A while back I accidentally scraped the rear side of my almost-new Chevrolet Equinox EV while backing into a driveway. There was a rough stone retaining wall along the side that caused several deep gouges and scratches. Of course, I couldn't believe I had been so careless. I brought my car to my Chevrolet dealership to get a repair estimate and I was shocked--over $4000! They said they would have to replace the rear bumper (which only had the bad scratches, no dents or other damage). I then went to several auto body and paint shops and was able get some lower prices but still $2000 and up. I looked on line for a touch-up paint kit and was able to determine the exact color code for my car and find some inexpensive small touch-up paint bottles. I knew this was not a viable long-term solution but perhaps I could at least paint the very visible white scratches and gouges while I found a more reasonable professional paint solution. The touch-up paint did somewhat cover the most visible damage, so from a distance you could not as easily notice the damage. But I did notice the touched-up areas looked like a different shade than the correct blue of my car, it looked a bit purple. I happen to have an expensive professional color scanner (Nix) and it provides highly accurate RGB (red-green-blue) values. The car natural paint measured values for blue and green and zero red content. When I measured the cap of the touch-up paint, it also showed the correct blue shade very accurately. But putting a small test swatch of the touch-up paint on a white surface clearly showed the purple-leaning shade. And measuring the small touched up areas on the car also showed this purple tinted color. At this point I just presumed that the color was off because I didn't properly prepare the surface or didn't buff the finished result. I looked on line again for a painter and found Dent Expert Mobile. I contacted them through their website and they said to upload several pictures of the damaged area. They quickly got back to me with a lower price than any of the paint shops I had contacted. They said they could do the complete repair in my driveway or garage in less than a day and they had an opening in a few days. All the other quotes were several weeks out and from several days to 2 weeks to do the job. So, I booked an appointment with scratch and dent repair. I couple of days later Johnny arrived, looked at the damage and started the work. He carefully masked the damaged area, sanded down the damaged area, applied a primer, filled some of the deep scratches, applied the new blue paint and finally the clear coat. Johnny has a complete color lab in his van and is a genius at exact color matching. I had told him that I had tried touch-up paint first but at that point, I didn't realize the contents of the touch-up paint can was wrong. As soon as Johnny removed all the masking we could see the color was wrong and the first thing he said was I'll have to repaint it at no charge. It was also that purple tint. I felt really bad that I had unknowingly and unintentionally mislead him with that bad touch-up paint. So, a day later he came back, remixed the paint, this time to the precise and correct blue shade. End result was perfect. You cannot see any evidence of the scratches or damage. I am astonished at how good he is at mixing paint in his color lab in the back of his van. I know how hard this is to do and get accurate results. So, I highly recommend Johnny. Nice and honest guy, genius color match, professional surface prep and painting. Very reasonable and quick. What more could you want. Wayne J read more

Excellent service and very professional mechanics. They fixed my car quickly, and everything works perfectly now. I'm very satisfied with the experience. read more

THIS GUYS PAINT DIDN'T LAST 90 DAYS BEFORE TURNING YELLOW! He was a good salesman when it came to promising a great job. Once I noticed the paint yelowing I reached out and sent him pictures. He saw them and agreed to come fix it. I waited 2 weeks for him to come fix his work. He showed up and tried to tell me that the paint wasn't yellow at all! He refused to take responsibility and instead decided to make a scene, act a fool, shout at me and run to his truck to drive away. I gave him every chance to do the right thing and even offered to pay for some of the cost of the repair, to help him out. DO NOT TRUST THIS HACK! read more

Fast and honest service. They fixed my car quickly and explained everything clearly. Slight delay, but no big deal.

Johnny is an honest guy and did quick work on the fender bender I had. Was impressed he had everything in his van. Would use him again!

Best mobile service. Jonny is the best in town and he is much cheaper than anyone in the town. My friends took my car and had an accident with the bumper. He made it look like a new one. read more

Johnny is amazing! I reached out to him a few weeks ago requesting a quote to fix a dent and scratched paint on my Porsche Macan. He was very polite, gave me more than reasonable quote, and got back to me with his earliest next availability. He was very communicative and followed-up to remind me of my appointment. When he arrived, exactly on time, I asked if he could repair another scratch on my front bumper and he gave me a great rate for the extra repair. He got to work immediately. When he finished, I couldn't even tell where the damage had occurred. He was professional, friendly, kept the work space immaculate, and was very polite. As much as I hate getting dings and scratches on my car, I am SO glad I found Johnny to repair them when they do happen. I am a bit of a perfectionist and I was incredibly impressed with his work. He's the best! read more

Incredibly fast response & quote, super nice guy, quick scheduling for repairs, excellent work quality, fantastic price, and he comes to you! I honestly do not why anyone would go through the hassle, expense, inconvenience, and long wait time for minor body repair and paint with a conventional auto body repair shop. read more

Great mobile service. Much better than dropping off and picking up at a body shop. I highly reccomend for those minor repairs you may have.

Simply great service and a true lifesaver. I had a pretty major fender scrape which John restored to perfection. Price reasonable, communication excellent, overall a very nice guy to deal with and saves you the hassle of leaving the car at a body shop. He even cleaned my headlights for me at no charge. Huge value for the money and excellent quality work. I would use this company again anytime and will definitely recommend to anyone I know who needs body repair. read more

Johnny made my car look perfect again. He's fast, responsive, easy to work with, and offered a great price to fix the dent and repaint my car door. Hopefully I won't need his services again, but if I do, he's the person I'll call. read more

I normally do not leave reviews, but in this case I had to share my experience with John. John is simply the best guy for anything paint or dent related. He has been doing this for a long time and his work speaks for itself. He did a professional job for half of what a body shop would charge. . I cannot tell where he did the repair, it's like it never happened and it's like brand new and better than what I expected. He is a very nice guy too. Highly recommended! read more

Johnny is an absolute artist with his work. Repaired a dented rear bumper and scratched rear passenger door back to brand new condition. Arrived when he said he would, and completed the job earlier than he thought. If I could give 10 stars, I would. read more

Job was well executed in a timely manner and cost friendly. A great professional with attention to details.

I used Dent Expert Mobile and I could not be more satisfied. The owner, John Garcia, came to my residence and repaired the damage to my wife's Lexus Rx350's rear bumper in 3 hours. This was done while the vehicle was parked inside my garage. The end result was flawless, he obviously is a master auto body and paint craftsmen. The best part is the repair saved me at least $1,600.00 less than two independent body shops estimated and the car was not tied up for 3 to 5 days. John is a very pleasant man and did what he said he was going to do, exactly when he said he was going to do it. When he was leaving he told me "I stand by my work and if you have any issues, call me. I seriously doubt that I will. I highly recommend his service, without reservation. read more

Very rude and doesn't like to be questioned as he seems to get offended if one does ask questions. As a customer, I think I am entitled to ask questions when paying for a job. Cocky and wouldn't trust him with any job on my card as he lacks professionalism and seems can't be bothered. If you want a cheap deal and a poor job done in your driveway he is the man but if you care about your car and want a professional job, seek somewhere else. read more

John appeared on time and turned a car with big dents into a brand-new car. Amazing job.

Johnny was on time, on budget and did a beautiful job on my 2024 Lexus. He was professional, meticulous and thorough. Would highly recommend. read more

If I could give him 10 stars I would! My front bumper was unattached on the left side, huge dent in the door and small dings and scratches along the length of the car. I found John through Yelp, sent him photos of my damages and he got back to me with a quote that I was happy with. He came to my location and within just a couple hours had the damaged areas restored, smoothed and primed. He returned two days later to paint (when there was no chance of rain) and finished up. The paint matches perfectly and I am so happy! He's a very nice guy and does an amazing job. I couldn't recommend him higher. Thanks John! read more

I had some damage to the rear bumper that required repair on a Honda Civic, and was lucky enough to find Johnny at DentExpert. The damage was (fortunately) limited to the plastic bumper only and not the body, but significant paint was scraped off and the plastic was scored in places. John came up to my house and made it look as if it had never happened. The results were beyond my expectation, and for a very reasonable price. Plus, the convenience of on site work is a real bonus. Professional, friendly, affordable, and real quality work. I would highly recommend him. read more

After having gotten scammed by a roving gypsy, I contacted John at DentExpert to see what could be done with the dents in my door and chips in my back bumper. He was recommended by a neighbor on the Next-door site. He was on time, very professional and extremely reasonable. My car looks like new. It took him longer than he expected but the price remained the same. I am delighted with his workmanship and would recommend DentExpert highly. His dog is a sweetheart too. read more

Found a dent in my front left fender after the gym and went around looking for quotes. Some guys quoted me a whooping $1800 to completely fix the fender.

Johnny Garcia is amazing! I'd been quoted $1900 for a scrape that involved the door, the rear side panel and the under trim. Johnny did it for $400! OMG thank you soooo much!

Absolutely fantastic work. John gave a fast, accurate estimate over the phone and did the work for less than half of what the two body shop estimated. He scheduled the work right away, showed up on time, and in half a day had the car looking as good as new. He obviously takes great pride in his work and for good reason. Highly recommended. read more

This review is not for repairs done but the timely and friendly response that I received from John. I spoke with him and sent him photos of body repairs that I was in need of. He recommended someone that specialized in this type of repair within minutes after I sent him photo's. If his actual service is as good as his courteous demeanor I would use him in a second.... Thanks again to John for the fantastic recommendation... Worked out perfectly. read more

Called John and got referred to Adam to repair about a half dozen door dings I'd been ignoring for some time. Made and apt with Adam for first thing the next morning. He showed up on time and literally had all six dings fixed before I had even returned from Starbucks to get coffee. Great service. Highly recommend Adams work. read more

Easy communication and good work. Honored the quote given to me. Would recommend and use again.

Johnny came to my house to fix a minor fender bender on my Datsun 240z. Turned out to be not so minor a repair! The bumper was totally torqued, and it took him a few tries to get it so it wouldn't scratch the paint he had just applied. He was diligent in getting it right. I truly appreciated his efforts, time and thoroughness. He left me with a bit of paint so I could touch up some other dings, and smoothed out the visible drips left from my recent paint job. All in all, good job Johnny! read more

After getting expensive bids from auto body shops around town, I called John. He fixed my car just as good as any of those shops for about 2/3 less. I'd use him again. My only complaint would be that he was 20 minutes late with no phone call. I realize this is a stickler on my point, but I'm a freak about timing. :) read more

I am extremely pleased with the work John did on my 91 Acura. He cares about his work and it shows, is personable and his prices are great!! I will use him in the future for all my external auto work and am passing the word on to my friends in the community. I feel so lucky to have been referred to him by a local auto detailer. Yay! I'm a happy girl. read more

John did an absolutely PERFECT job! I am beyond pleased with his work! I would highly recommend him! read more

Before John got ahold of my car it looked terrible with several major dents. I was completely shocked by how good he was able to make my car look. I was even more shocked by how reasonable his price was compared to local body shops. One of those guys told me my whole door needed to be replaced! It wasn't true at all, it was a big ugly dent but didn't destroy the door. John fixed the dent in my door with no problem and I was so happy with how it looked afterwards. I was so stoked with my car after John got through with it. Awesome experience. read more
