Home / Truck beds
Double walled, so the repair comes from the outside.
A pickup bedside is two skins with a gap between them, which means there is no way to get a rod behind the outer panel. That changes the method completely: the dent is pulled from the outside with glue tabs rather than pushed from behind, and that is the single biggest thing that decides what is possible on a truck.

A pickup bedside is two skins with a gap between them, which means there is no way to get a rod behind the outer panel.

One panel, two moments, a short time apart. No filler went on it, nothing was sanded back and no paint was sprayed. What you slide across is the finish the car was built with. This one was corrected at our Bellevue shop, the same paintless dent repair we bring to Seattle and across the Eastside.
A tab is glued to the low point, pulled, and released, in many small stages. It is slower than rod work and it is the only option on a double walled panel, which is most bedsides on most trucks.
Every F-150 since 2015 has an aluminum body, and aluminum has no spring-back to help the pull. It needs heat to become workable and every fraction has to be placed deliberately.
A dent in the flat of a bedside is the good case. One folded over the top rail or wrapped into the arch involves structure that resists returning, and sometimes cannot fully.
A tailgate often has access from behind once the trim comes off, which puts it back into rod territory and makes it a faster job than the panel next to it.

Absolutely great experience. The people are friendly and so helpful. They also did an amazing job. This dent showed up after someone hit my parked car and it had been bugging me for months but now you would not even be able to tell it was ever there. They were fast, accommodating and diligent.
The team provided a fast and reasonable quote for the work I wanted to get done. On the day of the appointment, they greeted me kindly and gave me a timeframe for the job. The final result turned out great and the small dent is now gone.

Usually yes, using glue pulling from the outside rather than rod work from behind. A bedside is double walled so nothing can reach the back of it, which is why the method changes rather than the outcome.
A tab is glued to the low point of the dent, pulled to draw the metal outward, then released, repeated in small stages until the panel is back. It is how any panel gets repaired when there is no access behind it.
Yes. Aluminum has no memory pulling it back toward shape, needs more force to move, and has to be warmed so it becomes workable and holds where it is put. Every F-150 since 2015 has an aluminum body.
Sometimes. The top rail is a folded structural edge, so it resists returning and may not come back completely. We would rather look at photos and tell you honestly than start and find out.
One straight on, one at an angle, one close, plus the year, make and model. You get a real answer within the hour during business hours, including when the answer is that paintless repair is the wrong method for what you have.
