Send the damage from your driveway. Straight on, then at an angle with a reflection running across the panel — that second shot is the one that tells us how deep it is.
SOMERSET, WISCONSIN
Somerset dent repair
Somerset dent repair
and detailing.
Somerset is Highway 64 and the Apple River, which means two very different kinds of work: highway damage on the outside of the car, and a summer's worth of river season on the inside.
THE SOMERSET PATTERN
River season is hard on interiors.
From late spring through Labor Day, Somerset vehicles carry wet people, wet gear and river sand. Sunscreen transfers onto door cards and steering wheels and does not simply wipe off. Damp towels sit on carpet for a week. Coolers leak. By September the interior smells like the season it just had.
That is a specific detailing job, not a vacuum and a spray bottle: hot-water extraction on carpet and seats, enzyme treatment for odor at the source rather than over the top of it, and a proper clean of the plastics that sunscreen has soaked into. It is also the single best thing you can do to a vehicle before selling it.
- Carpet and upholstery extraction for water, sand and mildew
- Odor treatment that targets the cause, not the symptom
- Sunscreen and body-oil removal from plastics and leather
- Interior protection before the next season starts
OUTSIDE THE CAR
Highway 64 and open sky.
Somerset sits in open country, which is a polite way of saying hail gets a clear shot at it. When a cell tracks through, we see full-vehicle work: hoods, roofs and trunk lids covered in shallow round dents that paintless repair handles without a drop of new paint. Keeping the factory finish is the entire point — it is what protects the vehicle's value at resale.
The rest of the year it is Highway 64: rock chips, mirror rash, and the door dings that come with every gas station and grocery lot between here and New Richmond.
- Full-vehicle hail repair with factory paint preserved
- Documentation for qualifying insurance claims
- Door dings and creases, usually same-day
- Rock chip and highway rash assessment
DEALER WORK
The shop Somerset Auto Sales sends cars to.
We handle reconditioning for Somerset Auto Sales, which means vehicles that have to be front-line ready on a schedule and look worth their sticker under a lot's lighting. If you are buying locally, there is a reasonable chance we already touched the car.
If you are selling privately, the same work is available to you directly — and it typically returns more than it costs.
A real number.
Before you drive over.
You should never guess at a repair price, and you should never make the half-hour drive to find out we can't help. Three steps, no games.

We come back with the price, the method, and the turnaround before you leave Somerset. If paintless isn't the right path, we tell you that instead of selling you something.
One trip, done.
Most single-panel work is finished the same day, so the drive happens once. Bigger jobs get a firm pickup time, not a "we'll call you."

Somerset questions, answered.
What people ask before making the drive.
Can you get river sand and mildew smell out of my interior?
In most cases, yes — but it depends on how long the moisture sat and whether it reached the padding under the carpet. Extraction plus enzyme treatment handles the large majority of river-season interiors. If water got into the padding and has been there for months, we will tell you what is realistically achievable before you pay for it.
My whole hood and roof got hail. Is that still paintless?
Usually. Hail dents are typically shallow, round and spread across horizontal panels, which is exactly what paintless dent repair is built for. The limits are cracked paint and dents on a sharp body line or an edge with no access behind it. We scope it panel by panel and tell you which category yours falls in.
How far is your shop from Somerset?
About half an hour south, at 663 Valerie Ave in River Falls. Text photos first so the trip only has to happen once.
Do you do the same work for regular customers as for the dealership?
Same technician, same standard, same lighting. The dealership just gets a schedule attached to it.
