    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!

Don't do that. After I wisely had my car towed home instead, I took a deep breath, talked to my regular mechanic, and he recommend I send it to George at California Collisions. This was a very good choice. George and his staff did the grueling work of haggling with the insurance company, multiple times, over weeks. He also did an excellent job reconstructing my vehicle within the constraints of the insurance coverage. I got my adventure wagon back in good-as-new condition. Customer service and communication were excellent. About 15,000 miles later the rebuild has been tested and proven. Happy to support and rep this business.

Practically unheard of for an autobody shop! California Collision is one of those unicorns. My only regret is not hearing of them sooner. Reflecting back on my involuntary experience of being the receiving end of a rear-end collision on the freeway, California Collision was the clear stand out. Not only did they get my BMW back on the road like it never happened, they handled it like a concierge would. Take that from a regular business traveler that works in the private equity world. George and Team handled everything in my best interests. They are an honest to goodness family business; the real deal- they all share the same last name. The first thing George did during the drop-off process was insist on giving me a walk-thru tour of the *entire* shop and work area. Other shops hesitate and deflect with these requests but George volunteers it first thing without even being asked. After using the restroom on the way out, there was not a corner I didn't see. Communication and customer service is first class- my calls, messages, and emails were always returned in a timely manner. They dealt with insurance and the car rental. I didn't have to do anything besides provide approvals. The job was done exactly how I wanted and even exceeded expectations. My BMW is older now and I expected aftermarket parts but I ended up coming out with all OEM parts at 0 expense to me. Even my optional factory/ OEM+ M-division performance parts were handled. Color match and fit were factory perfect. George is a perfectionist and personally inspects your vehicle after work is done and only releases back to you after it passes his high expectations. I have never ever ever been spoiled by a body shop like this.

    "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.
