    This man is a master at dent removal.. I couldn't believe how efficiently he works and the results!

    I can't say enough about Manuel's mastery in removing dents and scrapes on metal panels of vehicles. He came to assess my aluminum, plastic, and rubber based car that we purchased with a huge loan 7 years ago. It was so depressing to see so many mean people leave dings and scrapes on my car. After 7 years, I finally had some down town and decided to give Mel a try with all those great reviews. I wondered, "were they bought or are they real customers?" He took about 10-15 mins to go over the cars with so many dings/scrapes and explained to me what is feasible (only on metal mostly) and what can be done by others (plastic and rubber), and then he told me the exact price of each area so I can decide depending on my budget. He was very thorough at explaining what he would do and gave me a very fair price. I must admit I didn't have my hopes up high.. how can he repair so many little dings and scrapes to look like new? But he not only did that, but he did it so quickly, it was unbelieveable. In about 30 mins, he took out all the dings on one door and removed the scrapes. No paint was needed. Another door larger ding was fixed in another 15 mins. He somehow goes through the window opening. Then he worked on my trunk hatchback door that had severe dents on the edge and removed those also. He did this for $300 and then to help me out, he also buffed out a scrape in the front trunk and in the back Falcon wing panel where I had black scuff marks for over 18 months that I couldn't remove with soap and water. He even removed an ugly yr + old partially left sticker from the sad loss of the Biden/Harris campaign! I could not be happier and when I can afford it, I plan to fix that dent in the falcon door next year. He is also such a gentleman and interesting to converse with... I will recommend him to everyone I know who has dings in their car.. and who doesn't? I saw his website after he did my car and I realized he also does huge dents also. I am very grateful I found someone who I can rely on for these little first world problems that irritate. I asked him how long he had been doing this after he masterfully cleaned up the first panel of dings in 30 mins. 25 years he told me! No wonder he has become a master at what he does. I am glad he is a lot younger than me so that most likely he will not be retired before I'm too old to drive.

    I was referred by a friend and I'm glad I went with Mel. He was set the expectations up front and delivered as promised. His prices were fair and reasonable and he is a nice guy. He is definitely on my speed dial for any future work and I already referred him to friends and family.

    3 inch dent that others said was not possible to do dentless repair. Mel is awesome & fixed it!

    Mel is amazing & I would give 10 stars if I could. We had a dent in the Tesla front left fender & other dentless guys had said it was not possible do, and body shops wanted $3k for the repairs. In comes Mel & says "I can do this" - and I agree 100% that he was successful. Planning to call him for my other car asap.

    A friend of mine at work recommended Mel's dent repair and I was beyond impressed. Cannot even tell where the dents were and I had some pretty good dents in my Ford F150. Very good value and excellent service. What I am also impressed with is he knows what he can tackle and what he can't and he's honest about it.

    My most recent dent- complex, but Mel got it done. (AFTER)

    To sum it up: Mel is awesome! I've used Mel to get a couple of unfortunate dings and dents removed this past year on two of my cars, and I have nothing but good things to say about him and the service he provides. Not only is he extremely flexible, but he's quick to respond and his prices are competitive (I've found they tend to be lower) to other PDR (Paintless Dent Removal) guys in the area. I'm very satisfied with the work that Mel has done on my cars, and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a professional PDR guy.

    Way to go Mel, what a terrific job on my tailgate. I was out in the Concord area, and thought maybe I could find a paintless dent repair expert. Called Mel direct, he requested I send a pic right away so he could advise me. Sent the pic, Mel called back within 4 minutes, we agreed to meet. What a likable down to earth person, that's been in this field for twenty years. He was very gentle with the removal of the heavy metal tailgate, with no issue disconnecting my camera wiring. I was very impressed with his attention to detail, unnoticeable with ike new results. In total from when I first called to finish was just one and half hour. Very reasonable rates, with a focused no nonsense professional. Thank you my fellow yelper's for your guidance, had to leave a five star yelp deserved 20 star's. I strongly recommend this service. Thank you very much, Mel !! Nate

    I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Mel and his dent removal service. Someone hit my car a few weeks ago. I got a quote for the dent to be removed without insurance being involved. The cost for an estimate at the auto body shop was almost $1200.They also would have needed my car for 3 full days. Needless to say, this was not a viable option for me. Since the person who hit my car was going to pay for the damages, I figured I would try and look around for another estimate from someone who could come to me. I saw Mel's mobile repair local to me. I called him and he was attentive and quick with responding back to me as to whether he could come do an estimate. He stopped by for an estimate the same day. He told me that the cost would only be $500 to remove two small dents. I was shocked that the estimate was a fraction of the auto body estimate. He also told me it would take him two hours or so to remove the dents. He arrived to me in the morning at 8:30 am and was done with removing both dents by 10:00 am. I see no dents, he did such a great job and was very professional at that. I would highly highly recommend Mel and his dent removal services. He provided a fast response time, did a professional job and offers very reasonable prices. Forget those auto body shops who try to rip us off by charging such an outrageous price. Mel has been doing this like a straight BOSS for 17 years and knows his stuff.

    Both person's said that it would not be possible to fix using PDR and I would have to get a body shop to fix it.

    So first a bit of history. This location was formerly Barreto's Auto Body, which handled a…read moresignificant dent on my 2002 Toyota Tacoma in Forest Green. In Lodi a drunk woman decided to hit my truck in the parking lot and proceed to drive home like nothing happened. Long story short, a cop was in the right place at the right time and followed her to an apartment where she was arrested for DUI and the judge made her pay restitution. Yes, the justice system does work from time to time... Anyway, Barreto's did a great job and since then I found that Dings and Dents Gone has taken over the shop. Although they are new to the location you can tell they know how to run a business and take care of their customers. My 2021 Cement Grey Tacoma was side swiped by some punks on bicycles and I was worried about rust developing since the scratch broke beyond the clear coat. This required painting two door panels along with color matching and blending the new coat with the original. Not an easy task, but one that a professional shop is expected to perform at a very high level. After a short wait period, my truck was completed at a very fair price and with a professional touch. The team here is great from top to bottom and I hope they have continued success. It's great to see a business deal with transparency and have pride in how they treat customers. They provide great service with quality and craftsmanship. I highly recommend Dings and Dents Gone for anybody looking for a fair priced repair on a car in need of some body work.

I picked the car up 11am, when I got home & realized the light they replaced was no longer on the car I called at 2pm to get assistance with their mistake. The shop is refusing to fix a light that was improperly installed, not to mention it's only a $20 part. Take your car to a shop that actually cares and has integrity! Edit : The courtesy would have been appreciated if the part was actually installed correctly and you did not repeatedly replace the part. Just because you did not write on the paper "reflector light" does not mean it is not your responsibility.

I wish I had known about Eduardo earlier, I would have been happy with this kind of repair instead of being pushed to formerly either replace the tailgate or get a $$$ repair. He had the aura of someone with a lot of paint and bodywork experience. He was upfront on the original cost estimate and it came in right at the estimate. There were a range of quotes from others, from the highest end, Eduardo was 1/10th the cost. From the average, about 1/2 the cost. He let me know it'd be about 90% there in repair, and I was really impressed with the results. About 2.5 hrs of work. Highly recommended and would definitely call him again. Thanks! Note: I realized that jobs are probably a little less predictable time wise so getting from one site to another can be variable. Eduardo mentioned mid afternoon but ran a bit late due to a complex job. He did commit to the work date even though he arrived by 5p., and I was glad that I didn't need to reschedule.

He was on-time, professional, kind and did an absolutely amazing job taking out the dent. Unfortunately the dent I had was in the body line which makes it more difficult to get out, but he got it out to nearly perfect and i cant even notice/see where the dent was. He was efficient and took his time to get it perfect. I was so interested in the process, that I sat outside with him and we talked the entire time. Not once did I feel like he was bothered by conversation, it was overall a great experience. I would definitely recommend him to anyone and everyone. I hope I never get another dent, but if I unfortunately get another, i will be using him.
