We had an great experience with Touch Up Specialist! Japheth did an incredible job on my wife's car -- the scratches are completely gone and the color match is perfect. Veryprofessional and a quick turnaround. If you're in San Diego and need paint touch-ups, I highly recommend them! read more

I recently scratched the side of my black car against my garage stucco (so frustrating ), plus I had a few older dings and scratches that had been bothering me for a while. My Subaru is about 6 years old, and every time I saw those marks, it drove me crazy. I was honestly considering trying to buff it out myself with YouTube videos... but a friend quickly talked me out of that (probably for the best!). I found Japheth's business, Touch Up Specialist, on Yelp and reached out. He responded quickly with a quote, and we were able to agree on a very reasonable price for the work I needed. He was also great with communication--he even texted a reminder the day before, which I really appreciated. He was friendly and professional, and you could tell he really takes pride in his work. He didn't rush at all and paid close attention to detail. He mentioned he's been doing this for 30 years and even does work for dealerships--which definitely shows in the quality. Honestly, I did not expect my car to look as good as it did when he finished. The scratches were blended and camouflaged so well that I can barely see them now. I'm seriously so happy with the results. I also loved that he's mobile--it made everything so convenient since I could stay home and get things done while he worked on my car. Overall, Japheth seems like a genuinely honest and trustworthy person, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. Thanks again, Japheth! read more

These guys and specifically Japheth (J-Fifth) did a fantastic job on two, white Tesla Model 3s. We had three bumpers worth of damage between the two cars plus a bunch of paint chipping and scuff marks in multiple places. He knocked it all out in about 5 hours and the cars literally look brand-new again (one car is a 2020, the other is a 2021). Super easy to work with, great text communication, and extremely reasonable price as well. Highly recommend, thanks Japheth! Henry read more

We have a white Mazda CX-5 that got hit with a grocery cart, which caused several paint chips on one of the doors and the metal was showing through. I tried to touch them up myself with a Mazda paint pen, but the pearl white color didn't touch up well and it looked WAY worse after I did that. I was so bummed. I found Japeth on Yelp and he said he could do a full repair, or just touch-up to hide the chips. If he did a touch-up, he could fix what I had done with the paint pen and he would also go around the entire car and touch-up every other chip and scratch on the car for only $175. My husband and I were really happy to hear that price because we were on a budget, so we booked him. Because we only wanted to pay for touch-up (not full repair), Japeth set our expectations by making it clear beforehand that it wasn't going to look perfect. He said the paint would match 90-95% and you would still be able to see the chips if you got close up, but we were totally fine with that. We just wanted the paint to look better and to not see any exposed metal. He came to our house and did the touch-up painting in our garage in about an hour and a half. (There were a lot of chips and scratches beyond what's in the pics.) When he was done, we were amazed with how well it turned out! Japeth fixed the mess I made with the paint pen and matched the pearl white color almost perfectly. He even buffed out some large marks that didn't require painting. Yes, you can see the outline of the bigger chips if you get really close up, but they don't catch your eye at all. And the smaller chips that he touched up are almost invisible. Now, you just see a white car. It was totally worth $175! I wish I had taken more "Before" pics, but the three I am attaching show the huge difference to the "After" pics. Additionally, I referred Japeth to my mom who hired him too. She has a white Honda and the bumper looked horrible with big chips and scratches all over it. She also had small chips on the rest of her car and her side mirror looked really bad. She had Japeth do a full repair on her bumper as well as the touch-ups to the rest of her car, so she paid $425. Still a great price! Japeth made her bumper look brand new! And you can't see all the other chips and scratch touch-ups unless you get very, very close. Her car looks amazing! I can't rave enough about Japeth's work. Whether you are on a tight budget and can only afford the touch-up service like we did, or have more money to spend for a real repair like my mom did, Japeth is your guy! read more

Can't say enough great things about these guys. I initially spoke with the main dude Japheth, but since he was booked until the following week, he referred me to his colleague Paul, who did a flawless job as you can tell from the pics. After months of research, Touch Up Specialist had the best price and the shortest turnaround time while they also come to you. Don't let these traditional body shops tell you that ALL mobile body work businesses are no good because that definitely isn't the case for these dudes, who have been doing this for 30 years, and it shows. Also with Paul, after finishing the rear bumper, dude went the extra mile and painted minor chips around the car, which I really appreciated. Touch Up Specialist is now my go to. read more

I had a rock chip right on the corner of the door pillar. I had previously taken it to a detail shop who did a terrible job but it was sealed so I didn't care. Within a year it flaked off and started rusting. I'm glad I came across Japeth/touch up specialist. It looks perfect, I can't even tell the rock chip was ever there and my car is black, which is very hard to cover up. If you want the job done right don't bother going to anyone else! read more

I used the bumper repair couple months ago. Good communication and convenient service. Happy with the result.

GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! Very quick to respond to messaging. Unfortunately my job was a little larger and would need to be done in a paint shop. He gave me a referral. I know if I ever have a smaller repair, he will be the first I reach out to read more

Japheth was prompt, professional and precise with every single interaction I had. He returned my request for an estimate within minutes, scheduled a repair time, and came right to my home to fix up a series of scrapes and scratches- restoring my car to its factory look. His work is pristine and very competitively priced. I highly recommend his services to anyone seeking an honest reliable efficient and effective solution. Superb all around experience! read more

I'd never used one of these bumper repair businesses before. We bought a used car from a friend that needed some reconditioning, including dent and bumper repairs. I had a dent guy I've used for the past several years and when he was here he recommended Japeth. When I requested a quote, he asked for pictures and quickly replied with the price. His communication was outstanding and he arrived within minutes of his estimated arrival time. He comes from San Diego and I'm in Carlsbad, so traffic can be a real bear. The process was so convenient. He set up in my driveway and in about three hours, he was done! The bumper looks new again. I hope I don't need his services soon, but if I do, I wouldn't hesitate to use him again. I would also have no concerns recommending him to friends. If he's good enough for the Mercedes dealers, he's great for me. read more

Japheth did an amazing job on my car!

Quick response time. Thorough communication and exact punctuality. Jacob made everything easy by being up front and exact. He showed up exactly at the time he stated he'd arrive and was friendly. You can't tell where the damage to my vehicle was and he ensured to clean the affected area post paint correction. 10 out of 5 stars. read more

Excellent service and results! It really looks like nothing happened to our car. I scratched the right back area against the garage door trying to park it in one turn instead of a 3 point turn (husband was mad even though he didn't say it). See the before and after results. Japheth did an amazing job! Prompt, professional, and made it look like new! Plus, he responded with quotes right away. Hopefully we won't need to fix another big scratch but if we do, we're definitely going to use Touch Up Specialist for future services. Thanks Japheth! The husband isn't mad anymore :) read more

We had a small but important job to match a replacement tow hook cover to the existing painted bumper. Japheth responded quickly to a quote request on Yelp. He was able to come pick up the part from our house and then install the part on the car at my wife's office in a different part of town. The service was excellent, especially for such a small job, and Japheth kept me informed every step of the way. The paint matches perfectly and we are happy with the results. Happy customer starting with happy wife. read more

Japheth was amazing! He did magic. He was professional, timely and communicative. He was reasonable in his pricing and he was able to accommodate me for my needs. The color of the car was unique; it was a pearl white and he was able to match exactly that so it's well blended with the rest of the car. Throwing a couple of before and afters here to show how an awesome job he did. Thank you Japheth. read more

Repeat customer here! Once again, Japheth has worked miracles on what suddenly appeared as a strange paint defect on my black car. He said he thought it was a stain caused by bird poop, and after thinking about I realized he was right! Did some wet sanding and touch ups of that spot and several others for a reasonable price. His workmanship saved me from having to get the whole panel repainted. Whew! Before and after photos are attached. read more

This guy is awesome! Showed up to my house right on time. Sanded down, primed, painted, and top coat in about 2 and a half hours. I honestly didn't know what to expect but he mixed the paint right there on the spot. My car is a tri coat and he did it all. No shortcuts. I scratched my bumper against my garage one day. I tried ordering paint correcting pens but didn't trust myself with doing a good job after multiple attempts on paper. But I am extremely pleased with the paint job. Everything was even and even the pearl coat is even with the rest of the car. Thank you so much! But I hope I don't have to need your service anymore. But if I do I know who to call. read more

If you want the highest quality paint & color/repair for any paint related vehicle damage, make an appointment with Japheth! If you have a job where "paint" repair is all you need (i.e. no dent, ding, or body damage sustained), you won't find higher quality craftsmanship, reasonable job estimate, or better overall customer experience than Touch Up Specialist. I just had our minivan repaired from a fender bender in which the other driver had accidentally hit our vehicle. Attached are a few before & after photos of the damage and the subsequent repair. Japheth was up front on the estimate, was very communicative prior to our appointment with him, friendly upon arrival, and very professional. His mobile paint shop (i.e. truck) is very well maintained and organized, much more so than many body shops I've seen in town. All in all, not a single complaint, yet a ton of praise for his work, the time he took to do it, he's super duper efficient, and friendly on top of it all! Touch Up Specialist is a business we'll definitely use again if needed. read more

Japheth was responsive and did a great job fixing the deep scratch I had on my car. Thanks to him I was able to avoid costly repainting job that would have required painting an entire panel.

Japheth did a very good job on my vehicle. Firstly, he communicated with me right away after my initial request for quotes through Yelp. He scheduled me for a time that was at my convenience in my garage. He was on time and was patient enough for me to wait until my wife got back with the car after dropping off the kids. His website does a great job of explaining a lot of the questions someone has. We just had a touch-up job, and Japheth was very clear that a touch-up job is just that: a touch-up, and that if I wanted to get something that was absolutely perfect, I'd need to get a full-blown paint job. I was aware of that, but it was nice that he took the time to explain so my expectations weren't out of line what he could do. The price was reasonable and my car looks brand new. read more

I would give 6 stars if I could. Japheth is the best in town. Fair prices and great work. I seek to hit things way too much and he takes care of it and looks perfect every time ! Now if it could only not have to call him for a while ... guess better learn to drive better and stop having people hit my parked car. read more
