Jody Crawford

At the center of precision auto body restoration, paintless dent repair (PDR), and shop management at Dents Plus is Owner Jody Crawford. Serving vehicle owners throughout Rapid City, SD, and the surrounding Black Hills region, Jody brings over 25 years of specialized automotive experience to every vehicle that enters his facility. Having dedicated his career to the fine art of metal shaping and structural auto body care, Jody leads his shop with a commitment to unyielding repair standards, rapid turnaround times, and complete customer satisfaction.

Jody’s core area of expertise lies in hail damage repair and advanced paintless dent removal. Weather in the Black Hills can unleash severe hailstorms that leave vehicles covered in complex, unsightly dents and dings. As a certified Master Dent Technician, Jody specializes in meticulously massaging damaged sheet metal back to its original factory contours without disturbing the vehicle’s original factory paint finish. This specialized, non-invasive process preserves the vehicle's original coat, protects resale value, and eliminates the need for heavy body fillers or extensive repainting.

Over Two Decades of Local Heritage, In-House Quality & Insurance Coordination

Established as a family- and locally owned business in 2001, Dents Plus has served as Rapid City’s premier destination for quality auto body and dent repair for over two decades. Jody operates his shop under a strict principle of excellence: all work is performed entirely in-house. By keeping every phase of repair under direct supervision rather than farming work out to third-party sub-contractors, Jody ensures that every vehicle meets his exacting personal standards before keys are handed back to the customer.

Jody recognizes that dealing with auto body damage—whether from a sudden severe hail event or an unexpected collision—can disrupt daily routines. To make the recovery process as seamless as possible, Jody and his skilled team provide fast service completed within 1 to 3 days on most projects, complete with free loaner cars so customers can stay mobile while their vehicle is restored. Dents Plus offers same-day free estimates, works directly with all insurance companies to streamline claims processing, and backs all completed repairs with comprehensive labor warranties.
