Crease and Body-Line Dent Repair

A crease is a long, sharp dent, usually from something sliding along the panel. A body-line dent sits on the styled line that runs down the side of your car. Both are harder than a round ding, and many shops send them straight to paint. Dean fixes many creases and body-line dents with paintless dent repair and keeps your factory paint.

Why Creases Are Harder

In a crease, the metal is folded tight and often stretched. It has to be relaxed and moved back slowly, from the ends toward the middle, or the panel ends up wavy. Body lines are sharp by design, so the line has to be rebuilt crisp and straight.

How Dean Repairs a Crease

He works the crease in stages — pushing from behind, tapping down high spots, and checking the reflection until the line looks right. This takes skill and patience. That's why a customer who had a dent "on the crease, above it, and below it" left a 5-star review.

When a Crease Needs Paint

If the paint is cracked along the crease or the metal is stretched too far, PDR can't make it perfect. Dean will tell you up front.

Cost of Crease Repair

Creases cost more than door dings because they take longer. Length, depth, and whether it crosses a body line matter most. Text photos for a price.
