Door dent on the crease of our 2012 GT500's pass door.

Wife was loading up the kids in our truck and came inside in tears, the back door on our truck got pushed open further and it popped a small dent right on the top crease section of the door on our 2012 GT500. I could touch up the small chip of paint missing but it made a small dent, and I'm curious how hard this will be to fix since it's on the crease

I would highly recommend a good paintless dent repair shop. A shopping cart hit my wife's Passat wagon and left a six inch crease just below the belt line in a rear door. One hour of work and it was gone. You cannot even see where it was. And, the car is reflex silver, which shows every little mark. Good luck..

I agree, try a paintless dent repair shop. At most they will have to remove the interior door trim. You can also do that prior to your appointment yourself. They have the proper tools (dollies, picks, hammers, spoons) to push it back out and reshape it like new. The shop near me is called "Dent Doctor".

There's probably somewhere closer to you than this, but there is a paint less repair place in San Antonio that is unbelievably good at it. It's called the concours auto salon, I've used them before (recently in fact) and I was shocked at how good a job they did. It shouldn't be too difficult to get it out regardless, I don't think. Good luck with it.

Last PDR I had done they came to where I worked and did it in the parking lot.

It's amazing what those guys can do, worth at least twice what I paid.

I tried to learn how to do it one time but I just didn't have the patience for it.

Usually, when you call the paintless dent repair places, if you ask to talk to the technician and talk to him about the damage, tell him you'll be paying with cash. You can usually get a lower rate because he'll do it "under the table."

Rick, before you go give your Insurance company a call. It may be covered under the comprehenive section of your policy. That is if ya'll have that in the great State of Texas. Should. I dropped a ladder on the Wifey's Crown Vic, after I got my beating and left the ER, I called the Insurance. They coverered the repair.

I had no plans on calling insurance, repair cost will be less then my deductible amount.

Most folks (at least me) have a $500.00 deductable or higher to afford the cost of full coverage. I'm sure hoping the cost of a PDR is less than my deductable.

No deductible on comprehensive. Just your liability. Different sections of the policy.

Rick I have been using Oscar at the ding shop out of Austin. He has done the last two clear bras for my cars and is supposed to be pretty good at PDR. Also there is a shop in round rock by the fuddruckers (cant remember the name) that got a dent on the creased fender line of my 03 cobra out really well.

I've done dent work with my uncle, (who has been doing it for 24 yrs) and on the crease, as long as the person knows what they're doing is a simple fix.
