Paintless dent removal

Paintless dent removal in Canada: prices and booking

Updated 31 October 2026

Paintless dent removal in Canada costs about CA$125 to CA$350 for a small dent or door ding, and about CA$400 to CA$900 for a large crease. Pricing is per dent, and Calgary shops quote a minimum of about CA$150. For a quote on your car, post a request on BlaBlaPrice with the dent size, number and location.

Rules and technician training

No licence requirement for paintless dent work was confirmed in Canada, so ask whether the technician holds a PDR certificate from a training course. A one-week PDR course is offered in Canada. Ask for a written quote for each dent, and check whether the paint is cracked, because damaged paint can rule out paintless repair and then the job needs body work.

Season: hail and summer storms

Summer, from June to August, is when hail and storm damage peaks in cities such as Calgary and Winnipeg, so repairers are busiest then. Book in spring or autumn for a quicker slot. Winter, from December to February, is quieter for outdoor work, so ask whether the technician can work indoors in the cold.

Home visits and how it is priced

Ask whether a home visit is possible, which saves a trip to the shop, and whether a travel charge applies. Prices depend on size, number, location and paint condition. Vancouver guides give CA$75 to CA$300 per dent, while Mississauga pricing starts around CA$150 for small dents and can go above CA$500 for larger work.

What to put in your request

Give the dent location, size and number, the paint condition, the car make and model, the cause if known, your city or area, whether you want a home visit, your deadline and your budget in CA$. Photos of each dent help a technician quote per dent without a visit.
