    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.

    After

    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!

From the beginning, Yvette was incredibly helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable about all the services they offer. Auto Pro helped me with a complete package, including a full XPEL PPF installation, tint, and service work. When I was searching for a shop, experience was my top priority, and Auto Pro definitely exceeded my expectations. Not only are they highly experienced, but their customer service and communication are second to none. If you're looking to get PPF done on your exotic car, I highly recommend Auto Pro and suggest asking for Yvette. She was amazing throughout the entire process. She constantly kept me updated with photos of the progress and even shared some professional photos she took of the car when everything was finished. That level of attention and care really stood out to me. Thank you again, Auto Pro and Yvette. I couldn't be happier with the results!

He was able to schedule me the same day in the afternoon. When I arrived to my appointment at the Livermore location, Jordan welcomed me with open arms and walked me through everything. He explained everything to me and was able to provide with my options for tinting. Once I agreed, they started the process right away. They first take a video of the entire car, then they start their work right away. After a few hours, my vehicle was complete! Their staff takes extra time after finishing to re-inspect the vehicle and to make sure everything is great. I was so impressed, that I decided to have my second vehicle tinted here too! And with even better experience than the first time. Jordan was able to schedule me immediately the following day, and my Lexus IS350's tint was done in no time. Also, I loved how they teach you on the dos and don'ts after the tinting process. Again, I highly recommend Tintix! I am very satisfied with their work on two of my cars. They provide lifetime warranty for my XPEL ceramic tint, and asked me to come back if there are any issues. I will be coming back for further service for my vehicles in the future.

On the blue section, and there was some over-spray and it has a yellowish green tint. It took him a few quick minutes to mix some dye and he didn't really spot check for match. I asked if he could match it better but he said it could make it worse. There was also over-spray. Frankie just blocks off the untouched spot by holding a piece of cardboard. It wasn't precision and care. Also, deep scratches could be sanded, smoothed and polished to match, but he doesn't go to this level of service. He just applies putty over it and lets you know it will leave a lump. However, the match on black was very good, almost perfect. But it felt rough due to the over-spray. Overall, I had expected a more precise hand polishing process and care for matching, but it was just quick spray paint. Deep scratches really didn't get resolved. The car is now a collectors item. I was hoping for a level of quality that matches the prestige. EDIT In response to the owner; I do not use Yelp much and do not write many reviews. But they are bad experiences that are memorable enough to share and I provided evidence (invoices and pictures) to support it. The owner's lack of accountability in his response should be a concern. I've had someone asking about his work the past few weeks (2025: 9 years later) and it prompted me to help this person and update the review and even tone it down a tad for the owner's benefit. 1 and 2. The pictures uploaded appear the same quality as the original but resized. Don't believe otherwise as the owner leads you to believe. Many of you have uploaded pictures and know this is is a lie. I believe Yelp will also dispute the owner on the quality of their site. 3. As for repairing scratches, I had no issues and mearly shared the level of service ($350 - in 2016 dollars) for the community, but the owner has a problem with me sharing it. 4. The car was just as pristine in 2016 as today 2025, 1,500 miles later. I have the invoices on the work, dated before Frankie's job. In fact, I should probably write a review on it since the owner seems to have a problem with me not writing good reviews, especially if it is redundant to many other good reviews. 5. The owner is lying about the date of the job and timing of my review. The job was done on 2/6/2016. My review was dated 5/7/2016. I moved away from the area June 2016 and was very busy with preparing for the move and finishing up my life there. 6. The owner claimed he could make it right, but as he mentioned during the job, he did not want to fix the mismatch. I had no reason to contact him further. I moved to a different area a few months later and had more important concerns than the owner's job and was fine with just writing a review. The owner needs to own it.
