or Not all dents are created equal—some are simple little dings, and others leave behind long, unsightly creases that seem like they’ll need a full-on body shop visit. If you’re staring at a crease in your car’s panel and wondering what your options are, the good news is: Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) might still be able to fix it. And better yet? Dent Sharks can take care of it without you ever having to leave your driveway.
Let’s talk about how PDR works with creases—and when it’s the right solution for your car.
What Exactly Is a Crease Dent?
A crease dent usually happens when something drags along the side of your car—maybe a runaway shopping cart, a bike handle, or even another car door. Instead of a small, round ding, you get a long, sharp line that distorts the shape of the panel. These types of dents can look serious, but they’re not always as bad as they seem.
That’s where paintless dent repair comes in.
So… Can PDR Fix a Crease?
In many cases, yes! While creases are more complex than your average dent, they’re not necessarily beyond repair. The key is looking at a few important details:
✔ The Paint Is Still Good
If the paint hasn’t cracked or chipped, you’re in luck. Paintless dent repair only works when the original paint is intact, and creases that meet this condition are often great candidates.
✔ The Metal Isn’t Too Stretched
When a dent stretches the metal too far, it doesn’t want to go back into shape. But if the metal still has its “memory” and wants to return to its original form, our techs can usually coax it back into place with the right tools and techniques.
✔ We Can Reach It
Access is everything. PDR involves getting behind the panel and gently massaging the metal back into place. If we can get to the area from behind—like inside a door, fender, or quarter panel—there’s a good chance we can fix it.
How Dent Sharks Gets It Done
Once we look at the damage and confirm it’s a PDR candidate, the process is surprisingly simple—and quick.
One of our experienced technicians comes to you (home, office, wherever). They’ll assess the crease in person and use special tools to slowly and carefully reshape the panel from behind. There’s no sanding, no repainting, and no guesswork involved.
Your original paint stays untouched, and the panel is brought back to its pre-dent shape. In most cases, the work takes just a few hours. And because it’s all done on-site, you don’t have to change your plans or go without your car.
