Crease & Body Line Repair

A crease is not a big dent. It bends along a line, and the body line has to run straight again.

Before You Choose a Service

The Questions Everyone Asks First.

How do I know if my car needs PDR or a body shop?
Look at the paint. If the paint is intact and the metal is pushed in, paintless dent repair restores the panel with the factory finish untouched and nothing lands on the Carfax. If the paint is broken, the plastic is torn, or the metal is creased through, the repair moves to refinishing or a body shop. Text photos to 858-408-6200 and we tell you which one honestly.
Do you come to my location for dent, bumper, and scratch repair?
Yes. Mobile dent, bumper, and scratch repair run at your location across all of San Diego County, and the Escondido shop handles repairs that want a controlled environment. The standard is the same either way.
How fast can I get a real price?
Within minutes. Text a few photos in good light to 858-408-6200 and a technician replies with a real range, not a placeholder. Remote photo estimates run 24/7.
Can you fix a scuffed bumper corner without replacing the bumper?
Yes. Corner scuffs and scrapes are refinished to your exact factory color for $395 to $600+ depending on color and damage, and your original factory bumper stays on the car. Replacement is what body shops quote because it is easy to sell, not because it fits better.
What does dent repair cost in San Diego?
Standard door dings run $197 to $250. Medium dents run $275 to $500. Creases run $225 to $400, large creases $500 to $1,500 and up, and large dents $500 to $4,000. Bumper dents with no paint damage run $250 to $300 and corner refinishing runs $395 to $600+. Every quote comes from your photos before any work begins.
