The front bumper had been badly damaged, and I honestly wasn't sure it could ever look the same again. The results exceeded every expectation. The repair is absolutely flawless--it looks brand new, as if the damage never happened. The paint match is perfect, the body lines are spot-on, and the craftsmanship is simply first-class. What impressed me just as much was the entire customer experience. From my very first phone call, everyone was courteous, knowledgeable, and professional. They provided an accurate estimate for both the cost and the repair time, kept me informed throughout the process, and delivered exactly what they promised. That level of honesty and communication is becoming increasingly rare. When I picked up the car, I was amazed to find they had also cleaned the interior. It looked and smelled like it had been professionally detailed. That extra attention to detail says everything about how much they care about their customers. Adrian and his team have earned my complete trust. Their customer service, professionalism, courtesy, and commitment to quality simply cannot be overstated. If you're looking for the very best in auto body repair, look no further than C&G. I don't give compliments lightly, but this shop deserves every one of them. Five stars without hesitation.

I requested an oil change, tire rotation and balance, and a diagnosis of an A/C and heater blower motor issue that I believed required replacement. When I arrived, an attendant moved my vehicle and advised that it also needed a Virginia state inspection. While discussing the work, I asked whether there were any additional maintenance items they would recommend. A few hours later, I received a call recommending additional services, including brake service, a transmission fluid flush, and spark plug replacement. I approved the work after being told the vehicle would be ready before closing. At approximately 5:45 PM, having not received a completion call, I contacted the shop and was told my vehicle was finished and ready for pickup. I immediately walked over to the shop and met with the manager, Ed. While paying my bill, which totaled more than $1,100, Ed suddenly realized he had not addressed the inspection sticker. He grabbed a scraper and a new Virginia inspection sticker and walked to my vehicle. My windshield has been professionally tinted for several years. The vehicle had already passed a previous Virginia state inspection with the same windshield tint, and the inspection sticker was still visible. While attempting to remove the existing sticker, Ed used a scraper on the tinted windshield. He then stated that he needed Windex because of the tint. After returning with Windex, I observed visible damage and residue on the tint film where the scraper had been used. The damage is clearly visible in the photographs I took immediately afterward. When I pointed out the damage and stated that the shop would need to repair it, the entire conversation changed. Up until that point, he had been preparing to remove the old inspection sticker and install a new one. Once I raised the issue of the damage, he suddenly claimed that he could not complete the inspection because the windshield was tinted and that I needed tint authorization language on my registration. When I asked him to identify the law or regulation requiring such language on my registration, he could not provide one. I pointed out that he had been actively preparing to install a new inspection sticker moments earlier. He responded that he was going to do so "to make me feel better." He then refused to repair the damage caused to the tint. I requested the owner's contact information. Initially, he stated he would provide it. Later, he refused, claiming the owner was overseas and unavailable. He suggested I contact the Virginia State Police inspector who oversees inspection stations. However, whether the tint complies with Virginia regulations is separate from the fact that damage to my vehicle had already been caused during the inspection process. What concerns me most is the complete lack of accountability. Rather than acknowledging the damage and discussing how to resolve it, the conversation immediately shifted toward blaming the customer. This is not the first time I have experienced this. During a previous repair involving aftermarket shocks, I was also told the problem was my fault rather than due to installation or workmanship issues. As a customer, I can accept mistakes. What I cannot accept is damage to my vehicle, followed by shifting explanations, refusal to take responsibility, and an unwillingness to make things right. The result was a bill exceeding $1,100, unresolved concerns regarding the work performed, damage to my windshield tint, and no meaningful attempt to address the issue. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Japanese Auto Service Center. If something goes wrong, do not expect accountability, transparency, or customer service. This version is strong because it stays factual, documents the timeline, and avoids statements that could be challenged as speculation or defamation. In practice, reviews written this way tend to carry more weight with readers, Google, Yelp, and regulatory agencies.

I trusted them to make necessary repairs. Monday I had to take my dog to have serious surgery all the way in Manassas.

While my dog was in surgery I took it to a local mechanic because I didn't want any problems on my way home. After a $113 diagnostics test I was told the parts I'd just purchased in November were faulty. I called Liberty and I was told to bring it in. Tuesday on my way to Liberty my car shuts off. ON THE 395 FREEWAY! Yes. It. Shut. Off. Imagine my terror as cars were steadily moving past me. After less than a minute it started long enough for me to drive safely off of the freeway. I had the car towed in the evening and left the keys with the attendant. Yesterday (Wednesday) I get a call at 5:28 that my car is ready. I don't get there until 7:30 and the garage is closed. The current attendant gives me my keys and when I go to turn the car on, it doesn't start. I tell the attendant and he says, "I'm just an attendant, I don't work here"... I was livid. So rather than going home with my car keys and no I left the keys with the clerk and filled out another for. Today (Thursday) I call them around 1:30 to see the status of my car. Ricardo tells me that there was one car close to being finished in the next 10 minutes and that my car would be next. It is now 5:43 PM and Ricardo just called me to tell me my car didn't start because of the battery. And that he needed to order a new battery for me because they didn't have any more of the battery he needed for me. So they're kept my car a whole nother day for a battery...an absolute inconvenience and I believe a passive aggressive response to me holding them to their own warranty. I won't ever recommend this place to my friends. And they just list a loyal customer because of their shady behavior.

Not too long ago some careless hack decided that my 4-month old car should have a deep ding on the side. I could see the mark a mile away as I approached my car in the grocery store parking lot and was sooo disappointed. I found DentMasters in an online search and thought that I would give it a try. To be honest, my expectations were pretty low since the "puncture wound" in my car looked as if someone had tried to put a nail into the side of the car. The technician (Richard Routson) met me right on time at the Mercedes dealership in Arlington and provided an estimate within minutes. About 45 minutes later I drove out of the dealership - no dents, no marks, no sign whatsoever that someone had even touched the car. I looked and looked but couldn't find the slightest indication that the dent was ever there (I was also afraid of some residual marks from the work to remove the dent, but couldn't see a sign of that either.) The repair was completed quickly, efficiently and exceptionally well, not to mention a very reasonable price. No hesitations, if this happens again, I know where to turn. Amazing job, DentMasters, thank you! read more

I had a few dings in my new Mini Cooper S that were bugging me. Took it to a couple of paintless dent removal places. Their quotes seemed reasonable but both places said they could not get out one of the dings that was too close to an edge. I did a little more research via car forums and found out Richard was one of the most recommended PDR guys. I sent him a few photos and got a reasonable quote. Richard was able to fit me in the very next day. He is located in the Mercedes of Arlington service department. I waited in the MB of Arlington customer lounge (free coffee and donuts!) and the car was done in about 2 hours. The Mini Cooper has an enormous amount of bracing and stiffeners in the body which made the job more difficult than usual. Richard ended up using the "glue and pull" method and even got out the ding that was really close to an edge. It came out absolutely perfect and I couldn't be any happier. You can tell by talking with Richard that he really knows what he is doing as opposed to some of the fly-by-night places. Very highly recommended to even the most discerning car owner such as myself! read more

I definitely recommend Dent Masters!! I have a 2013 Hyundai Elantra, and 6 weeks after purchasing it, I came out of a super market to discover someone had slammed a cart in the passenger side door and left a huge, very noticeable indentation. I took it to several body shops to get an estimate on repairs and was quoted between $900 and $1500 - they would have to essentially replace the entire door panel because of the design of the door (it has a raised leading edge). Then I got online and found Dent Masters. They had good reviews so I scheduled an appointment for an estimate and then for the actual repair. Richard was so helpful! He was responsive, polite, professional, and for the considerably lower price I was quoted/paid made the door look brand new! He even pointed out and fixed another minor dent I hadn't even noticed. Now you can't even tell a dent was on the passenger side door, and it definitely didn't require replacing the entire door panel. Hopefully, my car won't need anymore dent repair work in its future, but if it does I am definitely taking it back to Dent Masters!!! read more

My Subaru WRX had a couple of dents on the driver door side in a somewhat straight line. Richard said the dents could or maybe because of a support brace from the inside structure that was bonded to the door. He said he was confident he could fix it.I was a bit worried that he won't be able to bypass the said brace if it was from that. Since he has a lot of good reviews I decided to go ahead and have it fixed. Took about an hour and a half, Called me and said my car is ready, I checked his work from every angle and it was flawless. Richard was very professional, courteous and efficient. He did an excellent job repairing those dents. Also I hate it when my car comes back with the Mirrors/seat/radio/ac adjusted. My car came back clean, nothing touched or adjusted, everything was the way I left it. I also paid cash and Richard said he would email me my receipt, before I got home he had already done that. This is the place to go to especially if you are a car enthusiast and baby your car! read more

Fantastic! That is what I have to say about Richard at Dentmasters. I walked outside one morning to find an ugly dent on the hood of my car. No idea what happened, but since my car is new, I was really upset. I took it to an auto-body shop and had to wait at least half an hour for a quote. The quote was unbelievably high and I was told I would have to leave my car for 3 days (3 days!) and I would have to call several days in advance to get it scheduled. They also told me it would probably be better to just live with the dent. That is when I called Richard. He was very positive and said he should be able to take care of the problem and I made an appointment for that Friday. When I met Richard, he looked at the dent and said it would cost exactly what he had quoted me on the phone. Within less than an hour and for a lot less money, I was driving away dent free. I don't know exactly how the process works but I would have to say that Richard is an artist. I could not be happier. read more

I was looking to get rid of a couple of dents on my left door and right rear panels and a friend recommended Dentmasters as an alternative to the body shop. What a great recommendation it was!!! The entire process couldn't have been easier, I made my appointment through email, brought my car into the Mercedes-Benz dealer in Ballston (which is right around the corner from my apartment), got a quick estimate and they removed both dents in under 2 hours. When I got my car back, I couldn't even tell where the dents had been. If I had brought my car into a body shop, it probably would have cost me over a grand. A big thanks to Richard R for taking care of me, dude was a consummate professional and we actually ended up talking football after I got my car back, turns out he's a die hard Hokie and Skins fan. I have been telling all of my friends about Dentmasters and wouldn't hesitate to use them again. read more

Richard did a great job removing a tricky acorn dent from the aluminum hood of my 997. It was on the edge of the hood, and I knew it would be tough to get PDR tools to reach it because of the support frame in the way on the underside. We looked over it and he quoted $250 to remove it and said I wouldn't have to pay if he found later he couldn't reach it. I also had a smaller dent on the same hood and he quoted $100 to remove it but agreed to knock $50 off because it was on the same panel. The price wasn't the lowest I've ever paid for a difficult paintless dent removal job, but the service and quality of work was excellent. He allotted two hours for the work and I got a call two hours after the appointment time saying he was done and the car was ready to be picked up. I will be bringing more work to Dentmasters in Arlington. read more

After reading all these rave reviews on yelp, I wondered if Richard could really be as good as everyone claimed. And, he is! I had a big, nasty dent on the trunk of my hatchback that was interfering with the latch mechanism and wasn't allowing me to even open the trunk. Richard did an amazing job fixing the dent in a few hours at his estimated price of $400. I dropped the car off on my way to work and a few hours later he called to tell me it was ready and he sentme a video of the fix. I was stunned at how good it looks, and he did the job in the time and at the price he quoted me. You can't tell anything was ever wrong with it. The guy is a miracle worker! If I have any other dents (hopefully not!) I will just take the car back to Richard. read more

Someone backed into my car and left a medium sized dent in my front bumper. After getting quotes from auto body repair shops, I emailed Richard along with some other places that offer the same quick dent repair service without extensive body work. Not only did he respond promptly, he was the only one to respond (and his quote was 50% less than the auto body shops' quote). When I dropped the car off, Richard expressed some doubt about being able to work on my plastic bumper and said that he would not be able to repair the broken emblem, which I didn't anticipate he could and did not ask him to repair. The repair took about 1.5 hours, as Richard estimated, and now my car looks brand new except for the emblem, which I knew he couldn't repair. read more

We dented a new 2013 Honda CRV bringing it home from the dealership. That's got to be a record. Anyway, one quote was $450. But my wife remembered reading something about PDR, found DentMasters online, and I took it over there. Richard was great and quoted us $350 for the job. It was done in two hours, and absolutely flawlessly. You literally could not tell there had ever been a dent. He made a video of the before-and-after as a momento. Gee, just what we always wanted.

Can't add much to what others have said. Richard's repair to my car was expert, timely, priced as expected (half or better of what the body shop would have charged) and worth every penny. Hope not to go back but definitely will if I need to. A great resource to know about. Should probably add that the damage repaired was a MAJOR ding down the whole side of my front passenger door when a Hurricane Matthew wind took a neighboring parked car door out of control. I ALMOST want to say Thanks to that anonymous parker, in that the damage lead me to such an excellent source of repair (via a trusted body shop!). I never expected that the scratches that resulted would be paintlessly fixable, too, but they are totally gone. WOW. read more

Skeptical at first especially since the dent was in an unusual place (right above the door handle on my truck). The technician, Richard explained the details of the fix, I left hoping that the resulting fix will be timely and professional. I was gone for only 40 minutes, only to return to see my truck outside the dealership in the receiving lane. I wondered "did he go to lunch?" To my surprise the truck was done! Not one blemish, wrinkle or wave! It's as almost if the dent never existed--I was floored! Excellent work and a fair price, what can't you love about that! I highly recommend this company, specifically, Richard, if you want your vehicle done right. Kudos DentMaster! read more

Richard repaired in one day over fifty dents in the hood and roof of a months old, black Chevy Colorado; dents from a tall oak that dropped acorns on the truck for about two days. Magic wouldn't have done any better. Seriously, you just can't see where the dents were and that's on a black vehicle that shows every imperfection in the clear coat. I was honestly worried about some of them since they weren't perfectly round dents; some having a more or less crease in the middle of the dent(s). It is also an aluminum body which Richard and others said are tougher to repair. Fast, professional, courteous. Truck and peace of mind are good as new. Highly, highly recommend. read more

I can't say enough good things about DentMasters and Richard Routson! When my Infiniti FX 35 was hit in a parking lot (driver side door and back door damaged), I was anxious to get it fixed right away.

I was immediately comfortable working with DentMasters- Richard R. not only quoted me the best price, but he was able to get my car in right away at his Arlington location. My car was turned around same-day, and when I picked it up, it looked perfect! I would absolutely recommend DentMasters to anybody who is looking for repairs. read more

He had already left the dealership, but came back to the shop to give me a quick estimate. Before noon the next day, my car looked as good as the first day that I bought it. When Richard was done, I couldn't even tell where the dent was...he did an amazing job and was more than reasonable. Thank you Dent Masters! read more

Like others, had a few dings in a car that bugged me and that I wanted gone before trading it in for a new car. It's a ritual. I found the Dentmasters location at the Mercedes Benz in Arlington and met Richard there to check out the car. Their rates are more than what I'd paid in the past, but Richard gave me a fair price even though the dings were on more than one panel of the car. They were all accessible and small. Richard was very professional and pleasant to work with. Managed to take care of the dings without having to drill through anything. And it's also not too shabby waiting in the MB customer lounge.

Richard was terrific - the world would be a much better place if everyone in the automotive industry was a professional as he was. He thoroughly explained the process. Provided an estimate and completed the work on time. The dent was in a really difficult area on the truck (an upright support next to a widow) where the metal was thicker than other places and the dent harder to get too. It came out flawless, much better than I thought it ever could. I have no hesitation in recommending him because I believe if he can't do the job well he'll tell you. But if he can do it - he will and you'll be happy. read more

Richard was most professional, proficient, and polite. The two dents on my Audi are now invisible.

But truth to tell, Richard was upfront with me from the start and told me that $600 was the price and I agreed. The Mercedes waiting room would not get more than two stars from me.

Dentmasters of Arlington did a great job removing a seven inch dent from my 2002 Honda S2000. The dent was caused by a falling tree branch and spanned a body line on the rear quarter panel.

Hassan was sensitive to the fact that insurance was not paying for my repairs, I would be paying out-of-pocket. His prices were fair, reasonable, and significantly lower than the nearby competitors. Most important, I was completely satisfied with the repairs and the color match on the paint, and I was back on the road the next day. If you need body work on your car in the Arlington/Alexandria area, and you like the personalized service of a family-owned business, you should definitely send it here! Skip the fancy waiting rooms and high prices and get the quality work you want at Fine Line Auto.

BMW of Fairfax Collision Center

I WISH THERE WAS AN OPTION FOR NEGATIVE STARS. RUN, JUST RUN FROM THIS PLACE…read more I am beyond disappointed with the experience I had at BMW Fairfax Collision Center. I brought in my 2025 BMW M850--a $120,000 car--with very minor damage to the rear passenger door and quarter panel. Multiple body shops estimated the repair at around $2,000, but because the car being brand new, I chose this shop specifically for their claim of being BMW-certified and capable of delivering factory-quality work. That was a huge mistake. I scheduled the repair with Andy and clearly stated my expectations for a factory-quality finish. I was told the job would take about 10 days. Instead, it dragged on for 5 weeks. The excuse? Insurance underwriter was "new and in training." Meanwhile, I had to pay an extra $430 out of pocket for a rental car. To make matters worse, they billed my insurance $8,500 for a repair that should have been straightforward. When I finally got my car back, the paint job was shockingly bad. Orange peel, overspray all over the exterior--and even inside the car. Completely unacceptable. After I complained, I had to wait another 2 weeks just for them to arrange a rental so they could fix their own mistakes. The shop manager, Henry, promised he would personally oversee the repair and said it would take 2 more weeks. Then things got even worse. After those 2 weeks, Henry contacted me asking if I was the second owner of the car. He claimed that the front fender and A-pillar had been previously painted, which is why the color didn't match. I told him I bought the car brand new and I am the only owner. He then suggested that sometimes cars are damaged during transport and repaired by dealers without disclosure. Now their "solution" is to strip half the car down to bare metal and repaint it--for the THIRD time. I also reached out to BMW USA, and frankly, they seem completely uninterested in helping or holding their certified shops accountable. It really makes you question what "BMW-certified" even means. If they can't handle a minor paint repair, I would not trust them with anything more serious. At this point, I genuinely fear for the condition of my car. Save yourself the time, money, and frustration--take your car anywhere else, even Maaco. And honestly, even making that comparison feels unfair to Maaco. Avoid this place at all costs.

I am very happy with the service provided at this BMW…read morelocation/collision center. Andy was amazingly helpful, knowledgeable, friendly and professional . Kept me updated periodically on the repair status of my car. It was repaired very nicely and returned sparkly clean! Highly recommend! A+

You won't find better, mire attentive care at any price, and you'll like Jack's prices…read more I took my daughter's 2008 Highlander in for some body work. She had hit a pole in a parking garage and I had smushed the back bumper. She had gotten an estimate at a "big name" shop that was more than kbb value on the car. I go to skyline next door for all my mechanical work so I swung by and asked Jack for an estimate. The price seemed extremely reasonable, so we made an appointment. He fixed the bent parts good as new, perfectly matched the paint on an 18 year old car, and even buffed the headlights at no charge before I picked it up. He does great work, the price was fair and exactly what he estimated, and he went the extra mile. A++!

Excellent work, reasonably priced and done on time. Would recommend! Easy access off Seminary Rdread more

The best thing about here is that they keep you updated. You don't have to keep calling or asking. They will text, call or leave a voicemail. They are very responsive.

I can be picky and really appreciate accountability and they didn't make me feel bad about it. Thank you so much!
