I had a horrible door ding on my 2006 Mercedes CLS 500. I called Sal and I brought the car over to him to give me an estimate. The next day he came by and got the job done. I was totally impressed with his work and he was exactly right: it looked like brand new again...you cannot even tell I had any damage at all. The cost was very reasonable. I found it very convenient for me to have him show up to my office and he got it done on time and when he said he would have it done. I chose Sal because he came highly recommend from several people who had used him in the past, his experience in the field, and his previous great work (just look at his web site for all the great work he has done in the past). read more

My car sustained a couple of dents in the driver's side fender and door and Sal was able to fix it all up and made the car look show-room new! He is so careful and meticulous in his work and the end results are just amazing. Great job, Sal! Highly recommended! read more

I have a 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee with one big dent in rear passenger 1/4 panel and a long groove/dent in the rear passenger door. I met Sal at one of his jobs and he checked it out and gave me the qoute. His qouting process is very thorough. He basically thinks each project out loud - and went over each a number of times. He worked on mine for about 6 hours and was very happy with the results. This dude is passionate about dent repair. And he's a really good guy. read more

Sal did an awesome job removing dents on my car. He will study your car from different angles, and study your paint to see how he can fix your car. At the end he took the time and care to make my BMW look great again. He really takes pride in his work and you can tell by the way he makes the repair as perfect as possible. I am very pleased and would highly recommend him to anyone. And the price compared to others is very reasonable. My BMW looks flawless, and no bondo! You will not be disappointed. Thank you, Sal! read more

I'm not sure Sal needs another 5 star review, but Sal is awesome. He's friendly, professional and his work is immaculate. I had this ding in my new car, and he managed to do it quickly and the results were impressive. You can't tell it was ever dented. Sal talked me through what he does and what to look for - its all about refraction on multiple axises. Your car is in great hands with Sal. Mine's not a Ferrari, but he's glad to work on anyone's car. read more

I recently had Sal help me on a relatively small job, removal of clear bra film from the hood of my car. Due to the age of the car, it took longer than anticipated but Sal took his time and did the job right. Sal is meticulous! Definitely recommend. read more

Sal has helped us for over 15 years?, he worked on all our cars ranging from our old 1991 Escort GT, 2002 M3, 2009 GTR just to name a few. He's born to do what he does, he's not the cheapest but I can assure you that he is the best you can find! I recommanded him to all my friends and they too were also very happy with the result. read more

Sal is a truly professional individual. From the initial point of contact to the work he performed on our SUV I highly recommend him. It's unfortunate there are low life's out there who don't care about others new vehicles but knowing Sal can fix dents in a superb manner is all that matters. Keep up the GREAT work Sal. read more

Sal repaired a difficultly located and deep dent in my aluminum Land Rover Discovery. It was so bad I was merely hoping it wouldn't be so noticeable after he was done. I shouldn't have doubted Sal, the true dent expert. He worked on it for 3 hours. There is absolutely no trace that this dent was ever there! Worth every penny. Highly recommend Sal. read more

Sal did few of my cars already he is still doing it. Had a difficult dent on top of the curved hump on my cayman he took an hour to get it out. Is hard on that curved surface. It looks like new again. I hope he pass this art down is not easy. Would recommend to anyone and worth the drive and wait. read more

Sal's great - very friendly, professional and dependable service at a reasonable price! If I could, I would give 6-stars!

I called sal at 10:00AM and he said the best way to have him take a look at my car was to bring my car to San Mateo. I asked him can he fix the the dent on spot if we agreed on price, and his answered is NO I have to come back since I have prior appointments. I told him that I will be in san mateo about 12:45PM and he told me to call him before I left. I called him at 12:00 PM that he said he was in San Carlos and fixing cars and would not be in San Mateo. I told him that I am driving toward mountain view, and asked him to take a look at my car after he finished with fixing car. He said he might not have time to Mountain View since he is too busy today. I asked him when he would be in Mountain view. His answered was, "I don't know may be next week, but I don't have time to look at car for estimate when I am busy with fixing other people cars. Why don't you call me back at 4:00PM and see whether I have time today." I was busy at work and didn't call him back at 4:00PM. I will take my car to someone who is truly interested in doing business with me. read more

I was excited to see such great reviews on this guy, which is why I contacted him. I hate to leave such a negative review, but when you confirm an appointment with a customer and never show (no call or email either) to explain why you're a no show, that pisses me off. Now, if this guy can remedy the no show/no email/no call situation, I will amend this review. But I find it in very poor taste that you stand up a potential customer and not have the decency to give a reason why. Don't make me waste my time on my day off if you are not serious about the work. *update* It's the following morning and still no word from this guy. I was really hoping to have heard SOMETHING.....ANYTHING by now, but I guess this guy doesn't mind if a really negative review appears on Yelp for his business. He claims he forgot his phone, however we had a set time and place (within 2 block radius) to meet. Regardless, it doesn't really matter if he had his phone, he knew where to look for me. Word of mouth can be good or bad, and trust me, because I am utterly pissed about what happened, I will be sure not to refer anyone to this guy. I hope new customers think twice about using this guy. If you don't mind being stood up, and no communication, use this guy. All I ever wanted to this guy to offer a solution, or at least try to fix his mistake. Instead, he decided to blame me for being upset, and changed his excuses each time he would email me. I just wanted him to attempt to fix the situation, which he never did. read more

I contacted "Sal" on Monday and said I have a 3 cars that need dents removed and would like to get it done on FRIDAY. I explained what each car was and where the dents were located. Sal insisted he needed to see at least the BMW first. He offered to come by and take a look in SF on Tuesday since he had another customer to take care of. At 4:30pm he calls and says he is in SF but heading home and is not going to come by? Huh?? I say can I send you pictures of the car so we can proceed Friday? Yes I send pictures and on Wednesday he says he is now full on Friday. Sal's response "good luck finding someone who will run out when you call" Sal may do good work and that must be what is carrying his business because it clearly is not customer service skills. Better to find out now than later I suppose. read more

I had a great experience working with Sal. I had a dent on the driver side door of my car. I was quoted by another dent specialist first who recommended drilling. I didn't tell Sal how much I was quoted and he did it for cheaper and without having to drill holes. Awesome! My other car is definitely going to him. Highly recommend. read more

Wow! I left Sal setting up in the driveway with a check paid in full ahead of the work. I came home at the end of the day, I was amazed!!! These weren't the biggest dents at all but they were gone! One on the hood of my V70 was pretty deep but it lost the fight with Sal. I would recommend him to all my friends! read more

I was referred to him by my buddy who totally praised his work. Had my Benz's door wacked by a shopping cart. Sal fixed it and now there are no signs of a previous dent. This dude is like a miracle worker for the autobody industry. Price was very reasonable as well. Sal is a studd. read more

Sal did a great job. I would highly recommend him. He was prompt, easy to work with and got the job done just a couple of days later after the initial assessment. He is pleasant to work with and his rates are very reasonable. Thanks Sal! read more

Used Sal around 16 years ago for a previous car and was impressed with his work then. Unfortunately his business card went with the file of that previous car and I didn't know how to find him or even if he was still doing business but I did remember his name. I resorted to using Dentpro but found the workmanship to be very poor. So when I recently get a deep dent on my car door and not wanting to use Dentpro again, I tried a search on Yelp and read the Dent Expert reviews mentioning Sal. Could this be the same guy? I give him a call and confirm he's the same guy. Woo hoo!!! I immediately make plans to have him work not only on my new dent but also on the long dent on my other car that Dentpro never fully removed a few years ago. Well, Sal came over today and did a masterful job of removing both dents. He was great 16 years ago and has only gotten better over the years. Glad I found Sal again and will certainly use him for future work, which will hopefully not be any time soon! read more

I had been living with four dents from a vandal for two years. I felt shunned by the community. Disrespected and cut off in traffic at every turn. But I could not stomach the body shop's steep price for passenger side door rehabilitation. Could some guy working out of a van really deliver? I handed over the keys to Sal and returned to my office cubicle while he worked away on the hot concrete in the hot sun. The result appears to be perfection. My automotive and psychic wounds are healed thanks to Sal. He is a master craftsman. read more

I've been so impressed with Sal's work, that I have called him three times over the past two years to remove dents on my Ford Taurus. He is thorough with a keen eye for detail. It is impossible to tell a dent was even there. His work is flawless. What I also like about Sal is that he is mobile. He is punctual and shows up within the scheduled time frame we agreed to. He works on my car in the parking lot while I'm at work. That makes things so much easier and simpler for me with my busy schedule. After my experiences with Sal, I have no desire to look anywhere else. His work is pure quality - something difficult to find these days. He is a true professional with experience and knows what he is doing. I'm very relieved to know I can go to someone who is consistent and I can trust each and every time to remove the dents in my car. I highly recommend him. Your dents will be removed as if they were never there. read more

Sal did an excellent job on my Porsche 911! He completely removed the door ding, and was friendly, courteous and professional. I highly recommend calling Sal if you have a dent. read more

I appreciated the Sal was available to work on the X5 on the weekend. I had these small door dings in the rear panel. He was able to access the rear wheel well and work on them. read more

Sal is the best that I have used. You can save alot of time and money by using the Dent Expert. Sal has been doing my cars for about ten years. He also will work on hot rods as well. I can trust him. read more

Have used these guys for years! The BEST! Saul must of worked on the last 6-7 of my cars.

Some arbitrary person in San Francisco kicked a dent in my 06 BMW. I took it to an auto body shop to get an estimate and they wanted almost 800 dollars to fix the dent. I called Sal; he gave me an estimate and fixed my car within two hours for less than 300 dollars. It looks perfect. read more

I had a dent on my year old car, and looked at the Yelp reviews to see who I can call and rely on to fix my dent. He is laid back, yet professional and was very patient with me. He returned my call within a day and was able to fit me in the next day (in the evening). He quoted me a fair and reasonable price, took his time and I can tell he takes a great deal of pride in his work. His result was amazing. I highly recommend him. Thank you SAL. Thank you. read more

Sal is the BEST! PERIOD. It's fascinating to watch him apply his trade. My truck is a dent magnet so I'll call Sal when I have a few. I am always please with his work. read more

Do not use this person ! I called him and he had me drive to 25th ave in San Mateo where he did a full visual of my car and showed me the dents he saw , he eventually gave me a written estimate and told me he would be able to do my car on Monday as this was a Thursday , Monday comes but this guy didn't , he called me at like 7pm and told me he became really busy and forgot though I had texted him during the day he never replied so that I could salvage the day off work I lost and the money lost waiting for him ! He then told me he could do my car the following Monday , I said ok but I could not afford to miss another days work so I needed this to happen , This time not only did he not show he didn't call or return calls ! I called him on Tuesday the following day and he told me he didn't remember me or my car and that he works on so many cars etc.. but if I wanted to drive to Burlingame where he'd be all day working on a Tesla he would give me a new estimate and could probably do it on Friday ? He is a horrible businessman , and his prices are inflated if he ever shows up that is ! I ended up going with Carmelo at NorCal Dentworks who gave me a estimate and did the job the next day at about half what Sal the egomaniac was going to charge and his work was impeccable !!! Some people just don't deserve your money or business and this Sal the self proclaimed Dent Expert is one of them !!! read more

Look no further! I have been using Sal for about 7 years on my 911. He is able to get out every ding....my car still looks like brand new and I drive it every day! read more

Got a dent in my roof Saturday afternoon, emailed Sal photos Saturday night, and had it fixed Monday at my work place within 30mins! Overall, a great experience. Sal was very responsive, replying via email even on a Saturday night. read more

Very impressive. You almost don't want to believe the pictures he posts, but after him fixing a bunch of my dents, I am a believer. He was clear, fair, came when he said he was and fixed my really tough dents (they were in tough spots on my 2001 BMW. And I really feel much better about my car now. Well worth the money, and a fair price for the work performed. Not to mention he comes to you, so it saves you all of the headache of dropping off a car. Plus he is a Mac guy, so he clearly has taste. read more

Sal has been working miracles on my '91 Honda CRX for over 10 years. The car is basically made of tinfoil and easily dents, but looks like it just rolled out of the dealership thanks to his skills. He has incredibly high standards and attention to detail in his work and his prices have always been more than reasonable. In addition, on the one occasion where a dent required traditional bodywork (Mission shopping cart embedded in rear quarter panel), he was upfront in his assessment and didn't try to just make a buck off me. If you love your car, you'd be a fool not to have his phone number (650-FIX-DENT) on speed dial. read more

I am very happy with the work that was done on my 2006 Volkswagen Jetta. I had two small but nasty dents, one of which was on the body line, which are now completely gone. He warned me in advance that I still might see something after the repairs, but even he himself was surprised how easy the metal of the Jetta was fixed; guess I should write a positive review about VW as well... We met the Friday before and I got a quote from him, which was about $65 less than the body shops I have been to before. He fixed it on Wednesday in the parking lot at my place of work, took him about two hours. I would definitely recommend this guy, he really seems to love his profession and deliver a perfect job. read more

My immaculate new car got a deep door ding while I was sitting in it. The ding was the size of a quarter but to me looked horrible and conspicuous. The guy who gave the hit took full responsibility so it could get fixed. A body shop wanted to fill and paint the entire door at big cost of time and money. While that route would probably look fine, the idea of bondo on my new car just bugs me. I surfed the net and looked into paintless dent repair and decided to give Sal a try - given his experience and the before and after photos on his site. A half hour in the hands of a master and the deep ding was gone. Really gone. You cannot locate it at all. Sal was responsive, responsible, and pleasant. I'm sure he still is. Highly and fully recommended. read more

Is Sal as good as these reviews say he is?? YES YES YES!! He worked on my car in my garage all afternoon & evening and tonight my vehicle is like it was before I backed into that pole at the grocery store. : ) THANK YOU Sal!! read more

Didn't know too much about paintless dent removal. Found a few options on Yelp and thought I would give them a call. The first person I called was hesitant to touch the dent. My dent was considered a 'large dent'. (Someone backed into my car.) Then, my next call was to Sal. He came out to my home, said he could fix the dent. He fixed it, and I now I can't tell where the dent was. My neighbor asked if I got a new front panel for my car. Would definitely use him again. Thanks Sal! read more

Sal is a great. He does a perfect job. He is a great professional. He treats his customers with respect. He approaches all the problem areas with "can-do" attitude. At first I asked him to fix three major dents on my car. He did those to perfection. Later next day, I realized I forgot to tell him there were two other "very minor" dings in another area of the car. He made arrangements with me to fix those and did not charge me for it. How nice is that? read more

I got a pretty bad dent on my car and I was pretty hopeless until I met Sal. He took a closed look at the dent, got me an estimate and started working on his magic couple hrs later. After some hours of hard work the dent went away completely like it was never there!!! Before you take your car to a body shop give Sal a call I m sure he would be able to help. Sal is a true pro!!!!! read more

Sal is amazing. I have a unique car, a mid 1980's Euro-spec Renault, that I don't let just anyone touch due to the difficulty of getting replacement parts. He was able to remove a significant number of small dings on the doors that were right along sharp body lines. I'm good at sighting a panel, but Sal found dings that I couldn't see. He also removed a ding on the rear hatch that I didn't notice, and he didn't charge me for it. Sal is both a technical expert and an artist. read more
