Ian CheesemanA coworker of mine had a minor accident and needed to get a dent repaired. At first, a mechanic fixed it up, and it looked better, but not quite as flawless as he’d hoped.
During lunchtime, he even dragged a bunch of us from the office to look at it in the parking lot. Maybe it was the paint not being 100% right, or the tiniest curve where the dent used to be, but yep, you could definitely tell that something happened.
To help out, I gave him a list of the top-rated dent removal services in Toronto. A week later, and it was like the dent had never been there!
If you find yourself in the same situation, you know who to call (hint: the pros below!).
How much does dent removal cost in Toronto?
In Toronto, dent removal services cost around $150 to $500, depending on the size, depth, and location of the dent.
Paintless dent repair (PDR) usually sits on the lower end of the range, while larger dents requiring repainting cost more.

AUTODENT is known in TO as a go-to spot for taking care of those pesky dings and scratches. They were even featured in Collision Magazine, which says a lot about their know-how.
Paintless Dent Repair is their forte. Instead of drilling holes or hammering your car panel, they use specialized tools to restore the metal sheet to its original shape.
They’re used to fixing a whole range when it comes to dent troubles—parking lot mishaps, hail damage, rogue golf balls, shopping cart accidents—you name it. They don’t just stop at dents, either; scratches can easily be handled, too.
And when paintwork is needed, they use high-grade paints and coatings for a smooth, long-lasting finish.
As with all car repairs, not every experience is flawless. We heard about swirl marks being left behind on the paint, which is definitely annoying.
Amazing job repairing my shopping cart dent
“If I could give them 10 stars, I would! What an amazing job repairing my shopping cart dent. Karma will get the mf who did this to my vehicle.

By far one of the best PDR shops in the GTA
“Got a pretty nasty dent on my rear quarter panel, called a couple of places local to me (Hamilton), and they told me they couldn’t fix it and it would need to be sent to a body shop. Then I contacted Marty, and he booked me on the same day, and everything. I met Dima there, who worked on my car; he was an absolute wizard, got rid of the dent, and made it look like nothing was ever there. By far one of the best, if not the best, PDR shops in the GTA. Highly recommend these guys, amazing prices and very quick.”

2. Roadrunner Dent Repair
Business Address: 22 Randolph Ave
Website: https://www.roadrunnerdent.ca/
Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Roadrunnerdent/
Contact Details: (416) 996-3368
Business Hours: By appointment only
Roadrunner Dent Repair has been handling minor car depressions since 2011. It was founded by Mike, who led a national franchise dent program and has worked across Canada, Europe, and the US.
They offer Paintless Dent Repair, which involves no sanding, filling, or painting. Their mechanics use tools to massage the dent out from the back of the panel, so your car keeps its original factory finish.
We like that this method is environmentally friendly since there’s no sanding dust, harsh fillers, or chemicals involved.
Plus, their technicians are also hail-specific, PDR-certified, which means they’ve seen it all when it comes to car blemishes and marks. While the workmanship is skillful, you might want to confirm timelines since we heard they could be uncommunicative.
On the bright side, they back all their repairs with a limited lifetime warranty, giving you peace of mind.
My car looked brand new
“Roadrunners was recommended to me by my mechanic because I had a dent on the driver’s back side of the car. I met Mike and was immediately impressed with him. He was professional, personable, and very knowledgeable. I was extremely happy with the workmanship. My car looked brand new. Should you need dent repairs on your car, do not hesitate to contact Mike. Run to Roadrunner. You will be ONE happy customer. I was. Thank you, Mike. Sincerely, Flaca”

Did it in 8 hours at a fraction of the cost
“Mike fixed a large dent in my door that no one else was willing to do with PDR. Other places wanted to charge me an arm and a leg and a 5+ days wait time. Mike did it in 8 hours with PDR and at a fraction of the cost. He saved me easily 1K or more. But the amazing thing is that he fixed it perfectly, and no one can tell what was there before. I recommend him highly!”

3. Magic Dent Repair
Business Address: 1277 Caledonia Rd, North York
Website: https://magicdentrepair.ca/
Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/magicdentrepair/
Contact Details: (647) 389-5551
Business Hours: Mon – Fri: 9 AM – 5 PM
Since 2013, Magic Dent Repair has been helping GTA drivers bounce back. As an independently-owned company, they handle all makes and models with ease.
If you bring your car in for Magic Dent Repair, their PDR specialists will do a full in-shop inspection. They factor in the number of dents, sizes, depth, and details, as well as parts removal or reinstallation.
But for those who prefer staying at home, you can send them multiple photos of the dents via WhatsApp, text, or email, or use their online estimate form.
As for repairs, they can tackle anything: door, crease, minor, large, and tricky, complex dents. They either use rod or glue repair—sometimes together for the best results.
What’s cool is that smaller issues can be handled in as little as 1 to 6 hours. However, remember that this level of expertise is going to cost you, or so we’ve heard.
No signs of damage left at all
“I recently had a dent on the driver’s side door of my Honda Civic repaired, and I’m really happy with the results. The fix was clean and professional—no signs of the damage left at all. The paint match was perfect, and the door looks brand new again. The turnaround time was quick, and the cost was fair for the quality of work. Definitely recommend the service if you’re dealing with similar damage.”

Contact Details: (416) 518-3368
Business Hours:
Mon – Fri: 8 AM – 5 PM
Saturday: 8 AM – 1 PM
Dent Doctor was established back in 1992, and now, they’re one of the top dent removal pros in the city. While their client base is mostly car dealerships and manufacturers, they also serve the general public from their Thornhill shop.
Their bread and butter is Paintless Dent Repair, which means no body filler, repainting, and panel swapping—just skilled technicians using hand tools. A little caveat is that they might be rude at times.
The first step is an in-shop estimate. They consider factors like the size and sharpness of the damage, the paint situation, previous collision work, and metal type (mild steel, high-strength steel, or aluminum alloy).
After repairs, they provide you with a Lifetime Guarantee, which is pretty cool—basically, they’ll back their dent removal repairs for as long as you own your car. And if you’re not satisfied with a repaired panel, there’s no extra charge.
Their quality of work can’t be compared
“Absolutely incredible! These guys have been around for decades, and their customer service and quality of work can’t be compared. There are some folks trying to copy them, but believe me, it’s not the same! I brought my car to them on a Tuesday and had my car within 24 hours … had 4 huge dents on my brand new car, and it’s all gone! like new! Very happy.”

The price was also very reasonable
“Had an excellent experience at Dent Doctor. Richard was great with communication. The part was ordered from Mazda, and installation was fast! The price was also very reasonable. I highly recommend anyone who needs a body shop or repairs for their car to visit Dent Doctor! I had my driver’s side mirror replaced.”

5. Car Dent Medic
Business Address: 60 Green Lane, Unit 7, Thornhill
Website: https://cardentmedic.ca/

Contact Details: (647) 996-3368
Business Hours:
Mon – Fri: 9:30 AM – 5 PM
Saturday: 9 AM – 2 PM
Nobody likes walking back to their car only to spot a fresh dent or ding—that’s where Car Dent Medic comes in.
Their Paintless Dent Removal process includes the technician gaining access behind the dented panel and using PDR tools to gently manipulate the metal back into place.
If it’s not possible to get behind the panel, they use a glue-pulling technique instead. This involves manipulating the surface of the panel rather than the back.
You can email pictures of the damage for a free estimate, but note that they’re said to be a bit pricey. However, they promise to match or beat any written quote from a reputable competitor, so you might need to shop around first.
The car looks brand new after the repair
“Very impressive job at a reasonable price. Came to the shop for a dent repair on the passenger side door. Ray was very professional and super helpful. The result was amazing. The car looks brand new after the repair. Ray did it in less than 2 hours. Absolutely amazing services.”

Deep dent in my car is completely unnoticeable
“Ray provides a high quality of service with meticulous attention to detail. He is truly an artisan, as the deep dent in my car is completely unnoticeable. I was extremely happy with the result, especially given the fact that he was also priced lower compared to some of the other quotes I received. I would strongly recommend Ray for any paintless dent repair needs.”
