    Although I may be a spectral manifestation that lives in a world of illusion, sometimes I descend into the world of material possessions, possessions which sometimes get damaged due to their fragile physical nature. The Grateful Dent did a great job repairing a small but complicated ding in a precarious spot near the seam on the rear passenger door of my white Mercedes GLC 300. He was super friendly with easy communication and extremely helpful with suggestions on how to repair other cosmetic blemishes. If your dark star crashes, call The Grateful Dent to pour it's light into your ashes.

    Rob was extremely professional, helpful and effective at removing the dents in my Model 3. I had gotten quotes from several auto body shops to repair a door dent in my front passenger door that popped the door area (under the handle) out significantly. There were about four other small door dents on my car too but I was mostly concerned about the dent that affected the door handle. Other shops quoted me between $650-$1,100 to fix only the door handle area and one shop quoted me $3,076 to repair all the dents and repaint those areas. Rob met me at my home to examine the dents. He quoted me $500 for all of the dents, but he was very clear that the area along the crease/line under the door handle wouldn't be 100% like new because it's difficult. I was fine with that. He also said he would do his best to remove all the smaller dents, but the ones that had paint scraped off would obviously still have the paint scrape, which I could touch up on my own. We scheduled repairs for another day. It took him a couple hours but he managed to fix almost all my dents! They look good to me, and it's much improved, especially the door handle one. That one was the priority. I do not care to have my car look like it's brand new (with a paint job); I just wanted the dents out and Rob definitely met my expectations. There was another one that was a pretty deep scratch more so than a dent that he pushed out as best he could and I appreciated his efforts. He accepts cash or Venmo. I would definitely recommend Rob if you are looking for paintless dent repair that is affordable and done with skill and effort. He is very kind and will be honest about what he can do for your car. He was not 100% sure about the structure of the metal panel door handle unit of the Tesla so he checked with another professional before committing to fixing my car. If you are looking for someone who will treat your car as he would his own car, then I would highly recommend Rob. Thank you, Rob!

    Rob did a good job of fixing the dents in our BMW and Toyota. Happy with the communication and service. Will be using him again in the future if we have the displeasure of receiving more dings!

    Texted pic & a vid to Rob after getting an annoying parking lot ding. He had best price and WAY less than collision shop painting the door and having to blend with driver's door. Met him on a Friday morning and job was done in under 2 hours. Thanks Rob!

    --USE THIS BUSINESS; 5+ Stars!!!-- I had a tricky dent right on the seam of the front fender of my Audi Q5. Body shop quoted in the thousands to repair. I was referred to Rob at Grateful Dent and he was amazing. He came to my house and fixed the dent at my house for hundreds (not thousands) of dollars. The car's body and paint look perfect now. Grateful Dent is won my future business and referrals for all paint-less body work going forward! Looking for a dent remover - look no further, use g Grateful Dent!

    after dent removal

    Did a great job removing the dent on my Toyota Camry bumper. Appreciate the fast work he did. The dent was removed in less than an hour !

    After repairs were done

    I needed a reliable person to fix a nasty dent on my passenger side door. So many thanks to the Yelpers who posted photos of Rob's work. This helped me decide to use his services. Rob arrived within a few hours of my call and patiently worked the dent. After spending about 90 minutes to meticulously remove the dent, the door, except for the chipped paint, now looks as good as new . I would definitely recommend Rob and would not hesitate to use him again.

    The first week in owning our new car and we ran into the bad luck of having someone kick a dent in the back door. Rob was super responsive and made it out the next day to take a look. An hour later and he was able to get the door almost as good as new. Would definitely call him again!

    Had a fairly large dent on my 1994 Miata that had been there since I bought the car back in 2003. It didn't bother me, so I never addressed it. I am planning on having my car ceramic coated, so I thought it would be a good time to remove the dent. Rob came out, gave me an estimate for $300 and went to work. His rates were very competitive and you could not tell the dent was ever there. I am so pleased with how this turned out. I totally recommend Rob and The Grateful Dent.

    After

    Rob was fast, responsive, and very good with his work. I called the morning after I had discovered my door ding and I didn't really expect a response from most businesses until at least 1-2 business days, but Rob not only responded within a couple hours, but also came by to inspect and fix it on the spot. The best part was how mobile Rob was and also flexible with his schedule. He was a very nice guy and we even talked about my car for a bit. After he shined some light on the damage it'll we discovered the door ding damage went all the way down the whole door panel and Rob fixed it with no issues at all. Cant even tell anything happened. Will definitely be my go to guy for things related!

    Rob worked his magic on my 2021 Model Y Tesla today. supercharger plug dropped and hit my tailgate and made a small dent. Reach out to Rob and made an appointment the following day. Price was fair for having a piece of mind. Definitely would recommend him.

    Rob got back to me within 15 minutes and i could come by and have the dent repaired on the spot! I watched him work the dent like a pro and it was gone in less than 15 minutes. I'll be back for all my dents in the future! Price was very reasonable.

    See all

    Unfortunately, I'm really unhappy with the paint job I received and just want people to be able to…read moreset expectations. I requested a quote for repair of a bunch of rock chips on the front fender of my car. We met, discussed the plan to fill in the chips with paint, and I understood it wasn't going to look perfect by any means, but seemed like the color would at least be a close match again. Literally 30 minutes later I got a call the job was done and came out to what looked like grayish White Out had been quickly dabbed onto each of the rock chips. I was kind of shocked at how it looked and asked what else could be done to which he basically replied "this color is really hard to match so I can sand/paint the whole front bumper, but it still won't match the rest of the car" so didn't really seem like a solution at all. A few things. I understand there are material costs of doing the job, but for 30 minutes of labor and a poor outcome I think $400 was nuts even though this was cheaper than other quotes. If the color of my car (stock Lexus pearl white) was too difficult to match, he could've just said so before putting paint on my car. Again, if the number of rock chips was too many to fix, I wish he would've just said that before beginning or after the first one. Lastly, I was just very annoyed with the offered "solution". Tony was a really nice guy and I do feel like I went into this with realistic expectations, but now my $60k car looks like it has grayish chicken pox all over the front and I'm pretty angry. Just want to leave this here so anyone else in a similar situation can take a look at the close-up and set appropriate expectations before proceeding.

    I'm glad that I got in contact with Tony. I sent a quote request thru Yelp and he was one of many…read morewho responded. I had accidentally messed up my friend's car as I was rushing out of the parking lot. I tore up his bender right under his headlight. Tony quoted a reasonable estimate and suggested to fix the existing bumper. When he finally arrived to fix the car he kept the original estimate and did the body repair in just a few hours. He did an incredible job and my friend is happy with the work. I'll be contacting Tony again for needed body repair. My car needs to be fixed too!
