A small dent on the car roof is relatively easier to repair, while a larger dent may require the removal of interior roof panels and other components. Below is relevant information: Auto Body Repair: It is a technical method in car repair, where auto body repair refers to the process of restoring the car body after a collision. This includes all tasks except for anti-corrosion and decorative painting work on the car body. Such tasks involve analyzing car body damage, measuring the car body, shaping and straightening the auto body panels, stress-relief welding, as well as assembling and adjusting car body accessories. Introduction: Auto body repair is a processing method in car maintenance, also known as cold working.

Hey, my car roof also got a small dent from a falling branch the other day, and I was debating whether to fix it. If the dent isn't too big (about the size of a coin) and the paint isn't damaged, there's actually a pretty amazing paintless dent repair (PDR) technique available! The technician will use specialized tools to carefully push the dent out from inside the headliner area—no need for traditional bodywork or repainting, and the repair leaves no visible traces. It's a bit pricier, maybe around 300-500 RMB for a small dent, but it saves you the hassle of post-repair paint maintenance. If the dent is deep or the paint is cracked, then you'll need to go the traditional bodywork route—applying filler and repainting—which takes longer and inevitably affects the original paint. I'd recommend first taking your car to a reputable shop for a thorough inspection under strong lighting and let the technician assess which method is best for your situation.
