Factory paint stays intact. - **Can PDR fix hail damage?** Yes. Most hail impacts are shallow and round — ideal PDR candidates. A Better Repair removes every impact dent while preserving the factory finish. Insurance assistance provided. - **Does PDR affect my vehicle's warranty?** No. PDR does not touch factory paint or corrosion protection. Traditional repainting can void factory corrosion warranties — PDR avoids this entirely. - **Can you fix aluminum panels?** Yes. Jerod is I-CAR and ARC certified with specific aluminum PDR training (F-150, Tesla, BMW, and other aluminum-intensive platforms). - **Do you work with insurance?** Yes — since 2001. A Better Repair helps document damage, navigate claims, and ensures the repair scope covers all damage correctly. - **Is PDR good for lease returns?** Yes. PDR restores panels to leasing-company standards without repainting. Many customers avoid lease-end reconditioning charges. - **Can you repair motorcycle tank dents?** Yes — specialty PDR for motorcycle fuel tanks, preserving custom paint and factory graphics entirely. ## Contact - **Call or text:** (480) 326-3481 - **Email:** abetterrepairaz@gmail.com - **Shop:** 755 N.
