  1. Paintless dent repair (PDR)

    Paintless Dent Repair or PDR, is the process of removing hail damage, dents, dings and creases without using conventional auto body methods such as sheet metal repair, part replacement and/or paint. Our technicians use a series of various sized metal rods to gently massage the dent, ding or crease from the metal via the backside of the panel. This art takes skill, patience and precision in order to restore the panel to its original appearance.

  2. Hail damage repair

    Inevitably, if you live in Colorado you will experience hail. The severity of the storm determines the method(s) utilized to repair your vehicle. Minor to moderate damage may warrant the less invasive method of PDR. While extensive damage may require conventional body repairs and refinishing. Caropractor’s in-house PDR, autobody and refinish technicians keep repair costs reasonable because we don’t have to subcontract the repairs. Peace of mind knowing a longstanding, local company backs your repairs.

About

Serving individuals and families, not bottom lines.

For the past 28 years, we have had the honor of providing our services to the people of this great state. Each repair has a story, unique to the person that holds it. Sometimes these stories have been traumatizing, life altering, and almost always, a disruption to daily life. All of us here at Caropractor take these stories seriously and with compassion. Our customers are not damaged vehicles with dollars signs, they are people and they are families.

At Caropractor we serve people, not insurance companies. Our team advocates on behalf of our customers with insurance companies, tactfully and professionally. We do not sacrifice quality or take shortcuts because an insurance company refuses to adequately indemnify a client. We push back at the big guys to get what is fair and just on each individual repair.

“I was very scared to have anyone repair the hail damage on my car after working at a dealership with a body shop. My 2015 Cruze looks as it did when I bought it a year ago. Thank you for taking a situation that I found stressful and turning it around.”
