I took my car for an estimate to Dent and Scratch in Point Loma. Larry, who has owned the shop for thirty years quickly provided and estimate that was very significantly lower than the two previous one's that I had received. There was significant denting and scrapes on the left due to a minor parking lot incident. His work was absolutely beautiful and he was even able to lower the price as compared to the original estimate as the damage was not quite as severe as it had appeared. I am so thankful to Larry! I am going to refer all my friends and family if they ever are in need of excellent body work at a terrific price! read more

I took my car to Larry, at the Dent and Scratch Pro, off Rosecrans St. 3677 Camino del Rio W San Diego, CA 92110 It was an insurance claim situation, due to a collision. I needed a new bumper and headlight, etc. Larry has a lot of experience working with insurance companies. He referred me to an Enterprise Rental Car place that was close to his shop. He had such a good working relationship with them that they came to the shop and picked me up. When my car was ready, I was able to leave the rental car and keys with him and he took care of coordinating with Enterprise. He dealt with the insurance company directly, to figure out pricing and adjustments and all that. It also ended up that he wasn't able to find a part and was nice enough to pay me the money for it, that he'd received from the insurance company. He also prevented the insurance company from deeming my car totaled, so I could get the most out of it. It was a very surprising act of kindness and generosity on his part. So, I definitely recommend this place. read more

I had minor scratches on my car door (clear coat only) and a couple of small creases of the kind that paintless dent repair guys fix. Larry inspected the damage, took photos, and offered me options. Repainting the side of the car was going to cost over $2000, which was out of the question given how minor the scratches were. I opted for buffing, which Larry indciated would take care of the scratches. The cost would be $900. He subsequently informed me that the paintless dent repair would be an additional $895. This is about four times the going rate, so I declined and decided to get that done cheaper after the scratches were repaired. I picked up my car today and the scratches are as evident as when I brought the car in. I told Larry I was dissatisfied with the work and that I felt I had been way overcharged. After some discussion, he agreed to reduce my bill to $800, $100 off. I paid the bill and left his shop, still convinced I had been ripped off. Larry, not I, is the guy with experience in paint and dent repair. He had a duty to tell me up front that he wouldn't be able to get the scratches out by just buffing. Had he disclosed that to me, I would have gone elsewhere rather than pay hm $800 for ineffective buffing. I will never go back to Dent and Scratch Pro. Their website pledges "100% satisfaction guaranteed." That's a false pledge. Anyone doing business with Dent and Scratch Pro better thoroughly cross examine Larry on exactly what result to expect before handing over your car and credit card to him. read more

Amazing guys! First night of vacation we had a parking mishap at the hotel so the next morning we rushed the car over to Dent and Scratch. The gentleman wasn't super hopeful about getting all the scratches out and said his guys were about to go on break but to come back in about 45 minutes. He pointed out a nearby Starbucks for us to walk to and hang out for the time being. When we returned everything was fixed and almost as good as new. We tried to pay, and they wouldn't take our money! 10/10 would recommend! read more

Dent and Scratch Pro is great! They have great customer service. I got my scratch detailed for a reasonable price and it looks like the scratch wasn't even there! I was able to get an appointment quickly and my car was serviced quickly as well. I highly recommend Dent and Scratch Pro! read more

I damaged the rocker panel on my Toyota Corolla and started looking around for quotes. Unfortunately, the estimates I received from other places were far beyond what I could afford, especially since they recommended replacing the entire panel. I stopped by this shop early in the morning for a quote, and Larry greeted me warmly and was incredibly welcoming from the start. He took the time to listen to my concerns and understand what I was looking for. While preparing the estimate, he brought one of his mechanics out to take a closer look and make sure the work could be done properly. Larry provide me with the most affordable quote I received for replacing the panel, answered all my question, and he offered me an alternative option to salvage and repair my current panel. That option was within my budget, so I decided to go with it. The repair was completed by the end of the day. Larry texted me to let me know it was ready, and I picked up my car the following morning. I cannot recommend this place enough! Larry and his team were honest, professional, efficient, and fair throughout the entire process. I'm happy with how my car turned out, and I'm so glad I found a shop I can trust. If I ever need repairs for dents, scratches, or any other damage to my car, this will definitely be the first place I go. Thank you, Larry and team, for the amazing service. read more

I came in to get my bumper fixed after it came loose. Larry was professional, prompt, and honest. I told Larry that I only wanted the bumper to be fixed and no cosmetic work--and I got exactly what I asked for at a reasonable price. The work was finished in two hours. I am very pleased with my results and was impressed from start to finish. Highly recommend! read more

I brought my car in for an estimate to fix some scuffs and a small dent after scraping the side against a pillar. Larry's estimate was the lowest of the 3 I got. He explained the work that needed to be done and the parts affected. The results were amazing! The side that was repaired looks brand new. The car was even done a day earlier than estimated. We'll definitely use this place again if the need arises (hopefully not :))). 5 stars, highly recommend. read more

Larry is the best! I always go here for bumps and scratches on my car and recommend it to my friends when they are needing these types of services too. The first time I found this place was after getting 3 quotes from other spots, Larry quoted me almost 3 times less than them and fixed my car so it looked brand new. I would definitely recommend coming here. read more

I noticed scratches on my Lexus while washing the car. I immediately requested quotes on Yelp. This place was one of the shops that responded. Larry said he would have to see it to give an accurate quote. I went there the following day to have him check out the car. He said it could be mostly buffed out without a respray! He did mention it won't be 100% since some scratches were too deep. I was surprised by the outcome! I thought for sure it needed to be re-sprayed! I was even quoted up to $2400+ for the respray. It's about 95% perfect but good for the cost compared to a respray. It was great to work with Larry and the team. I would recommend this place! read more

Great place! Would highly recommend! Took our car after it was rear ended, we received wonderful service. Larry was very communicative and cared a lot about our concerns. He was very helpful with dealing with the insurance, and even helped us find a good rental car while we waited for repairs. He fixed 2 deep scratches on our bumper and a huge scuff. Service was also completed very fast, overall we were happy with out experience and the repair looks brand new! It was also a great price! Will definitely be coming back for other repairs and recommend everyone else to visit :) read more

Very happy with my work done at Dent and Scratch Pro - Point Loma. Larry was very nice, gave me several options for different levels of repair, and helped me source paint from my local dealer. Would highly recommend this place to friends and family. read more

Made an appointment to get a door ding removed from my BMW X3 after reading reviews. Came in to get a quote and Larry was extremely polite. Process was quick and quote was reasonable. Scheduled an appointment a couple days later to have the work completed. Dropped off this morning and it was done before noon. I will return to have some other minor dings corrected. Thanks! read more

Mr Larry you are incredible! I brought my 2022 Toyota Corolla in for a dent removal and he was able to get it done in less than 2 hours. The service was excellent since the moment I brought my car in to when I came back to pick it up. With the price very affordable compared to the other place I went to and I don't have to leave my car in the shop for too long. I would highly recommend dent and scratch pro to my friends and family that need their car dent and scratch repair. I would for sure to come back! Thanks you so much Mr Larry! read more

I had the most amazing experience at Dent and Scratch Pro several months ago ,and I'm finally writing my review, Larry was so honest and efficient, I had gotten estimates from several other companies that were triple the price that he charged me. I was in and out in two hours and my car looked brand new thank you, Larry for your outstanding service. read more

Had to have work redone as it was not done correctly the first time. They also damaged my rack and did not disclose to me. After all was said and done, I also found some damage to the interior from them not using protection while performing their work. I cannot recommend. read more

I can't recommend Dent & Scratch Pro highly enough! They are true experts in their craft, offering meticulous attention to detail and genuinely caring about their customers. I've trusted them with my car on multiple occasions. The first time, they flawlessly repaired a large dent from a runaway cart and restored my scratched headlamp--at a very reasonable price. Most recently, after my car got scraped in a parking garage, I took it to them for help. The damage was light, and they took care of it effortlessly--with a level of generosity and customer care that truly sets them apart. You'd never know the scrape even happened! Their expertise, professionalism, and dedication to quality make them a true partner for any car repair needs. If you're looking for a company that delivers outstanding results with honesty and precision, look no further--Dent & Scratch Pro should be your first and only choice! read more

I went to this establishment on July 10 to get a quote and received it the same day from someone named Victor. I immediately emailed him back approving the quote and was happy the price was within my budget. Unfortunately, he never responded. I followed up five days later and still no reply. Today, August 18, I called to find out what happened. I was told Victor was just a temporary, one-day worker, and that I would need to come back again to have my car reevaluated. To make matters worse, the guy I spoke with on the phone sounded indifferent and unconcerned about the inconvenience. What an utter waste of time and a clear example of poor management! I obviously will not be back and I do not recommend you go there either. read more

I decided to bring my car to Dent and Scratch Pro because of all the positive reviews I read. I wasn't disappointed. Larry is such an amazing human and was very honest throughout the quoting process. I had a difficult dent on the seam of my tailgate and they were able to execute a perfect paintless repair. Thank you so much! read more

Best car service I've ever had. Quick/Prompt. 1,000 out of 10. The best Garage in the Business. read more

I made the mistake of parking in the street near Balboa Park over the weekend. I came back to find the drivers side creased on both front and back doors as someone backed in next to me and hit and run. I went to see Larry at Dent and Scratch Pro and he assessed the damages, told me the repair plan and time, and worked the vehicle into the queue. They did a great job repairing the damage and it is barely ascertainable that any work was done. They touched up the deep scratches and buffed out to match the surrounding paint. Larry made a bad situation so much better! Trust them to do the work. read more

Five star service Larry is really the best and is accommodating. He gave me the best price for scratches to my car. I dropped off my car before a weeklong trip. However like many southwest customers we were left stranded. Larry was able to return my car to me so that I could drive to my destination. It will be a while before I can return, but I am grateful that there business owners who are honest and willing to provide the best service. Thanks Larry read more

Overall experience was very smooth. My vehicle took some nasty scratches after hitting something on the freeway. Went to this shop and Larry gave me a very detailed explanation of what they would need to do and gave me an estimate that was very reasonable than what other repair shops gave me. After getting my vehicle, I saw that the paint had matched perfectly, and the bumper looking brand new. Definitely exceeded my expectations and I couldn't be more happier with the results. If you need somewhere to take your vehicle for any repairs, I definitely would recommend taking your vehicle here! read more

This is a great place. I had a scratch and didn't want to do the $1500+ full paint repair. Dent & Scratch Pro did a paintless repair that looks great and was less than half that. Great communication, great service. read more

I got my service done awhile ago but I am still pleased with the outcome. I had some scratches from rubbing against a pole. I dropped in for an estimate and Larry took me the next day. The car was finished when he said it would be however, the paint job was a little darker on the repair. Larry immediately took it back in to fix and the next day, I got it back with a perfect color match. Very pleased overall. The price was so reasonable, I fixed a few more spots. Highly recommend. read more

Larry was awesome! Very responsive and he and his team did great work repairing my back bumper after being rear ended! He communicated directly with insurance adjuster and car rental company to make things easier for me! The service was way above par from what I expected! I did not pay out of pocket but I believe he offers good value for his work read more

My car looks as good as new! Great customer service! Car was ready right on time. I would definitely go here again.

They repaired a large scrape around the left front wheel of my 2016 Corvette. I received great service at a fair price. Larry M. is a great guy and I think extremely honest. The result of the repair was excellent. The car was finished in 3 work days and could have been faster but I told him there was no rush. I will probably never go anywhere else! read more

I had a front bumper scratch on my Prius so I inquired about pricing with Dent and Scratch Pro Point Loma. Larry responded to my inquiry within an hour with a very reasonable price. He said I could come in the same day. When I arrived, the team had the scratch buffed away in under an hour, and even buffed away some other scratches others had left on my door as a courtesy. Larry stayed true to the price he quoted over email. Other similar auto shops in the area had quoted me double the price, and told me I'd have to wait for hours after I make an appointment next week. I'm very happy with the service at Scratch Pro Point Loma and would highly recommend! read more

My car got hit and scratched and I took it to Larry at Dent and Scratch Pro. Larry was very helpful, friendly, professional, and understanding. He helped contact the insurance company when there were some issues and handled everything great.

Larry is very communicative and offers great and quick service. Highly recommend you bring your car into this shop! read more

I took my new car, with only 740 miles, to a garage. When it was returned to me, the roof had multiple minor scratches and, what I thought was, one major scratch. The employees of the garage insisted that the damage was there before they drove the car. I couldn't prove it was their fault, so I decided to bring my car to Dent and Scratch Pro in Point Loma for a repair. Larry assisted me. What I thought was a major scratch, turned out to be just a stubborn oil stain. Larry cleaned the stain off. He also told me what product I could use to eliminate the multiple minor scratches. There was no cost to me. Larry was honest and helpful. I would certainly return to his repair shop if my car needs auto body or paint repair in the future. read more

4.875 stars. Excellent experience all around. We have had two cars repaired here, a 2019 BMW X3 and, most recently a Tesla Model Y that were both scratched up from a parking lot accident. Larry's prices were fair and he had availability within a couple of days for both of our repairs. Note, we did not have any frame damage or any major damage -- I am unsure if he could fix that, but we were able to get our Tesla's bumper repainted and repaired for about $600 -- good as new! All of the other Tesla approved body shops were booked out for months and months! (What do people do while they wait?!?!) So happy they are honest and do great work. Hopefully we won't need him again but if we do we'll definitely be back! read more

I had a great experience working with Larry and Dent and Scrath Pro in Point Loma. Firstly, he gave be the best quote -- he was the 3rd place I'd gone and by far offered the most fair estimate. He was honest, friendly, efficient -- and fixed the scratch on my Tesla bumper perfectly without saying that EVERYTHING had to be replaced like the other places were telling me. That, and they were able to complete in a day! Everyone else was telling me how I'd have to leave it there for 3 or 4 days. WTF. Can't recommend highly enough. read more

Had a walk in appointment with Larry. I had a hit and run that caused a dent in my bumper and over the years I had scratches / scuffs all around my car. Larry was very helpful and gave me a very reasonable quote. Fast service with amazing results. I would highly recommend. Posting photos of before and after so you can see the excellent work. Thanks Larry and team! read more

Larry was an awesome person to work with. He explains things thoroughly, stays in contact about updates, and his team does great work. I came in for a rear end and Larry and his team fixed everything that needed to be done and they did it in a timely and professional manner. My car looks brand new after picking it up. I cannot reccomend this shop enough for your car needs. I will definitely be back if I ever need to! Thank you so much Larry! read more

Larry and his workers are literal angels. I had a small fender bender on my bumper and I contacted Larry around 11 AM today. And he was able to quote me within 20 mins and on top of that his quote was about 75% less than other body shops. One company even tried to cut me $1200. But back to Larry.... I got to the shop at 3:12 this afternoon. And I was out by 4 o'clock. What he quoted me over the phone was the same quote that he quoted me in person. My car did not even need paint. They buffed it out and it doesn't even look like anything happened. His customer service skills are absolutely the best!! I highly suggest going here if you have any small nicks or dents in your car you will not be disappointed. Attached are before and afters. read more
