Crease Repair
Crease Dent Repair in San Antonio
A crease is a dent with a direction. Instead of one point of impact, something dragged along the panel, stretching the metal in a line. Creases are the hardest repair in paintless dent repair because the metal has to be brought up along the whole length at once. Push too hard in one spot and you trade a crease for a high spot, which is worse. The work is slow and it is done in many small passes rather than a few big ones, which is why some shops will not quote them at all.

What it covers
Crease Dent Repair includes
- Long creases on doors, fenders, and bed sides
- Creases that cross a body line, which need the line re-established
- Sharp creases where the metal has stretched, worked as far as the panel allows
- An honest assessment of how close to perfect the panel will come
- Combination repairs where a crease sits alongside separate dents
How it works
The crease repair process
01
Assess the stretch
Under the reflector board we can see how far the metal has moved. That determines whether the crease will come back fully or partially, and we tell you which before we start.
02
Work the length gradually
Many small passes along the full crease rather than concentrated pressure in one place. This is the part that takes time and cannot be rushed.
03
Re-establish the body line
If the crease crossed a factory line, the line comes back before the surface around it is finished, or the panel will never read straight.
04
Final inspection with you
Creases are the repair most worth looking at together under the lights, because the honest result is sometimes very good rather than invisible.

Questions
Crease Dent Repair questions
Can every crease be fully removed?
No, and any shop that promises otherwise is guessing. Where the metal has stretched badly the panel may come back to ninety percent rather than perfect. We will tell you which one we are expecting before you commit.
Why do creases cost more than a round dent of the same size?
Because the work scales with length, not area. A crease is effectively a row of dents that all have to move together, and moving them out of sequence creates new damage.
Another shop said my crease was not repairable. Is it worth a second look?
Often, yes. Creases sit right at the boundary of what is possible, and that boundary moves with technique and access. A second opinion costs you nothing here.
