Crease Dent Repair in Lake Charles
A crease is a dent with a sharp, linear fold, often from a door edge, a strap, a fallen branch, or a glancing hit. Creases are harder than round dings because the metal has stretched along the fold, but many can still be improved dramatically or fully repaired without paint.
Why creases take more skill
Round dents let the metal move back evenly. A crease concentrates the stress along a line, so the tech has to work the metal in small, controlled steps, often from both sides of the fold, and check the reflection constantly. Rushing a crease can make high spots. Slow, careful work is what gets a clean result.
Body lines and panel edges
Dents that run into a character line or a panel edge are among the trickiest. The line has to be rebuilt as well as the dent removed, and access from behind is often limited. Whether PDR is a fit depends on how the line sits and whether the paint has cracked along it. We look at each one individually and tell you before we start.

Crease Dent Repair FAQs
Can a sharp crease be fully removed?
Some can, some can only be improved. It depends on how far the metal has stretched and whether the paint has cracked. We are upfront about which one yours is.
Do creases on a body line cost more?
They usually take more time, so the quote reflects the work involved. We quote per job.
Will the paint crack while you work on it?
PDR is done on paint that is already intact. If paint is already cracked, we will let you know beforehand that PDR will not fix that.
