Door dings, creases and hail damage massaged out from behind the panel by hand — no filler, no sanding, no repaint. Your finish stays exactly as it left the factory, and most dents are gone the same day.
Under a striped light, a dent gives itself away by bending the reflection. Our technicians read those lines while they work, pushing the metal back from behind until every one runs straight. Try it — pick a dent, then massage it out.

Why paintless
Two ways to fix a dent.
A body shop fills and repaints. We move the metal back where it was. When the paint is unbroken, that is faster, cheaper and invisible — and when it is not, we will tell you.

Hail claims
Hail season, handled.
Hail here runs from April to August, and one storm can leave a hundred dents on a hood. We do the counting, the paperwork and the repair — you hand over the keys and your deductible.
01
A free hail inspection
Every panel under the light, every dent counted, circled and photographed — usually in under an hour.
02
An estimate your insurer reads
We write it in your insurer’s format and meet the adjuster at the studio, so you do not have to.
03
Repaired in three to five days
Most cars are done inside a week. We can set up the rental through your claim before you drop off.
04
You pay your deductible
We bill the insurer directly. If a deductible waiver applies to your policy, we will tell you.

A shopping cart left a crease in my door. Ninety minutes later I could not find it, even under their light.
They counted 87 hail dents, dealt with my insurer and had the truck back in four days. I paid my deductible and nothing else.
The body shop wanted to repaint the fender. Smoothline fixed it for a third of the price, and the paint is still original.
Ray came to my office, set up his light in the parking lot, and two dings were gone before lunch.
The studio
Three pairs of patient hands.
Paintless repair is a craft learned over years, one panel at a time. These are the people who will read your car.
Adam Kerr
Founder · Master dent technician
Eighteen years and three hail seasons across four states before he opened Smoothline. Adam still does the creases nobody else will take.
Theo Lindgren
Lead technician · Hail
Reads a panel faster than most people read a page. Theo runs the hail line from April to August and the lights the rest of the year.
Ray Delacroix
Technician · Mobile repair
Takes the van and the portable board to homes and offices across the metro. Seven years without a dent he could not finish.

Questions
Good questions, straight answers.
Will the paint crack?
Not on a modern factory finish — it is flexible enough to move with the metal. Before we start we look for chips or cracks, and if we see any we tell you first.
Can every dent be fixed this way?
Most can. If the paint is broken, the metal is torn or the dent sits on a heavily braced edge, a body shop is the honest answer — and we will say so.
How long does a repair take?
A typical door ding takes thirty minutes to an hour. Creases take a few hours. Hail cars usually take three to five working days.
Will my insurance cover hail?
Comprehensive coverage usually does. We inspect, write the estimate in your insurer’s format and bill them directly — you pay your deductible.
Do I need an appointment?
For an assessment, no: drive in during open hours. For the repair, we book a time, often the same day.
Do you come to me?
For small dents, yes — Ray takes the mobile board anywhere within 25 miles. Hail and creases are best done here, under the full light.
What is the guarantee?
For as long as you own the car: if a dent we repaired comes back, we repair it again, free.
Book
Bring it into the light.
Tell us about the car and the dent — a photo by text helps. We will reply with a price range and the next free time, usually within the hour.
