    I got my 92 Toyota painted by Dent Experts based on them being highly recommended by a co-worker who had had several things painted over the years. The D.E. staff made sure I was informed about all my options, and did a great job of helping me pick out the perfect color. I also had them add a protective coating to my truck bed, which is holding up well since 2018, as has the paint. I get complements on the truck wherever I go. I was impressed enough with their work and prices to bring my motorcycle parts in recently (fenders, tank, headlight cowl) to have them painted, and will post a review of that later... I highly recommend them!

    Dent Experts is the most wonderful, full service shop in all of Santa Barbara and Goleta. Very fair and most importantly, honest and simply.. the real deal!

    Dent Experts is the best body shop in the Santa Barbara area. I cannot begin to express how happy I am with Dent Experts, their technicians and in particular Kaylee, the manager of the shop. My BMW was hit in a hit and run a few months ago. I had been going back and forth with my insurance for weeks about getting the car repaired when they finally told me my car would be a total loss. I felt helpless. I love my car and the last thing I wanted to do was get rid of it or have it considered salvage. I called Dent Experts as a last chance attempt at saving my car. Thank god I did! Kaylee knew exactly what I was going through and went ABOVE AND BEYOND working with me on a estimate to fix my car at a price that would prevent it from becoming a total loss. Dealing with Dent Experts felt like I was dealing with family friends. Kaylee treated me as though I had been a costumer with them for 20+ years. I have never experienced a business with such integrity, professionalism, customer service and skill. 11/10 in every way possible. Long story short Kaylee and the Dent Expert technicians not only repaired my car, they made it look better than when I bought it a couple years ago. My car is back on the road with a clean title and looks unbelievable. My advice to anyone in need of body work is to make Dent Experts your first choice, go to shop.

    This is an amazing auto body shop. I damaged my car on a rock and am so impressed by how good it looks now. I love their effort to recycle parts and am so grateful! Everyone I interacted with was professional and helpful. I also saved at least $700 here which is much appreciated. Highly recommend, 10/10

    I can't recommend this place highly enough. Over the years, I've conducted business with Dent Experts a handful of times, each time leaving satisfied. While they may market themselves as a lower-cost alternative to a typical body shop, their work certainly goes unparalleled. I brought my mom's car in this week to see about getting some noticeable, deep rear bumper scrapes fixed. These scrapes had been accrued several years back so I was initially unsure about the likelihood of getting the bumper back to a like-new condition. The shop itself is in a hard-to-find portion of old town Goleta, but the employees definitely had their work cut out for them with the number of vehicles on their premises. Kaylee, the owner, conducted the free estimate for me. She was knowledgeable, professional, and recognized me from the last time I'd been in their shop which i thought was pretty cool. I was given a fair price on the spot for a few different tiers of work. Ultimately, I chose one of the quoted tiers and am glad I did. My mom's car was turned around by Dent Experts in a matter of two days. Not only does the end result appear in showroom condition, but they were also able to buff out another surface scuff free of charge. An investment well-spent for my deserving mother who will likely keep her car for several more years (it's a Honda - they last forever). I can't wait to show my mom, who is out of town and had no clue I was doing this as a Mother's Day gift. I'm so proud of the work that was done to her car, and know that she will absolutely love her baby's new lease on life! Thanks for the wonderful service, Kaylee and the Dent Experts team!

    Before and after!

    I'm extremely pleased with the shop's bumper repair work. Their repair is flawless and the work was completed on time at a fair price.

    David and his team are GENIUSES. Seriously, they are the Rhodes Scholar of auto detailing…read more My 2007 Saab was really bad. I hadn't had a detail in a decade and it was just filthy inside and out. It's a NEW car, minus the dent I need to have vacuumed or sucked out and the driver's seat. Saab leather cracks sooner than other brands. My Nissan Pathfinder LE (1998) lasted much longer. I took a video but will get pictures later and upload to phone. I cannot believe the ceiling. Like no one ever smoked! It's shiny, shiny, shiny. They did the interior and exterior, plus engine. Elite detailing isn't cheap but if , like me, you paid cash for your used car and have no payments, who cares? It's like a couple months car payment or so. Do yourself a favor and call for a quote. The website has no prices but they also do ceramic coating, with several tiers of packages. You can do a mini-detail or just regular car wash but if you leave the car with them for a day, they will give you a NEW CAR back at the day's end. I'm still on Cloud 9. Floating! Every time I see my baby, I smile! PS. THE SB INDEPENDENT BEST OF LIST IS HORRIBLE. The best acupuncturist, not just in SB but California, is Anthony Kar. He's probably the best in America. He wasn't on the list. My friend, Evan Schoolnik Berger, has a food tour company that didn't make the list. My chiropractor and gym made it. Barry Family Chiro and SBAC/SWELL are the best in town. But David's shop should have made the list.

I was stressed and looking for help when I happened to drive by Sunshine Auto Spa around 6:30 PM -- well after their normal closing time -- and saw them still hard at work. I stopped in and spoke to David, and he immediately stepped in to help me out. Not only did he take the time to assess the damage, but he and his team also went above and beyond by staying late to remove the scratches and also for the paintwork -- all on the spot, the same evening. I honestly couldn't believe how accommodating, professional, and kind they were. The work they did was flawless -- my rental looked like nothing had ever happened. And to top it off, the price was incredibly reasonable. It's rare to find service this good and people who genuinely care about helping others. Thank you again, David and team, for turning a stressful situation into such a positive experience.

The passenger side door was crunched by a Pool cleaner's truck so badly that my insurance wanted to total it. No way! Rene got a replacement door in 2 days, installed and _perfectly matched_ the (aged) 3-stage metallic silver color. A few years before, we had a bad interior roof leak. Rene diagnosed that the front window gasket was leaking. Unfortunately, it had rusted the front of roof so badly it needed to be rebuilt. Aiiieee ya! With that curvature in two directions and the lip for glass it should have been impossible. Not for Rene's team! Their prices are quite reasonable. Rene and his team are fast and darned good.

I took it to another reputable body shop, who immediately pointed out that the bumper was not prepped properly. The surface hadn't been sanded or treated with adhesion promoter before painting. When I brought this up to Mathew, he refused to take responsibility and wouldn't stand behind his work. Any professional shop knows that proper prep is the most basic step in refinishing a replacement bumper, so this was disappointing to hear. Now I'm left with a bumper that needs to be completely redone, at my expense, because of poor workmanship and a lack of accountability. I would strongly recommend taking your car elsewhere if you want the job done correctly and backed by a shop that honors its work.

    I had an accident and had heard good things about this establishment. So when my insurance adjuster…read moresaid I would need to get an estimate, I requested this shop. On day 1 I was greeted by Gabriel, and he was very nice and knowledgeable on what they do. And immediately took me out to inspect my truck, and then we went to get me an estimate. I thought the prices were very reasonable, and that made me happy. I wasn't expecting to drop off the car that day, but Gabriel said they could reach out to the Rental car agency. Unfortunately, Enterprise only had one vehicle and it was out of the price range that insurance would cover, so I said I would have to look somewhere else. That's when Louie reached out to Enterprise, and was able to get me the vehicle for the amount that the insurance covered. I was very impressed!! I was told that it would take about a week for me to get my car back, but actually it only took about five days. So I was happy to get my truck back before the holiday weekend. I was called on 7/1 and was informed that my truck would be ready in a few hours and that it was being washed. When I arrived, my car was in pristine condition, Jesus and his team did a wonderful job. I felt like a VIP client. And I'm sure everyone that's taken their vehicle there, feels the same way. I think they all deserve a raise. I can tell everybody takes pride in their work and I'm grateful for the service I received.

You can see from the pictures that this was a small thing, but with the dent underneath the chip -- which went all the way down to the aluminum -- it required not a small amount of craftship to make it end up looking good as new. They returned the car to me with a full cleaning as well. More than happy to add to their string of 5-star reviews.
