Yes. A Better Repair repairs dents on the Rivian R1T and R1S with paintless dent repair at our Mesa shop. Rivians use large aluminum panels — long doors, tall bedsides and quarter panels — that are ideal PDR candidates when handled by a tech trained on aluminum.

The Rivian R1T and R1S are built from big aluminum panels — long doors, tall bedsides, and broad quarter panels. Those large, relatively flat surfaces are excellent candidates for paintless dent repair when the work is done by someone who understands aluminum. A door ding, a campsite scrape dent, or a parking-lot crease usually comes out clean, with the factory finish untouched.
Rivian Models We Repair
From everyday door ding removal to large-panel and crease work, every Rivian repair is paintless dent repair that preserves the factory finish, no sanding, no filler, no repaint.
Big aluminum panels reward proper PDR
Rivian panels are large and aluminum, which means two things: there is plenty of working surface for paintless dent repair, and the metal has no memory, so it must be reset with controlled, accurate force. Done right, a large door or bedside dent disappears with no filler and no repaint. Done wrong, you get high spots across a panel that catches every reflection.
A Better Repair is I-CAR and ARC certified with specific aluminum-panel training — exactly the skill set a Rivian needs.
Adventure dents without the body-shop downtime
Rivians get used. Tailgate dings, dents from gear, trailhead scrapes, and parking dents are the everyday reality of an electric adventure truck. PDR turns those around fast — most repairs are same or next day — so your truck is not parked at a body shop for a week waiting on paint.
Factory finish, no Carfax, protected resale
Rivian holds value when the original finish is intact. Paintless dent repair never touches the paint, so there is no repaint to disclose, no Carfax entry, and no color-match risk on that distinctive Rivian palette. Your truck stays original.
