Paintless Dent Repair in Leonardtown, MD
Fifteen minutes from the county seat via MD-245: thirty years of dent, wheel, and scratch craftsmanship at our California, MD shop.
A town that keeps its cars nice
Leonardtown is the kind of town where the square hosts car shows, First Fridays fill the street parking, and people actually keep their vehicles nice. Which is exactly why a shopping-cart crease or a curbed wheel grates more here than most places.
The damage sources are specific: angled square parking that invites door-to-bumper taps, the Breton Bay marina lots, MD-5 commuter miles, and the gravel aprons of the rural roads that ring the town.
We are the closest dedicated dent and wheel specialists, fifteen minutes away in California, MD, and we treat show-quality paint with the respect it took years to maintain.

PDR vs. a body shop repaint
The body shop way
- Three to five days in the shop
- Panel sanded, filled, and resprayed
- Factory paint gone for good
- Repaint flags on resale inspections
- Often costs more than your deductible
The Nationwide Way
- Hours, usually the same day
- Metal reshaped from behind the panel
- Factory finish stays on the car
- Resale value protected
- Free estimate before any work starts

Why Leonardtown drivers make the drive
Because the alternative is an hour to Annapolis or trusting nice paint to a general body shop. Thirty years of PDR craft means the metal moves back without filler or respray, and the classics that show on the square get the same hands as the daily drivers.

Leonardtown dent repair FAQs
How far is the shop from downtown Leonardtown?
About fifteen minutes: MD-245 east through Hollywood to MD-235, then MacArthur Blvd in California, MD. 22576 MacArthur Blvd #295.
Can you match the standard of show-quality paint?
That is the point of PDR: the factory finish is never touched, so there is nothing to match. We work classics and concours-kept cars regularly.
What does a typical parking-lot ding cost?
Most run $50 to $150 and are done in an hour or two. Photos get you an exact number for free before you drive over.
Do you fix curb rash from the square's angled parking?
Constantly. Curbed alloys are refinished to factory look, typically $100 to $250 a wheel, one to two days.
Is there a weekend option?
The Waldorf shop covers Saturdays 9 to 2, about forty minutes up MD-5; the California shop runs weekdays 9 to 5.
