Paintless dent repair in Geneva
In Geneva, AZ Carrosserie removes dents without repainting, as long as the original paint has not cracked. The metal is pushed back from behind the panel, with no filler and no time in the paint booth. It is the usual route for hail damage and for dents from doors opened too quickly. If the paint is cracked, the repair then needs panel work and repainting. The quote is free.
What is paintless dent repair?
The dent is pushed back from behind the panel, little by little, until the metal regains its shape. There is no filler and no time in the paint booth: the clear coat left on the car is the original one.
Does paintless dent repair really work?
Yes, when two conditions are met:
- The paint has not cracked. As long as it is intact in the hollow of the dent, the metal can be reshaped without repainting.
- The back of the panel can be reached. The dent is worked from behind: if there is no access, the method does not apply.
Typical cases are hail damage and dents left by a door opened too quickly in a parking space.
When does a dent need repainting?
As soon as the paint is cracked, or the back of the panel cannot be reached. The repair then needs panel work and repainting. Metal that is too badly deformed, a bent wing or a door that no longer closes straight call for body repair: the part is straightened when possible, and replaced when the deformation is too severe.
You do not have to choose the method
You describe what you see: the affected area and the type of damage. The choice between paintless dent repair, spot repair and replacing the part is made when the car is inspected, not when you fill in the form.
The two photos that help decide
Photograph the dent close up for the detail, then from a little further away to show which part it is on. Left and right are the car’s, seen from the driver’s seat.
Is hail damage covered by insurance?
In Switzerland, hail is one of the natural events covered by partial casco, along with storms and floods.

Give the name of your insurer in the form: that is where the claim starts. The steps to follow are on the Accidents and insurance page.

Your questions about dent repair
Can every dent be taken out without repainting?
No. The original paint must be intact and the back of the panel must be reachable. Cracked paint, badly deformed metal or no access: the repair then needs panel work and repainting. Your photo helps prepare the quote, and the choice is confirmed when the car is inspected.
Is the original paint preserved?
Yes, that is the principle of the method: the metal is pushed back from behind, with no filler and no time in the paint booth. The paint left on the part is the car’s own.
Is paintless dent repair covered by insurance?
For hail, partial casco covers natural events in principle (La Mobilière, accessed on 01.10.2026). For a dent caused by a collision, it depends on your cover. What your policy pays for, and the excess, are set out in your terms and conditions.
Does the workshop repair dents on motorbikes and scooters?
No. The workshop does not take on two-wheelers.
