CSI Repair Process
"PDR" is the official acronym for Paintless Dent Repair or Paintless Dent Removal, both referring to an officially accepted repair method to remove dents caused for example by hail stones on vehicles' external chassis parts. It is based on the physical qualities of metal, i.e. elasticity and the possibility to plasticly deform metal without destroying its molecular structure. When applying PDR, the metal sheet is brought back to its initial shape and place, while the metal itself and its covering paint layers stay strong and unharmed by the repair.
…This is how we define our business:
Transition from pure PDR services to holistic process-driven project management. CSI represents the perfect symbiosis of traditional craftmanship and top-notch technologies.
