Crease & Major Dent Repair in Bartow, Florida

Those long, ugly creases and deeper dents — carefully worked out with precision tools.

Based in Bartow — Serving Central Florida

What Is Crease Repair?

Creases are a specific type of dent — linear, sharp folds in the metal that look like a line was pressed into the panel. They're often caused by something sliding across the vehicle's surface, a glancing impact, or a heavier object making contact. Creases are more challenging than round dents because the metal has been folded along a line, which requires more skill and precision to repair.

Major dents — larger, deeper indentations from more significant impacts — are also candidates for paintless dent repair if the paint is still intact. Pete has the experience and specialized tools to handle both creases and major dents, carefully working the metal back to its original contour without the need for fillers or repainting.

These repairs take more time and skill than a simple door ding, but the results speak for themselves. When Pete finishes a crease or major dent repair, the panel looks like new — no trace of the damage, no mismatched paint, no body filler hiding underneath.

Benefits of Crease Repair

Saves vs. Traditional Bodywork

PDR for creases and major dents is typically a fraction of the cost of a body shop repair with fillers and repainting.

Preserves Original Paint

No repainting means no color mismatch and your vehicle retains its factory finish and value.

Skilled Craftsmanship

Crease repair requires advanced PDR techniques — Pete has 20+ years of experience with complex damage.

No Body Filler

The metal itself is restored, not covered up. No risk of filler cracking or shrinking over time.

Faster Than Body Shop

Even complex crease repairs are usually completed in a day or two, not the weeks a body shop may need.

Insurance-Friendly

PDR is often the preferred method for insurance claims, keeping costs down and preserving vehicle value.
