

Dent Kraft is the ultimate place to have door dings removed. Their competition could give a ball park price and not a guarantee on workmanship. Don at dent Kraft not only provided excellent craftsmanship but competitive price and turnaround. Great place to have work done. My 2015 mustang GT looks showroom perfect!

I had an outstanding experience with Don and his team at Dent Kraft. My new GMC Canyon AT4X got dinged on the door by flying metal debris on the interstate and left an annoying dent. I drove into Dent Kraft on a Monday to get an estimate and got one right away and also made an appointment for two days later. Fixed the door ding while I waited in their very spacious and comfortable upstairs "loft" -- even did a couple of Zoom meetings for work. Great outcome and a very reasonable price! Can't recommend Dent Kraft enough...

Contacted DentKraft with a difficult door dent and spoke with Don who was great. Emailed photos of the dent to him and he called me with a detailed description of what they normally do, what they would try to do with my dent, and what to expect. Decided to go forward with what was estimated for time and price. Had the repair done in a day and was very satisfied with their work. I wouldn't hesitate to bring my car back for future PDR needs.

This is the best place for paintless dent repair. I got a dent in my new car and stopped by for an estimate and the owner Don greeted me and was super helpful. Got an appointment the next day. Turns out I knew Don from when I worked at a dealership back in the 90’s as he worked fixing dents on cars in the used car lot. He did exceptional work and that has only gotten better now! You can’t even tell where the dent was! If have dents, take your car or SUV to Dent Kraft! You will not be disappointed!

Have been a customer since they were located in Minnetonka. Had occasion today to use them again for a nasty dent in my motorcycles gas tank. As always, they made it vanish without a trace! Fair pricing, great waiting area, friendly and fun team. Why go anywhere else?

I wanted to share my outstanding experience with Dent Kraft. My wife and I had unfortunately parked too close to another car and we had gotten a sizable door ding in our new vehicle. Don took care of the ding and we can't even see where the damage was on the vehicle previously. My experience with both Don and Kim was exceptional and I highly recommend this business. Thanks for doing a great job for us! Regards, Rick

I am so impressed with this business. I stopped by to ask a question, and at no charge the owner Don partially fixed an issue with my car and showed me the resources I need to finish the job (it’s something that can’t be fully addressed with paintless dent repair). He was courteous, incredibly helpful, and very generous with his time and expertise.

BMW 5 Series Dent Repair – October 25, 2010. Living in Minnesota, most people become accustom to seeing deer. Driving down the road and spotting a deer can be scary, even dangerous. But seeing a deer run through your front lawn wouldn’t necessarily bring that same fear of a collision between your car and a large buck.
