    Dent on hood
    Alan S.

    I heard of Ted from other Tesla owners who suggested him. Tesla use of aluminum panels, which is a whole different ball game from other cars, although not unique and I have another PDR guy suggest me to take it to the Tesla Service Center via the App because they can't fix it. I messaged Ted (please follow the instructions on the website) and he responded the same day and I made an appointment the same day and I met with Chad and I showed him a dent on my hood. He said doable and I showed his other dents than I accumulated from the very kind and honest people in the Bay Area (no thanks by the way) and Chad also fixed it on the same appointment. Ted is the best PDR team in the Bay Area for sure. Chad is a wizard. I have dents that I can see but I literally have to point out to other people. But Chad can see them on the spot. This is a trait of a good PDR guy. I would recommend Ted and team again. Ted and team work out of RJ's paint shop. They also have a very nice waiting room with a big TV and some nice chairs. The guys at RJ's also seemed pretty nice. Another shop I will add to my list.

    Had to get a dent fixed on my car. Ted did an amazing job, was super friendly, my car looks great, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the results & price. Super great scheduling as well, easy to book & quick to get me in.

    Amazing work on a difficult Tesla dent - Honest and Skilled! I brought in my Tesla for a dent right on the rear quarter panel body line, which I know is a very difficult spot to fix. The team here did an incredible job--the metal is completely flat and the body line looks perfect again. What I appreciated most was their honesty. They were upfront about what they could and couldn't do regarding the paint chip, and they made sure I was 100% happy with the metal work before I left. It is rare to find a shop this skilled that also treats customers so fairly. Highly recommended.

    Excellent work. I recently acquired a 1990 Nissan 300ZX and unfortunately got a deep dent in the drivers side fender, while parked at a store. Ted gave a reasonable quote and was very professional, prompt and the results are amazing! Could not be happier with the result. I bought this car from my uncle, to keep a classic car in the family - so this repair feels like taking good care of a family member.

    Ted is a miracle worker! He just fixed what is supposed to be a body shop job and somehow did an "undo" on a big dent on my new SUV. He proved he has the masterful skills, expertise, and craftmanship that he is advertising. Here is what happened: What do you do when a teenager you know, a very good and stand up kid, accidentally backs up to your 3 month old SUV? And it happened because he was helping a friend innocently. It was a pitch black night and not a lot of lighting in the parking lot. It was an honest accident. He started apologizing profusely. I was dying inside. I am sure he was too. If I were in his shoes, when I was that age, I would be dead to my parents! I flashed a light around the damaged area. I thought it was just a bad dent and the paint was not damaged. I got a paintless dent repair done 4 years ago, so I knew a guy. I gulped and told the boy, don't worry about it right now. Immediately I was frantically looking for the guy who PDRed my old vehicles. After I contacted the paintless dent repair (PDR) guy I knew and sent him pictures, my heart sunk when he told me he cannot do the repair. He said the door panels are impossible. I asked my paint protection film (PPF) guy if he can recommend other dent repair shops or body shops. He told me the dent needed to be done by a body shop since it is too big. Somehow as I was searching for his recommended body shop I saw Ted's Dent Work. I started reading reviews and I thought, why not check it out. So before I left the house to get body shop estimates I went to Ted's website and inquired. I went to two body shops to get estimates. They were expensive repairs. They pointed out the door has to be replaced, the fender needs to be fixed and the paint has to be matched. The sensors possibly needs recalibration. At this point, I am trying to figure out how am I going to tell the boy's parents about the accident and the repair expense. I was praying while driving to work. And then Ted called. I checked the voicemail he left. He was confident he can get it done at 1/4 to 1/3 the body shop prices. He said it doesn't look like the paint is damaged and he said that was his specialty. I made a big sigh of relief. My prayer was answered. I immediately called him to get an appointment. Ted mentioned he is probably the only one who could fix this via paintless dent repair. Look, I spoke to a PDR guy, a PPF guy, 2 body shop estimators and all of them pointed to a major work. Ted was confident in his skills and experience and flat out boldy said he can do it. The proof is in the pictures and videos. Simply amazing!

    Excellent staff excellent work affordable and I was in and out in 40 minutes they repaired a ding on my mustang would highly recommend them

    Fantastic experience with Ted recently. Amazing job fixing a very difficult dent on the hatchback of a RAV4. Highly recommend him.

    It's there!

    See all

    Ted and Chad did a fantastic job on Tesla Y. Dent was at a tricky spot but now it's good as new. They are the best in this area!

    had an amazing experience with California Collision from start to finish. The entire team was…read moreincredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely cared about making the process as stress free as possible. They treated me like family, answered all of my questions, and kept me updated throughout the repair. The quality of the work was outstanding. My car looks brand new, and you would never be able to tell it had been damaged. Their attention to detail and craftsmanship are truly impressive. If you're looking for honest people who take pride in their work and provide excellent customer service, I highly recommend California Collision.

    I used Yelp for a few businesses on repair estimates for my dented front bumper cover on my Rav4…read more Did you know that the car's frame is mostly steel or aluminum to protect drivers and passengers, sensors, electronics, etc. but in most cases the outside cover is bendable plastic for aerodynamic reasons? The bad news is that plastic deforms too much from a collision, you can't just massage it back to shape with a hair dryer. Also, who knows if anything else on the car behind the plastic is damaged or out of alignment. California Collision came to the rescue and was able to replace my bumper cover, have it painted, and then recalibration done for the various car sensors to eliminate fault codes. Even minor collisions can cause sensors to be faulty, so don't assume it's a cosmetic thing and try to cut corners and get your vehicle repaired properly. The job took a few hours one day to paint match, then a separate full day to install, recalibrate, and test drive the vehicle to ensure bo more fault codes. George was extremely friendly and transparent with the repair process. He even gave me a tour of his shop and explained the workflow. Its a family business as his son and daughter also work here. He obviously values work-life balance and is closed Friday-Sunday. Body Shops are not cheap but if you need a thorough repair and want things done right, I highly recommend California Collision. If paying out of pocket, use a debit card with a high spend limit to avoid credit card fees.

    "Owner Paints Horse Trailer, Sleeps in Trailer to Confirm Quality"…read more The owner of this business insists upon top-quality. It doesn't matter if it's a car, boat, plane, or horse trailer. However, Mark does not like to paint locomotives. Anyway, this horse trailer was destined to become a mobile bar. Yes I know that sounds odd, but that's the gospel truth. Naturally if you want to convert your horse trailer to a bar, it must be impeccable. So when Mark painted this trailer, he had to be positive there were no drips. I mean, just imagine if you were guzzling a beer and paint drops started plopping from the ceiling. That would be no fun! Plus it would add an unknown flavor to your beer. So of course, Mark had no choice but to sleep in the horse trailer. That way he could be positive there were no paint drips or drops. (Sleeping in a horse trailer is like going to a YMCA Camp, but without the archery.) I hear Mark's wife was not pleased with this turn of events, but the customer always comes first. That's just the type of man he is. I have known the owner of this business for years. He is a person of great integrity and trustworthiness. Whenever I have horse trailers to paint I always bring them to Mark.
