First Class Paintless Dent Repair FAQs

Price

This plan feels like an extra cost, do I really need it?

We completely understand wanting to keep costs manageable with your new Mercedes-Benz. While the plan (typically $520–$640 depending on term and model) adds to the upfront price, a single professional dent repair can cost $500–$1,000 per incident, especially for luxury vehicles. With unlimited covered repairs over 5–7 years, this plan often pays for itself after just one or two dings. You can finance it into your monthly payments at a low rate, making it a small addition that protects your vehicle’s value without straining your budget.

Can’t I just take my car to a local shop for cheaper dent repairs?

Local PDR shops might offer lower upfront costs, but their quality varies, and improper techniques can damage your Mercedes’ paint or alignment, potentially voiding warranties or reducing resale value. Our First Class plan ensures repairs are done by certified technicians at authorized Mercedes-Benz dealers, using OEM-approved methods to preserve your factory finish. The convenience of nationwide coverage and guaranteed quality outweighs the risks of third-party services, especially for a luxury vehicle.

If I sell or trade my car early, won’t this coverage go to waste?

Not at all—this plan is fully transferable to a new private owner for a small fee (typically $40), which can increase your resale or trade-in value by $300–$500, as buyers value the added protection. It’s available for both new and pre-owned Mercedes-Benz vehicles, so it stays with the car.

 

Many customers find that even if they trade in early, the plan either saves them on repairs or boosts their vehicle’s marketability, making it a worthwhile investment.

Coverage

My auto insurance should cover dents and dings, so why get this?

It’s a great point—comprehensive insurance may cover some damage, but claims for minor dents often fall below deductibles ($500–$1,000), leaving you to pay out-of-pocket. Plus, filing claims can increase premiums.

 

First Class Paintless Dent Repair has no deductible for covered repairs (dents up to 4 inches from hail, shopping carts, or minor impacts), and it won’t affect your insurance rates. It’s a hassle-free solution that handles everyday mishaps directly through our authorized dealers, saving you time and money.

Doesn't the factory warranty take care of any damage like this?

The Mercedes-Benz factory warranty is excellent for manufacturing defects, but it doesn’t cover external damage like dents from hail, car doors, or parking lot mishaps. First Class PDR specifically targets these common issues, offering unlimited repairs for eligible dents without compromising your vehicle’s original paint.

 

It’s a complementary layer of protection that ensures your Mercedes stays flawless, especially in situations the standard warranty doesn’t address.

What if the dent is too big or not covered?

The plan focuses on dents up to 4 inches caused by common hazards like hail, door dings, or minor impacts, which account for most cosmetic damage. Exclusions (like collision damage or dents with paint transfer) are clearly outlined in the warranty to keep costs reasonable, but the unlimited repair allowance ensures you’re covered for multiple incidents over the term. For larger issues, your insurance can step in, while this plan handles the frequent, smaller dings that insurance often won’t, creating a balanced protection strategy.

The size limit on dents seems restrictive—4 inches doesn’t cover much, right?

4 inches may sound small, but it covers the vast majority of everyday dings, like those from hail, minor door impacts, or small debris, which are the most frequent issues Mercedes owners face. Larger damage might require traditional bodywork, but this plan focuses on cost-effective, paintless repairs that maintain your factory finish.

 

With no limit on the number of repairs and coverage for up to 7 years, it’s tailored to handle the most common scenarios efficiently, keeping costs down and your car pristine.

How long does this coverage last? I don’t want it expiring too soon.

The First Class Paintless Dent Repair plan typically lasts up to 7 years, depending on the term you choose, with no mileage restrictions, aligning with most ownership periods. This ensures long-term protection against dents as your vehicle faces daily wear. Since it’s only available at purchase or lease, locking it in secures years of worry-free maintenance at authorized dealers, keeping your Mercedes looking flawless without unexpected repair bills.

Practicality

What if I’m a careful driver and park cautiously?

Even the most careful owners can’t control everything—stray shopping carts, hailstorms, or other drivers’ doors in tight lots can cause dings unexpectedly. In urban areas or during severe weather, these incidents are more common than you’d think.

 

This plan gives you peace of mind with unlimited repairs at no additional cost per claim, preserving your vehicle’s sleek appearance and resale value without worrying about unavoidable hazards.

What if I don’t care about minor dents—it’s just cosmetic and doesn’t affect driving, right?

We understand prioritizing function over aesthetics, but even small dents can reduce your Mercedes-Benz’s resale value by 10–15%—potentially thousands of dollars—since buyers expect a luxury vehicle to look impeccable. A single professional PDR session can cost $500+, and multiple dings add up fast.

 

This plan’s unlimited repairs ensure those minor imperfections are fixed at no extra cost, maintaining your car’s premium appeal and value while saving you the hassle and expense of addressing them later.
