• Paintless dent repair – the labor and time it takes the technician to actually fix the dents.
• Remove and Install cost (R&I) – labor cost to remove and install parts on the car as needed to gain access to perform the PDR.
• Part replacements – Sometimes hail damages parts on the car such as the windshield which will need to be replaced or chrome moldings that are ordered from the manufacturer and replaced.
• Sales Tax – Colorado only includes sales taxes on vehicles, not on labor costs.

If there is paint damage, you also need to factor in body time, paint time, and paint & material costs.
