In a word, excellent workmanship. John saved me several hundred dollars fixing my front fender. I have seen him around and he has repaired vehicles that have been in my shop. I highly recommend him. If I could post pictures of the before and after repairs I would! read more

John is such a pro! Showed up on time, communicated promptly and did an amazing job fixing the dent on our Prius! I couldn't even tell where the ding was and my bumper looks brand new. We had him redo the faded headlights as well and they are crystal clear again. Fair pricing and actually a deal considering he came to us. Definitely using him next time. read more

Did a great job! Communicated efficiently. Will definitely recommend to friends and family if they have a minor accident.

I had an awesome experience! After my car was bumped hard TWICE in 1 week, I thought I was looking at a BIG repair to the bumper. John was able to buff out all but the deepest scratch & expertly touched up that one. Super quality work, very fast & convenient & under $200.! I love doing business with local artisan-owners, so this was terrific. Thanks :) read more

John did a fabulous job on our car today. We have used him twice now. His work is superb. He is a true professional. I would highly recommend using him if you want an excellent result at a reasonable price. read more

Your Review I backed out of my garage a little too quickly, bumped into the garage door and scratched up the back of my Lexus SUV. Pretty minor scratches and one minor dent, but something I wanted to get fixed. I knew going to an auto body shop was going to be expensive and time consuming. So I went onto a local business review provider and looked up "mobile bumper dings" and found nothing but rave reviews about Color Solutions. I called John, texted him some photos of my dings and he gave me a quote right there on the phone. The price was very reasonable and I'm sure much cheaper than an auto body shop. I setup an appointment right then and there. John arrived on time and we chatted for a bit. Really nice guy and solid individual. He setup in my driveway and finished the job quickly. He did an outstanding job! The paint match was perfect and you'd never know there were previously scratches and dents. If you are at all worried about the quality of a mobile paint and repair service, you don't need to be with Color Solutions! I would highly recommend Color Solutions to anyone who is looking for a mobile paint and dent repair service. John was great and the price was so reasonable! Overall, an outstanding experience, can't say enough good things! read more

John Haynes did a great job on my escalade. Total repair of a number scrape that was being quote up to $1000 at other places. John didn't blotch some color like white out on paper, he sanded down, retextured and blended the patch so that you would never know there was a repair. Price was reasonable at roughly $200. All finished in 2hrs in my driveway at home. read more

I contacted John based on previous reviews and his location, as I'm visiting from out of town. I had a little altercation between the rear door of my daughters car and a garage door and was hoping to avoid the dreaded dealership hassle. I was hoping to get an estimate and have it fixed over the next few days before I needed to return home, and John pulled out a box of tools and proceeded to fix it on the spot. Obviously quality of work is critical when selecting a business, but customer service is a deciding factor and without reservation John provided both. read more

I called John based on the Yelp reviews I read. Wow, he did not disappoint! We called on Wednesday and he was out to do the work on Thursday. Came to the house. It doesn't get more convenient than that. We have a Lexus RX in that pearly white color. I thought it would be really hard to fix without replacing the entire bumper, but John was able to do it. I went out to look at his work and I forgot which side had been damaged and I could seriously not tell. That's how well it was done. I think his pricing was reasonable and he was very professional. I can without hesitation recommend his service. If ever I need this type of work done again, there's no question who I will call. Thank you John. read more

Super good service. Punctual, professional and excellent attention to detail. Bryan was so careful with his work I was amazed. My repairs were probably typical. After having him come out to repair my front (plastic and painted) bumper that had several issues on my late model Tundra truck and scheduled him to fix a bumper and rusting ding on another car, an Acura TLS. Both projects came out great and now the big blemishes on the cars are gone. Bryan is fine clean cut professional and you will be treated to great service from him. read more

John worked on my GTI in November '14. I had some damage along the seam of my rear driver's side quarter panel, above the wheel. John was extremely good in communicating his availability and his pricing. He clearly explained to me my options: repair one panel vs two panels. John worked on my car from 7am-9am in order to fit into my work schedule, and the finished work looked fantastic. Great prices, great quality, and a great guy. I will undoubtedly be calling John the next time I need some bodywork, and you should too! read more

John Haynes is the best. Performed three repairs on my two year old leased vehicle in three hours. He explained what he could and could not do. Prices are reasonable and literally thousands less the dealer wanted. Highly recommend. read more

I couldn't be happier with the work that John Haynes did on a rental car that I scratched up. I didn't want to turn it in to the rental company and have them charge me an obscene amount for the damage, so I called John and he came to the rescue! John was very professional and was able to schedule my appointment very quickly after he assessed the damage. After about two hours of work, I could not tell where the scratches had been. His prices were also very reasonable. I'm sure I would have paid much, much more if I had taken it to a body shop and I probably wouldn't have received such quick and friendly service. I'd definitely hire him again if I need any paint work done. I highly recommend his services. Thank you so much, John! read more

John Haynes provides a much-needed service in a professional manner. He explained the process of repairing my bumper and described the best and worst case scenarios when he did the estimate. The work was more than satisfying and I would use and recommend Color Solutions without hesitation. read more

Brian from Color Solutions in Encinitas is the BOMB!!! I had a super deep scratch down to the metal on the drivers door my new mustang. He spent 5 hours dialing the repain in, and it is UNNOTICABLE!!! If you are looking for quality work done by someone who truly cares about what he is doing, call Brian!! read more

So convenient... John did an amazing job on a dent and deep paint gash in my Porsche's driver side door. Couldn't be happier.

If you want it done right, by a true professional, call these guys. Many provider's work will look fairly good when you drive away...John's work looks factory perfect and will continue to look that way for years to come. Getting professional results that last is what I've consistently gotten from Color Solutions (they have repaired at least three of my cars, multiple times over the years). read more

I hit a rock and scratched and dented my front bumper. A friend referred me to John after I had been quoted $800 and $1000 at body shops. I called John and he was way less than half of the prices I had been quoted. My car looks like new. I was scheduled very quickly and fixed in a couple of hours. He was very professional and fixed my cloudy headlights as well. The quality is amazing. read more

After getting all kind of estimates to repair/paint my scratched bumper, I found John on YELP. He was more than helpful, his prices are very reasonable and the work was top notch. He actually came over my house and did the entire work on our driveway. I highly recommend this place. read more

I've met John two time - too many. First, to repair a ding on my Lexus' front bumper, and second, to mend a 12" gash in the same area six months later. Concerning round two, I am confident there are few capable of making the damage disappear entirely. My bumper is fabricated from a flexible, synthetic material, the paint is a triple color, and it was basically in two pieces. John is a meticulous craftsman who shows up on time and is honest, reliable and reasonable, and his service is convenient as he brings his mobile studio to your home or business. read more

I found John working on someone else's car while driving through my neighborhood in Seven Oaks. I stopped and asked about repairing the scrapes on my car. He took the time to thoroughly look it over and give me a quote. I looked him up on the internet and was impressed with his bio and his moral commitment to doing a fair and honest job. Without even asking for another quote from someone else, I chose him to do the job. He arrived on time and spent 6 hours bringing my car back to its original beauty! While working on my car, my neighbor came over and asked for a quote too. He came back the next day and worked on her car and she was very pleased with his work. I highly recommend John! It's so wonderful to find someone with integrity and great skills! read more

Very good result for a scratches on my SVU. The match was exact - beautiful work. Moreover, John sets up exact times for appointments at your location, confirms and then called to say he was running a bit early - the job completed in the stated time. A local small business I am happy to support and recommend highly. read more

My wife and I both had scrapes on our cars from our garage. We couldn't stand looking at those scratches so we had to get them fixed fast. We scrambled and researched auto body paint places and the estimates were very expensive. Then I stumbled upon John. He was very accommodating and was able to make an early morning appointment at our home while being a fraction of the price of an auto body or paint place. When he showed up he was very professional, prompt, and educated me on the process as he went along. I couldn't believe how he was able to take these scratches and make it look like new. He matched the paint on both of our cars perfectly! Very thorough and efficient! If you have scrapes, dings or whatever, he will make it look like new! Thank you John! read more

His eye for color matching paint is 100% right on, I would recommend him to anybody! He is super nice too, explains the whole process as he goes. I will never go to anyone else for sure. So happy to have found him! Thank you again! From: Jeanne and Mark. read more

John sets up appointment, is on time, quality of repair is excellent, reasonable rates, very professional. Don't bother to go anywhere else for bumper repair. read more

Had a big scratch in my Mercedes and after getting quoted thousands of dollars from body shops I called John. He gave me a quote over the phone after looking at my pics. Was a fraction of what the dealers quoted me. He came to my house and started working on my car. He knocked on my door in a hr. When I came out, all the scratches were gone. He matched my paint and given the price I paid for the job, I couldn't be happier. Highly recommend him. read more

John came out to fix issues on both of our cars. Between tight parking spaces and a rolling garage door, we had some nicks and scratches that were in need of TLC. He spend time with us on the phone and answered all of our questions prior to starting any work. I appreciate that John gave us options that varied in cost. We are very happy with the finished result and would recommend him highly. read more

Color Solutions is fantastic! Extremely professional and very reasonably priced. Excellent work, I have personally seen a couple of their "before" and "afters" and their work is amazing. I have recommended them to several friends and clients and every single one of them has raved about how great they are. read more

I highly recommend John Haynes of Color Solutions. He is a true professional. He shows up on time and even calls to confirm before he shows up. His work repairing a large scratch on my bumper and then seamlessly blending the paint was top notch. He also did touch up work on the same car and another vehicle as well. He is so trustworthy that I paid him before he finished (I rarely do this). And, his total price was very reasonable and much better than going to a body shop. Thanks John! read more

I can't be any happier with John's work, really professional, reasonable price, easy to schedule an appointment and done within a couple of hours, he even let me took the car to his home, since I live in an apartment complex where is not a lot of space for him to work. For sure I'll go back if I ever need help with my car thanks John. read more

John has repaired two of my cars that have been in minor fender benders. He miraculously fixed a triangle shaped hole in the rear bumper after being punctured by someone's trailer hitch. This only took him one afternoon. He has also repaired my other car that had its front backed into in a parking lot. That car had paint, bumper and body damage. John built up the bumper and body and matched the paint perfectly. Again, this only took a few hours. He makes it ultra convenient because he comes to your house and can fix the car right in your driveway. John is efficient, affordable, and pleasant to work with. So glad I found him because he does such a beautiful job. read more

My cars rear bumper was damaged at a a car wash. The bumper was cracked , dented and scraped. John came to my house and in a couple hours for a reasonable price made it new. John does great work. read more

John is amazing. I hit road junk and damaged the paint on my new Lexus. John repainted the door and you cannot tell the difference from the original paint job. His prices are reasonable and he showed up on time and did an outstanding job. Highly recommend. read more

John did an amazing job! You can't even tell where I'd been hit...it's like nothing ever happened:) Not only was the quality of the work amazing but the price was super reasonable. I'd been quoted over twice what he charged by a repair shop. So quality work, great price AND convenient (he comes to you)! Needless to say, I highly recommend!!! read more

John from Color Solutions repaired my bumper on an Audi A4. I had backed into a small post and it left a pretty serious dent/hole in the middle of my rear bumper. John came to me and repaired the damage in half a day. John's a professional craftsman who clearly takes pride in his work, knew exactly what to do, and was pleasant to deal with. By the time he finished I was blown away by flawless the bumper looked. There was virtually no distinction between the damaged area and the rest of the bumper. He even managed to blend the new paint into the original. Highly recommended for anyone with bumper repair needs. read more

After someone ran into my rear bumper in a parking lot, I contacted my local auto repair shop and they suggested I contact John at Color Solutions. John arrived in the morning a few days later and described how he was going to repair and repaint the bumper so that is blends with the existing pearl white color of my 12 year old car. Within 3 hours, John had completed the repair and painting of the bumper. I could not tell by running my fingers over the area of the damaged bumper that it was even damaged. Thank you John and I will definitely recommend you to my friends who need to repair a bumper or need minor body repairs. read more

John, was prompt and did an excellent job at a fair price. He repainted my door molding on my truck and they look as good as new. I would definitely use him again for any paint work on our cars. read more

Some months back, I scrapped the left bumper on my BMW Z4M as I was pulling out of the garage on the retaining wall right outside. And to make matters worse, I drove right into the door jam on the right side! Took my car to Caliber Collusion for an estimate where the quote was $22K. For a small damage like that??? Then for kicks, I went to BMW on AutoParkway where they quoted me an insane $28K!! Wow! No way. So I called my wonderful Dent Dude, Tony, and he came out, assessed the damage, said he could fix the dent on the right side for way, way less than what the two companies quoted, but he would have to refer me to his color guy for the bumper. So I contacted John, sent him pics of the damage. He came by the next day and four hours later, walla! Good as new!! I was so blown away by his magic, I almost cried!! He did such an awesome job, he's got a customer for life!! I won't take my BMW to just anyone, I would take it to John!! read more
