Express Dent & Paint - Auto Detailing Near Me - Ventura, California

HEADLINE: The third time I've called upon Chris to work his detailing and ceramic coat artistry ... this time on my new 2026 Audi SQ8 Prestige ... Amazing, as usual!!! Just purchased an end-of-year 2026 Audi SQ8 Prestige from Audi of Santa Barbara and the first thing I did was set up an appointment with Chris to get her paint conditioned and ceramic coated. He offered System X's Warranted Ceramic Coat (base coat and top coat) for the paint, all exterior glass with System X's Glass, and my 23" wheels' faces, interior spokes, barrels, and red calipers all around with System X's Wheels. A FULL two day job. Given his loaded backlog, I was able to get the car to him after having Audi of SB delete the OEM brake pads (prodigious brake dust) and have them install DFC 5000 Euro Ceramic brake pads all around. When Chris started on the wheels, he noticed that the barrels in particular "were caked with dust". Thus, my desire to get them coated as well! Paint was clay barred, even though she arrived with only 1200 miles on her, as well as a few paint chips on the hood expertly filled. Picked her up today and she is simply astounding on very level. Paint feels like butter, and looks even better, and has a six year System X warranty. Pictures simply don't do justice to the care and attention Chris paid to this project. Cannot recommend Chris, and his talents, and attention to detail, enough. And I continue to do so with my new six figure toy!!! He's 120 miles away from my home, and I don't hesitate at all to make the trek! read more

I called Express Dent & Paint to fix my front bumper that had some very deep scratches. As soon as I called, I knew I had the right company. They gave me a quote that was very reasonable. Chris came out and had my car looking like new in less than two hours. Very professional and courteous. I strongly recommend this company and you don't have to take your car anywhere they come to your home, makes it so convenient. One very pleased customer. read more

Great service ! Impeccable matching painting and preparation ! The best of the best in town you won't regret it ! Pro customer service Thank you Red read more

First I have to say that I contacted every top-rated dent repair business on Yelp to compare quotes, and took my car to a couple of respected local businesses that specialize in paintless repair. Express Dent & Paint was THE ONLY business that had the confidence to try and repair my car. The dent was in a very difficult spot along the edge of the fender, right on a crease. They were totally honest and transparent from the start that they couldn't guarantee a 100% repair (that would require regular body work/respray). But they were confident they could get it at least 70% repaired. Chris arrived and was very polite and professional. He got to work but after a while it was proving to be more challenging than expected due to the thickness of the steel and the location on my fender. It was looking better but not up to the 70% he had hoped, so he said he would only charge me 50% of the quote for his time coming out if that was the best he could do. But he didn't give up, and with more glue pulling he made it look tons better! Now the dent is barely noticeable, and you'd have to really look for it to find it. In my opinion it was $300 well spent, and the remaining imperfection is not worth spending $1200 at a body shop on a 23-year-old car. Chris is a magician and I highly recommend Express Dent & Paint. read more

I thought it would be a major hassle to get some scratches and dents repaired in my own driveway, but car looks as good as new!

Wish I could give 10 stars! Outstanding service! I borrowed a truck for some weekend moving, and noticed a small but deep scratch in the paint down to metal :( I knew I had to get this taken care of before returning the truck, and act like it never happened ! I called Nancy on Saturday afternoon, and she let me know they were booked Sunday and Monday but could help in the week. I was a little pressed for time but obliged. An hour or so later, Nancy texted to let me know they'd fit me in Monday morning! I couldn't believe it! I sent a few photos and got a reasonable quote back! Chris showed up Monday at 930, and had the entire project finished by noon. He was positive, helpful, clean, and so professional! The ding is 10000% gone and the truck looks brand new again. I'm so thankful for their help and would recommend them to absolutely anyone in need of paint or dent repair. Thanks guys! You saved me! (And I learned my lesson) read more

Chris is the best PDR guy in Simi valley..period ! Scheduled appointment and arrived on time. Perfect job and clean finish. Very professional and reasonably priced for the time and materials used. Definitely recommend this business! read more

I just had the most amazing transformation of a sizable dent and scratch in my brand new Bronco Sport - right in the privacy of my own garage. Chris from Express Dent & Paint, comes out in his awesome van which is basically a full paint and body shop on wheels. He is neat, thorough, and takes great pride in his work. I hope I never have to deal with body work on my vehicle again - but if I do, I will call no one but Chris from Express Dent & Paint. read more

well done, on time, professinal, i was hoping it would be cheaper, i will use him again

Dents are a pain, but when they start adding up, it become an eye sore. I do everything in my power to keep my car clean, park far away, but unfortunately, someone decided to put a nasty dent in the driver's door. So I finally made the move and contacted Chris and his wife to get it fixed. Beforehand, I've called around the county and all of them said they don't do PDR work. So I guess Chris is the only PDR (Paintless Dent Repair) in town, plus, he's mobile so it's super convenient! I initially got a quote via text message with providing them pictures (clear ones!) of the dented areas. The price they quoted me to fix the dents was super affordable! There were four dents in total, one on the door, and three on the passenger side fender. Chris was able to fix them all in a short amount time. After the work was done, it looked as if it was never there! Now the areas look like glass! I can't express how grateful I am to Chris and his wife for working with me and getting the dents removed! I felt bad because I had to push the appointment back a couple of months due to my work schedule, but they were able to make it happen. Everything turned out so great that I'm already planning on working with Chris on other exterior projects! He just doesn't work on dents, he also works on almost anything exterior-related. So if you have a dent or any exterior damage fixed, give Chris a shot! It's also a great way to support small businesses!! read more

I had a great experience with Express Dent & Repair from start to finish. Nancy immediately responded to my inquiries regarding the repairs, explained the process (they don't drill holes), sent me a quote, and scheduled my repair 2 weeks out all in the same day. Chris is the owner and has been doing this for 27 years, he is very knowledgeable, skilled and detailed, he explained everything and took before and after photos for me with his special light to capture the dent and the repair. I needed this for insurance. Out of the 5 companies I reached out to Express Dent was my first choice because of their prompt service responses and the fact that they don't drill holes. I highly recommend them and would absolutely use this company again! read more

Chris was amazing!! I had a sent in my car and they completely filled it in painted it and any other chips and got the car back to factory 1000% thank god!! I will use them again and again. They parked on my property and were done in 4 hours read more

I was supremely nervous to work with a new body shop around the area as they were charging me insane prices for my dents and damage. I came upon Express dent and paint on google and they responded to my text THE SAME NIGHT of the accident. Chris and Nancy were super great to work with! They're very clear and precise. Chris is very timely with his work and makes sure every dent is fixed and paint matched perfectly. My family and I were super impressed with his knowledge and were so happy with the results. I assure you wont go wrong with them! read more

After my daughter dinged the right rear quarter panel of my car causing minor but noticeable dents and paint damage, I decided to get that and all the other minor dents and paint damage around my car repaired (which have always bothered me but not enough to get it fixed until now). FYI, the main reason it took me so long to pull the trigger and make these repairs is because I was originally under the impression that you had to repaint the entire car to get it all to match and didn't realize until I was finally inspired to inquire, that auto body shops can spot treat any area of the car and make the paint match the current fade of the rest of the car. Anyway... With the above said, I looked up the highest rated auto body shops in Ventura County and went to get estimates at six of them, including one place in West LA (since I happened to be there for another matter). Long story short, all the owners/managers I spoke with were personable & professional and all claimed to use the best paints and clear coating. They also all guaranteed their work. So, what it came down to for me was how thoroughly they were going to make the repairs (there are different levels to how they can repair/repaint your car) and the price each would charge to make these repairs. Well... Out of the six shops I checked out and got an estimate from, Express Dent & Paint gave me the best price by far coupled with making these repairs at the most thorough level possible. I mentioned the latter part because there was one other company who nearly matched the price of Express Dent & Paint but were going to brush paint (the lowest level paint job) two areas to lower the price and be competitive with ED&P. The other four companies were going to charge me $600 to $1100 more for the same repairs. So... After spending the day evaluating six highly YELP-rated auto body shops, I decided to go with Express Dent & Paint. I communicated with Chris (the owner) and his wife Nancy (through phone chats and texts) and they were both very friendly...and prompt & professional. I scheduled my appointment for today (10/10/2025) and Chris arrived right at 9:00 am sharp as scheduled. We spoke for a bit to verify the damaged areas that I wanted repaired and to solidify how he would make those repairs. Immediately thereafter, he got to work. Before I proceed, it behooves me to mention that Chris' company is a mobile auto body shop on wheels and he comes to your home (or place of work). He does all the repairs in your driveway AND he finishes the job on the same day. Talk about convenience! Continuing on...He set up a tent to isolate and cover my car then got to work. From the time he arrived to the time he finished, it took him four hours and 55 minutes to complete the job. He cleaned up nicely, leaving my driveway clean with no evidence that any kind of auto body work was done on it. After I paid him the very fair price he charged me, we spoke for a while and had a nice conversation. I found him to be a genuinely good guy. So, how did my car come out? Well, the repairs he made came out great! He did an absolutely fantastic job! It's like my 8-year old car is new again! I'm proud of my car...again! Chris is awesome and from this point on, he's definitely my first choice, go-to guy when it comes to auto body repairs that he can handle. He's honest, fair and professional; just a solid guy all-around who knows his craft very well. THANK YOU very much Chris for a job well done. read more

Chris is a master craftsman! He spent a few hours with my end-of-lease Fiat 500e at my house last Sunday and magically turned the clock back to 2017. It looks brand spankin' new! I was worried about the dents, dings, scratches and road rash that have accumulated over the past three years. Since I am NOT renewing another lease with Fiat-Chrysler it was certain they would not be so forgiving about the car's condition upon its return. Chris not only fixed what I asked him to but he also found a nasty dent/scratch on the underside of the passenger side running board that would have cost me dearly if the Fiat dealership had fixed it. The lease inspector just left my office and she signed off on my Fiat with flying colors. There is $0.00 due in fixable damage required for my lease return! What a freakin' relief!!! They would've easily charged me at least three or four times what I paid Chris. Thank you, Chris! read more

I wish I had a great before and after photo to show here because Express did great! Experienced a fender bender that left a couple big dents on my trunk door in my relatively new HRV. After getting multiple quotes from shops, all who wanted to replace the door which would've costed both time at the shop and lots of money, Express was the only one willing to fix it. Chris came out to fix it while I was at work for two days and it came out incredible. And was a third of the price of the other quotes. Very impressed and couldn't recommend them enough! read more

My nephews vehicle was a lost cause with how much he played bumper cars with it. I reached out to Chris' wife, Nancy and she was able to get me an estimate through text with only photos and some information about the vehicle. They were able to get me scheduled quickly and they stuck to the estimate. Quality work! They also made it so smooth and seamless with the transaction and came to me for the work! I cannot express (pun) how important that is for me. My life is extremely busy and at times chaotic. I have no problem paying for convenience, but the ease and convenience of working with them automatically came with the service! I HIGHLY recommend reaching out and getting that low, competitive price for the high quality work they do. Thanks Chris and Nancy! read more

Amazing experience working with express dent and paint to fix my car! I really appreciated how convenient the process was from scheduling to the day of - getting my car fixed right in my garage. Pricing was reasonable and everything from scheduling to the repair itself went great. read more

Great experience from start to finish! I sent a text to the number on the website with a pic of the dent (someone opened their car door into mine and left a nasty dent - no note of course :( ) and within minutes Nancy text me with a quote and availability. We settled on the next morning. Chris showed up on time and had my car door looking brand new within 2 hours. So grateful for quick and expert service. And reasonable price! Would definitely recommend. read more

As part of utility installation in the street in front of our driveway, metal plates were installed at a location that made striking the plates unavoidable when exiting the driveway. As a result, the lower front airfoil, was stricken on multiple occasions, resulting in a couple of small cracks and scratches at multiple location. After obtaining bids from local body shops, who offered bids and multi-day repair estimates, I contracted Express Dent & Paint, who within a day, came to the home, repaired the damage, touched up the paint and make the front end of the car look like new. All of this work was done beautifully, and about half the cost and less than a day after I requested the work be performed. I cannot speak highly enough of the service and work quality. Before and after photos attached. read more

Honestly, this has been such a horrible experience, but also eye opening. I'm not even sure where to start: I contacted Chris on December 16th via Yelp about a broken passenger side mirror for my BMW. He took my car info + VIN to look up the parts he needed to replace my broken mirror. After 2 months of horrible communication: Not calling or texting back when he said he would, going weeks at a time without updates, not showing up to appointments he himself set, the list goes on and on. I assumed that him being a "car mechanic" that he knew to order the correct part - unfortunately he did not. Not only did this part not look the same as my other mirror, but it was also inoperable and the pins/wiring were completely wrong and ended up causing all of the electrical functions on my drivers side door to shit out. He charged me $500 for this janky knockoff mirror btw. When I asked what happened he claimed he had no idea and "did your controls work earlier?" YES! I tried not to be upset, I kindly told him that I did not roll down my windows that morning as it was 43 degrees at 7:45am when I left my home, but they rolled down every other day before he decided to install a broken and non-compatible part. He finally agreed he'd try to figure out what happened. I came back about 45min later and he claimed he checked my fuses and it was a blown fuse, tried again to defer responsibility, and then told me "I could maybe possibly come back tomorrow to change your fuse." Great, after 2 months he finally shows up to do a 30minute job and although it took him almost 2 hours, my car is somehow in worse shape than when I called him. His ignorance and negligence caused several more hundreds of dollars of work to have to be done on my car simply to fix what he broke - which was the master switch in the driver's side door due to his faulty part + shit wiring job. Which btw an actual licensed mechanic in Westlake Village figured out in under an hour. This new mechanic who is knowledgeable and competent ordered the correct parts and had them delivered the next day. He also fixed everything Chris managed to screw up + got me an actual BMW mirror that works and looks the same ... All in under 2 hours and somehow for less money. Remember that ~$500 Chris said that janky off-brand mirror cost? I got a genuine OEM BMW mirror - with the correct pins, glass, operable motor, fabulous paint job - for $420. If you're looking for an actual mechanic or electrical work - especially on an expensive or European car - DO NOT trust this man with your vehicle under any circumstances. I will never be using this company again, not even for something as simple as a dent repair because he's clearly not capable or trustworthy. If you didn't know how to work on a foreign or European car, you simply should say that up front and save everyone the time, money, and grief. If anyone would like more information or copies of receipts, conversations, and dates, feel free to message me directly. read more

I contacted Express dent & paint after putting a deep crease on one of my back doors. Chris and his assistant (can't remember her name,sorry) were very friendly and efficient. Chris even drove all the way from L.A. county to my house in Santa Maria to perform the amazing job he did. I was skeptical that the damage I had done wouldn't be able to be fixed with out having to take it to a body shop but Chris did he's magic and made the crease disappear and even helped me cover up a few chips in the paint for a small cost. He was also very informative about Honda and their recent paint jobs. I would recommend Express dent & paint to anyone that needs a paint less dent repair. read more

I had some chipped paint areas on the back of my car that needed to be repainted. I chose the cheaper of the two options available since I was paying out of pocket.

On top of that my communication with the company was professional and straightforward from start to finish. No surprises whatsoever. read more

Chris came out and removed a dent from my M3. He did an amazing job and it's as if the dent was never there. I was super happy and was also thrilled to know that Express Dent & Paint can also repair curb rash on wheels. The only feedback I would give is to have a bit better communication from the office if the tech will be late. The appointment was originally 9am to 10am. I had to text the number in order to ask where the tech was. Chris eventually showed up at 11am but I nearly cancelled. 5 stars for Chris! read more

Chris deserves all the Yelp stars. I have a horse trailer that was rusted, lots of chipped paint, and needed a ton of prep before the painting even began. After two days with Chris, it looks brand new. Chris is the real deal- he is an expert at his craft, and the icing on the cake is that he's a really nice person. And Nancy, the office manager, is highly responsive, accommodating, and so easy to work with. This company is a needle in the haystack. Incredibly good, honest people who do the right thing, while doing it extremely well. I will recommend them to all friends and family. Thank you, Chris & Nancy! Such a pleasure to work with you both. read more

I had two dents that I happened to notice randomly but had no paint damage. I only noticed one dent but Chris found another one and was able to get one out completely and the other that was pretty much resolved. He did a great job and would highly recommend! Quick response as well through Yelp on arranging everything and coming out quickly! Thank you Chris and the Express Dent & Repair team! read more

Chris did an amazing job fixing a dent in the driver side door of my 5th gen 4runner. I had a small, quarter-sized dent with a crack/seam in the paint. They were helpful enough to give me two different quotes, one for a full repaint of the door that would guarantee fixing the paint crack and one for a basic dent repair with small paint treatments, but no guarantee on the crack. I opted for the cheaper route. I'm pleased to say Chris is a magician!!! I'm not sure how he did it, but he got both the dent and crack out like nothing ever happened. I couldn't be more pleased! Between the convenience of them coming to your house, ease of setting up the appointment, and communication about arrival time, the whole experience was great. My only criticism would be the fact that Chris was not wearing a mask when he arrived and when he worked on my vehicle, although I was wearing one. I personally didn't mind it too much but that may be a concern to other's who are in the high-risk demographic. read more

I found Chris and Nancy and had a wonderful experience with them. if you need such services, give Chris a chance and he can make any dent or scratch look like new. Chris is extremely professional.

I contacted multiple body shops after my parked car was dented and I didn't want to go through my insurance, so price definitely mattered. This car is only a year old, a 2019 Toyota Highlander so I was super bummed that this happened. I got a great offer from Chris, the price way lower than other places plus they had excellent reviews so I decided to give them a try. Turns out it was the best decision ever. Wow what a great job by Chris! I couldn't be happier! As you can see it on the pictures the dent was huge and I honestly wasn't sure if it was even fixable but he worked super hard to get it done. It must be some kind of magic because the paint color is an exact match and you can't see that there ever was a dent or even a scratch. He went above and beyond and even touched up some other scratches on the car for completely free of charge. It looks like new! The communication was great, he kept me updated throughout the entire process with messages and pictures. Thanks again for the excellent work Chris, I'll definitely recommend you guys to everyone I know! read more
