Carlson PDR

BO is approved ✅ and this F-150 is officially back in the wild lookin’ like she never even met a shopping cart. 😎

We pulled this dent out so smooth even the paint said, “Thanks, Gary.” 💪

She’s shiny, she’s straight, and she’s struttin’ outta here like a new truck again.

Another one done and dusted at Carlson PDR — where the dents disappear and Gary’s coffee never gets finished. ☕🚗

I’ve owned more than 30 cars over the years — yeah, you could say I’ve got a bit of a thing for them.

From classics to daily drivers, there’s just something about cars that’s always pulled me in. The sound of the engine, the clean lines, that feeling when everything looks just right.

That’s what I love about paintless dent repair — it’s all in the details. Bringing a car back to its original shape without a trace.

At Carlson PDR, every job’s personal. I treat each car like it’s one of my own… because let’s be honest, I’ve probably owned one just like it at some point.

🚗 Meet Gary — The Heart Behind Carlson PDR

Hey there, I’m Gary Carlson, owner and lead technician here at Carlson PDR.

And before you ask…
👨‍⚕️ No, I’m not a doctor — even though the stethoscope might make it look that way!
But I do diagnose dents like one. 😉

I take real pride in making vehicles look new again — like the damage never even happened. It’s more than just fixing dents for me; it’s about restoring pride in something you care about.

I’ve built Carlson PDR on a simple promise:
✅ Honest service
✅ Exceptional quality
✅ Customers treated like neighbors

And while he’s not in this photo, my right-hand man Bo 🐾 is never far from the shop — keeping morale high and greeting customers like they’re old friends.

So whether it’s hail damage or a parking lot surprise, bring your car in.
We’ll make it look brand new again — doctor’s orders. 😎

Carlson PDR — Where Quality Meets Integrity.
