SERVICE PROGRAM
Dent Guard is a 1-6 year
(unlimited) Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) coverage that allows for the paintless
removal of dents from all vertical and horizontal painted sheet
metal panels on the automobile. The
coverage was designed to protect your members’ automobile investment against
door dings and small dents without the need for expensive and time-consuming
body shop repairs. Excludes hail damage, collision and enviromental
damage, roof panels with sun/moon roofs. Vehicles with non-metal exteriors
are not covered, example: Corvettes, some Saturn models.
Dent Guard is available on both new and used automobiles, up to 5 model years old (2000 or newer). The contract may be purchased at the time of the vehicle purchase or within 5 years from the vehicle’s original in-service date. The actual paintless dent removal may be performed by appointment – with preauthorization - by an Authorized Technician.

coverage is both easy AND convenient! The member receives courteous efficient
service that exceeds expectations.

Dent Guard repairs can be completed in about the time required for an oil change.
The repair can take place:
