Bodyline dents are one of the most challenging types of damage to repair, as they affect the sharp styling lines of the vehicle and require a high level of precision to restore.
Fortunately, using specialist Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) techniques, many bodyline dents can be removed without the need for fillers, sanding, or repainting.
In this case study, our IMI-accredited technicians successfully repaired a bodyline dent on the rear of a Tesla Model Y, restoring the panel to its original condition in just three hours while preserving the original factory paint finish.
The repair cost just £345 + VAT, providing a more efficient and cost-effective alternative to a traditional repair while preserving the original factory finish.

Tesla Model Y PDR Repair – Before & After
The Problem
The customer contacted Dent Detail PDR after discovering a moderate bodyline dent on the rear of their Tesla Model Y.
Although they were unsure exactly how the damage had occurred, bodyline dents commonly result from low-speed impacts such as car park incidents, reversing into a bollard or post, shopping trolley impacts, or contact with a falling object.
Unlike dents on a flat panel, bodyline dents are significantly more challenging to repair because they can stretch the metal across the crease. This requires a high level of precision, specialist equipment, and an experienced Paintless Dent Repair technician to restore the panel without compromising the original factory paint finish.
Concerned about preserving the vehicle’s appearance and avoiding the higher cost and downtime associated with a traditional bodyshop repair, the customer contacted Dent Detail PDR to assess whether the damage could be repaired using PDR.
The Solution
Following a thorough assessment, our technicians confirmed that the bodyline dent was an ideal candidate for Paintless Dent Repair (PDR), meaning the damage could be removed without the need for fillers, sanding, or repainting.
Using specialist PDR tools and precision techniques, we carefully gained access behind the damaged panel and gradually worked the stretched metal back to its original shape.
Bodyline dents require exceptional control and accuracy to restore the panel’s sharp contours while preserving the vehicle’s original factory paint finish.
Over the course of approximately three hours, our experienced technicians meticulously repaired the dent, leaving no visible signs of the previous damage and restoring the Tesla Model Y to its pre-damage condition.
The Outcome
The bodyline dent was successfully removed using PDR, restoring the rear panel of the Tesla Model Y to its original condition without altering the vehicle’s original paintwork.
By avoiding the need for fillers, sanding, or repainting, the customer benefited from a faster, more cost-effective repair without compromising the vehicle’s appearance or value.
The customer was delighted with the finished result, with all visible signs of the dent removed and the vehicle looking as though the damage had never occurred.

Customer Feedback
“Called Dent Detail PDR, in the morning about a dent in my Tesla Model Y Performance. They were fully booked but worked me into their day. The dent’s gone, paintwork’s untouched, you’d never know it was there. Very professional, the repair’s spot on, ran my hand over the panel afterwards and couldn’t even find where it had been. No messing about, just tidy, careful work. If you need paintless dent removal on a Tesla, they are the one to call. 5 stars.”
