I can't believe how Eddie is able to move metal around! He is professional, friendly and most importantly a wizard... yes he'll preform magic on your car. Some how he was able to remove a really nasty door ding on the body line of my car. Awesome!

Eddie was amazing. Honest about what needed to be done and in reality what could be done for the dents and big scratch I had. Great value and great service. Car looks awesome.

Well deserved 5 stars! Came in about two weeks ago with my brand new black mazda that someone had slammed a car door into that morning. Eddie assessed the situation and said he can make it like it never happened. I scheduled an appt for the same day, and was beyond thrilled with the results. You cannot tell that my door was severely dinged with scratches. I have to do a double take just to find the location of where it was! Eddie is phenomenal and by far this is the best value for your money... when you get a ding. Thank you again Eddie for fitting me in that day, Im sure we will see each other again in the future!read more

I went in for an estimate of repairs. Eddie was very thorough in his assessment and explained the various options as well as the cost. He was unhurried and thoughtful. The quote was more than reasonable given the labor involved as well as the risk of further damage to the aluminum hood. Ultimately, I decided it's better to just drive this older model car without worrying about the cosmetics. However I will be going back if I ever decide to fix this car or another one!

Very honest, professional and friendly service. These days its been difficult to find trusted people in auto service. Went there for a dent repair on bumper, Eddie(owner) gave a honest estimate and ended up finishing work with less than the estimate. He is very customer friendly, easy to talk with for any suggestions. From my personal experience, don't go with the mobile dent service guys on internet as they cant match this quality of work. Definitely would go back and recommend for any auto... body repair service. Keep up the good work and great customer service.read more

Eddie did an amazing job!!! Had a dent from a shopping cart, I assume, and he repaired it you can not even notice it ever happened!! If you have a ding that is so annoying I would TOTALLY recommend him for the repair.

I unfortunately hit a carpeted pole in my garage and left a dent in my 2020 Volkswagen. Eddie explained the paintless dent removal process and quoted me at a great price for his level of expertise. I dropped my car off in the morning and it was ready to be picked up in a few hours. I could not tell that there was ever a dent and it looked like new again. Thanks again Eddie!

17:05 25 Feb 21

Eddie just repaired a large dent in my Honda and did a fantastic job. He is very skilled and professional and did his magic in a short amount of time. He repaired another dent in my bumper last year and I had the same experience. I highly recommend Eddie and will never go anywhere else! Great guy too!!!

Eddy fixed a serious dent (over 4 inches) on the right fender without repainting it. 3 other estimates from different places wanted to repaint not only the fender but part of hood to make a perfect color match. I am very happy with the result, it disappeared completely. I highly recommend him.

Eddie just finished up with my 2014 Audi A6 and I couldn’t be more pleased with the work he did. Not only did he fix the quarter panel dent that I filed a claim for, he went above and beyond to get out extra dents, scratches, chips in my windshield, and repainted my back bumper (a previous collision shop had a horrible paint match) to make the car look good as new. The one caveat I will mention is that it took longer than what I would’ve hoped but that can also be attributed to the various... moving parts (dealer recalibrations, etc) that we’re involved with the repair. Eddie is a very knowledgeable, personable, and informative PDR professional. He will thoroughly explain the extent of your damage and give you a reasonable, competitive price/estimate on the repair itself.read more

EXCEPTIONAL! Whatever Eddie says, LISTEN! If an estimate seems higher than you expected, ASK WHY (nicely) and he will explain. You will still be getting a bargain. Whatever Eddie charges, it is too little. I have been ripped off/disappointed/conned by so many body shops, I'd begun to give up on EVER finding an honest shop willing to do the work right. Eddie removed dents I was told were "impossible" to repair for a price that was a fraction of what other shops were asking--and at a fraction of... the labor he put into the job (he even built two custom tools to finish the job right!). Am I talking thousands? No, the price was in the hundreds--AN INCREDIBLE DEAL. But more importantly, it was done to the best of his ability, he explained what he could and couldn't do, and then overdelivered...and that makes Eddie beyond priceless in my book.read more

I trusted Dent Devils with my 2015 Audi and was absolutely amazed with the results. I would recommend their PDR practice without hesitation. Eddy is a true tradesman with an eye for detail that'll blow you away. Love your car, hate your dents, and scared of bondo? Dent Devils is my #1 choice for you.

Brought a Corvette in that I was considering purchasing from a private seller (he drove me there). I scheduled with the shop owner to do a paint/body inspection for any signs of collision repair. He used to do paint jobs for City Chevrolet cars and his expertise showed. Basically every panel had signs of repaint so I skipped on that buy.So glad I found this place. Anytime I shop for a used car I'll take it here for a pre-inspection.

I cannot say enough great things about Eddie and his business at Dent Devils Paintless Dent Removal. Getting in a car accident is stressful enough, let alone having to deal with the aftermath of everything that goes with that territory. Having Eddie manage my vehicle repairs ended up being a huge burden off my shoulders following my car accident.Thanks to Eddie and his superb attention to detail, my car was returned to me post repairs like it was brand new. He went above and beyond to make... sure all aspects of the car were repaired 100%, not just the easy-to-see cosmetics. In my case, Eddie spotted damages sustained to my car that were not picked up by the other dealership I initially went to, and as a result my car is in pristine shape again post-accident.In addition to everything done for my car, Eddie went above and beyond to help facilitate communication with my insurance claim, as well as took time to explain to me in layman's terms what needed to be done with my vehicle, the entire process, etc. He was very generous with his time spent speaking to me on all matters that concerned me with my car, insurance claim, etc, all while he was very busy managing his business.In short, I highly recommend Eddie/Dent Devils for any type of vehicle body repairs needed: He's awesome at what he does, and provides excellent customer service.read more

Eddie repaired hood dents in my 2011 BMW 328i and hood and door dents in my 2017 Honda CRV. On the dents where there was no permanent paint damage, the repairs are so good you can't tell where they were.

We have known Eddie for decades. His workmanship has always been top quality and detail oriented and his crew does not cut corners for an easy fix. They will repair the correct way to ensure quality and that it will last and look correct. Recently, The Dent Devils Paintless Dent Removal repair our mom's car from dents that occurred during an accident. The Dent Devils Paintless Dent Removal made sure it was done properly and was able to work with our insurance. If you want quality work...go to... The Dent Devils Paintless Dent Removal.read more

I've known Eddie for over 10 years. His knoledge of paintless ding/dentrepair is unmatched. He is also one of the best painters I've known. I'vebeen a serious car enthusiast all my life and will only take my cars to him.My MKIV Supra came to me with some "irregularities" and after hedid his magic on the car it won 1st place at a national event (Toyotafest).He did an equally wonderful job on my 300ZX twin turbo. I've also takenother cars to him and the results have always been phenomenal.... He'sprofessional in every way. He sets the bar, more than a body repair(paint or paintless) guy, he is an artist.read more

Eddie is excellent. He’s my go-to guy for any auto body work. His workmanship and service is unmatched. He’s saved me and my family thousands of dollars in insurance discounts. Insurance companies will try to get cars fixed at lowest price regardless of quality and workmanship. Eddie will advocate for you and make sure you don’t get ripped off.

Eddie, the owner of Dent Devils and his team do nothing short of Magic at their shop. I met Eddie while he was renovating the space. Even though the timing was not ideal and I needed a high level of work done, quickly, he delivered in a big way. I put my faith in him to bring my car back to life, having never met him before. He pushed his side projects to the back-burner and got right to it. The repair was flawless, his customer service outstanding and I gladly recommend Eddie and his team to... anyone in need of such a service in Southern California.read more

Eddie is probably the most thorough body shop owner in San Diego. When I got smashed into in the parking lot at Vons, I was worried that my Insurance company wouldn't pay to repair my car correctly. Eddie looked at the damage and assessed every part that would be required to reapair my car. With the attention to detail of an artist and the nuts and bolts knowledge of a car that has been passed down through generations he was able to come up with a very detailed, itemized list of the... required parts. He presented it to my insurer and kept me abreast of the process all the way.It was like I had a big brother looking out for me, having Eddie the Dent Devil by my side through the process and stress was the ultimate reassurance. In the end Everything was fixed TOP NOTCH! My car looked as good as they day I bought it. Thank you Eddie. Any time I have a friend or family member in a crash, there is only one place I go. The Dent Devils!!read more

If you have a dent, they can fix it. If you need body work, Eddie is good. People get what they pay for. Everyone tries to look for a deal that is cheap. I look for a repairman that is good. I never have to go back a second time with problems that way. Eddie is great.

Been there twice. Two times told my problem needs real body work. Not taking work because it is out of their capabilities - 10 of 10 will go again.Edit: 3 times. Still the best. Eddie treats you right

O.M.G, I am so happy I found The Dent Devils. My S 600 Mercedes acquired a dent in the door. I did not want a new car being filled with that auto body putty. I was told about The Dent Devils. I went and was told my car could be repaired without putting it in a shop or having to paint the door. In no time Eddie had fixed my door and you can not see anything wrong at all now. Its like "MAGIC".

I used this guys a while ago but they helped me out. Eddy the guy in charge is very knowledge about not only cars and insurance and the games they play. This place is quality and I think it worth people time to at least get a estimate from this guys. Let's just say if I have another dent I plan on having them fix it. They also fixed my windshield once and it look nice when they were done.

Just found my new goto place...I recently had a passenger open my car door into a pole, denting the edge door and chipping paint. Other places I tried to go to didn't want anything to do with it.Eddie was willing to give it a try where others wanted nothing of it. And he did a great job at the repair. I was in and out within 45 minutes and very satisfied with the repair. The price was well below what other places would normally charge for a dent repair job as well!

Chris Dye

Excellent work. Great customer service. I brought my car to the Dent Devils after it was dinged and scratched on both sides from being poorly handled during cross-country shipping. His assessments of the damage and how to proceed with repairs were spot-on. Dent/scratch repair was excellent - and the fenders are as straight as new. Eddie knows his stuff, and was aggressive with the shipping company's insurance appraiser when they played games with the estimate. I am completely satisfied... and will likely be a repeat customer.read more
