Whether you drive a new Ford truck, SUV, or car, Ding Shield helps keep your vehicle looking its best while reducing unexpected repair expenses.


What Is the Ding Shield Protection Plan?

Ding Shield is a vehicle appearance protection plan designed to help cover minor dents, dings, creases, hail damage, and windshield chip repairs.

Benefits include:

  • Unlimited paintless dent repair for covered dents and dings

  • Protection against minor hail damage

  • Windshield chip repair coverage (Ultimate Plan)

  • Fast repairs without traditional body shop work

  • Preservation of factory paint and finish

  • Improved vehicle appearance and resale value

Additional Ultimate Benefits:

  • Windshield chip repair

  • Rock chip damage protection

  • Repairs performed before minor damage becomes a costly windshield replacement


Why Paintless Dent Repair Matters

Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) is one of the most effective ways to remove dents while maintaining your vehicle's original factory finish.

Unlike traditional body shop repairs that may require sanding, fillers, and repainting, PDR:

  • Preserves factory paint

  • Maintains vehicle value

  • Provides faster repairs

  • Reduces downtime

  • Delivers professional results

Many minor dents and dings can be repaired quickly without replacing body panels or affecting manufacturer paint warranties.

Hail storms are a common concern for vehicle owners throughout Bismarck, Mandan, Lincoln, and surrounding North Dakota communities.

Protect Your Vehicle's Resale Value

Vehicle appearance directly impacts trade-in value and resale potential.
