Damaged Body Lines
Body line dents are among the more challenging repairs in Paintless Dent Repair (PDR). These dents occur along the sharp character lines, creases, or contours that give your vehicle’s body panels their distinctive shape.
Why are Body Lines Harder to Fix?
Body lines add strength and structure to a panel, damage in these areas requires precision, patience, and extensive experience to repair properly.
Are all Bodylines Repairable?
Whether a body line dent can be repaired depends on several factors, including the depth and size of the dent, location, severity of the crease, condition of the paint, and whether the metal has been stretched or sharply damaged.
What's the Cost?
Body line dents typically cost more to repair because they require more time, precision, and skill than a dent in a flat area of a panel. The sharp contours and reinforced areas of a body line can make the metal more difficult to manipulate and require a technician to carefully restore the panel without changing its original shape.
The additional cost reflects the extra time, skill, and precision required to get the repair right.
