Dent Repair in Merrillville, Indiana

What Are the Different Types of Dents?

Dents come in all shapes and sizes, but there are four types we see often for our dent repair services. A round dent is arguably the most common and caused by a circular object, such as hail or a ball. It rarely disturbs the paint and can normally be treated with paintless dent removal. A crease dent is longer in length and more likely to damage the metal of your vehicle; think of a sharp object being dragged against your car. A sharp dent is caused by a strong impact, such as a shopping cart rolling into your vehicle. An extreme or serious dent is the result of a collision with a large object, like another car. Car dings are grouped in the dent class, but they are much less severe and easier to fix. A ding is distinguished by its size (less than half an inch in diameter) with no paint chipping or metal exposure; it is caused by smaller items, such as a rock.
