I came to yelp in search of someone to help to get a little dent out of my passengers side door and got almost an immediate response from the owner Senkosol. From the beginning he gave me a fair quote and offered to get me into the shop within a few days. From the beginning I was greeted by one of the workers who almost immediately started to work on my vehicle. 15 minutes later and my dent was pulled. With the fair reasonable quote and quick work of being in and out of the shop within 30 minutes i would definitely recommend getting any dent work performed at this business.

If there is a no star rating option, I would choose that. Total waste of my time. I called and exchanged communication knowing Ros (the business owner) can fix my Audi Q3 2018 (part of the info I provided) and when he checked (on mobile service) he said he can't or no experience with Audis. I sent pictures prior to and confirmed he can fix Audis. He was even 20 minutes late because he has to accommodate a walk-in" customer VS. me with an appointment! Don't even. Totally unprofessional! I'm saving you time and sanity.

No t, professional people there don't have a clue for good customers service
I had an appointment nobody knew it . Some lost girl asked questions about the details of my new 2020 SUV, and she didn't even know what to ask ? place looks terrible dirty and they don't give you a written estimate just a "let me think " and let me call the owner who was still sleeping at home,that's not how you supposed to handle business,Not recommended

Awesome service, fair pricing and honest work. The owner was transparent and easy to work with via the "get a quote through yelp." They are a little difficult to find as they are tucked in the back of the lot, but their work is worth it.

Finally got around to searching for a place to fix up a pretty gnarly dent on the driver side door. It was not only dented, but paint was scratched as well since I scraped alongside a metal pole, oops. I got a few quotes from other places and could not believe how expensive it was, it didnt seem worth it to me. One last time, I found DentFinish SD online and found out I could get a quote via text after providing some simple photos of the damage. I was impressed with how affordable it was, and later that week I brought my car in and it was done in 4 days. Good as new. If anyone else out there hits
