Crease Dent Repair in Sioux Falls, SD

Today we will be talking about a crease style dent that will be repaired using the paintless dent repair method on a 2013 Ford Mustang. Paintless dent repair can also be referred to as paintless dent removal or as PDR.  This vehicle was recently purchased by our customer and he didn’t notice this damage prior to purchasing this vehicle.  The customer happened to be washing his vehicle shortly after purchasing his new Mustang and found this damage while drying the vehicle off.  After discovering this newly noted damage he had to have it fixed right away, after all who wants to drive around in a newer car like a Mustang and have a big dent in it!  He contacted us to come to his home in Sioux Falls, SD and give him a damage assessment.  He was very happy to find out  we could fix this using the paintless dent repair method rather than take it to a body shop.  This customer had prior experience in the paint and body industry and knew of all of the potential issues when it comes to painting a car, from incorrect color matches to adhesion issues, he knew he choose the correct form of repair for his vehicle.

We start the video off with showing you the damage in the natural light reflection,  this would be how a customer would see the damage if the car was for instance parked in their garage.  Next we show what the damage looks like under a professional paintless dent repair light,  to a technicians eyes they are then able to see the damage with much more precision, this allows them to fix it at the highest level!

To start this repair off, we roll the window down and install a stainless steel window guard, this protects the window from any damage when we install our tools down though the glass opening.  We then will setup our light to allow us to see the damage and start the repair.  During this repair process you will see the technician twists the tool with his wrist, this creates a prying motion on the damage slowly pushing it or massaging it back into its original shape.  Throughout the process the technician also uses what is called a blending hammer, the blue hammer shown in the video, to slowly blend the damage out.  This hammer has specialized tips on it that are highly polished and will not harm the painted finish.  When using a blending hammer, every hit that is made on the painted finish sends vibrations into the metal panel, this helps with the metal to move back into its original shape, making for a much cleaner repair.  The technician will then go back to using his tool to push the damage out once again.  Also shown later in the video is the use of glue pulling.  The glue pulling method was used in this case to pull out some of the slightly deeper damage, by using this other style of repair the technician is able to pull out bigger sections of the damage faster then once the damage is pulled out to a satisfactory point, the tech will then switch back to a tool to pin point the low spots and continue to remove the damage.

We finish the video off when showing you the damage completely repaired in both the natural light and with a paintless dent repair light.  As you can see the damage turned out great, the customer was very happy with the repair, and happy he choose Sioux Falls Dent Repair to repair his vehicle!

5 Reasons You Need to Repair Hail Damage Promptly

Hailstorms in Sioux Falls can be disconcerting at the best of times.

Loud noises, low visibility, and hail damage are common features, and there is little to nothing that can be done about it, except wait out the hailstorm in safety. The same is not always possible for your car, and it may experience hail damage on its roof, hood, trunk, and other body parts.

In such an event, immediate repairs are very important, and below, we will discuss 5 reasons why you need to repair hail damage promptly.

If your car has experienced hail damage, we highly recommend getting repairs from the experts at Sioux Falls Dent Repair in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

5 Reasons You Need to Repair Hail Damage Promptly

You may need to repair hail damage promptly due to many reasons. Here are the 5 main ones.

  • Impression

Your car’s condition sends onlookers a message about how well you regard your property, and a hail-damaged car can give the wrong impression.

  • Deterioration

The dents and dings caused by a hail storm can become very problematic as time passes. They can experience deterioration and cause the paint to crack, which exposes the body to the elements. Hence, dust and water can seep in to cause rust, which is the worst thing that can happen to any car.

  • Second Hail Event

If your car experiences a second hailstorm while it is still damaged from the first, it can create bigger problems. The dents and dings become even more pronounced, and this can cost you more in repairs or worse, replacement of body parts.

  • Resale Value

Replacement of body parts and repainting because of lack of prompt dent repairs can cause your car to lose much of its resale value.

  • Eligibility for Painless Dent Repair (PDR)

The longer you wait to repair the dents and dings from hail damage, the lower your chances of getting a professional Paintless Dent Repair (PDR), which is the best solution for hail damage. It can repair the dents and dings without the need for scraping, fillers, or repainting any body parts.

Benefits of Professional PDR

A professional PDR has many benefits over traditional dent repair, including:

  • Time
    Your save time because there is no replacement, repainting, or subsequent drying of paint involved in PDR.
  • Money
    The lack of material costs for parts, fillers, or paint means you only pay for a certified technician that performs the PDR, hence PDR costs less than traditional dent repair.
  • Resale Value
    Since you are not replacing parts or repainting, the original paint coat of your car is preserved, saving you a ton of money in its resale value.
