A car dent repair can involve several tools and techniques. For shallow dents, the technician may use a hammer and dolly; this involves bracing the car with some metal (the dolly) while hammering the dent out. A tool commonly used on small dents is a dent puller, which features an industrial-strength suction cup.

Using a stud welder is another option - this tool welds studs into the affected area, and stud pliers are then used to pull the dent back into place. These methods of dent removal will often be followed by a touch-up of the vehicle's paint.

Many cars with dents suffer from other cosmetic issues and may also need a scratch repair. You can find out more about the different types of bodywork repair in this guide.
