When most people think of Paintless Dent Repair (PDR), they picture small dings and hail dents. But what about sharp, deep crease dents that look beyond repair? Surprisingly, PDR is often capable of repairing even challenging crease dents — as long as certain conditions are met.

Let’s break down how it works and when your vehicle qualifies.

What Is a Crease Dent?

A crease dent is a long, narrow dent typically caused by something scraping along your vehicle’s surface — like a car door, a shopping cart, or a metal object. Unlike round dents, crease dents involve stretched metal and can appear more severe.

How Paintless Dent Repair Works on Creases

PDR uses specialized tools to massage the metal from behind the panel, carefully reshaping it without affecting the paint. When it comes to crease dents, the repair process is more precise and time-consuming, but it’s still possible with the right technician and tools.

✅ Signs Your Crease Dent May Be a Good Candidate for PDR

The paint is not cracked or chipped
The dent isn’t on the edge of a panel
There’s no previous bodywork in the same area
The metal isn’t excessively stretched
