Don and his team did an amazing work! Brought in my car with some nasty hail dents for repair after an unfortunate hailstorm. Not only did they get the job done in one day, but they also took on the battle with the insurance for me and got the claim approved. Their customer service and satisfaction is top priority. The car looks like as nothing ever happened to it, they even took care of a small door ding for me. If you're looking for a trusted shop for paintless dent repair, give Dent Kraft a call.

To put it simply, the people at Dent Kraft are both amazing at what they do and have incredible customer service skills. I would wholeheartedly recommend this place. I brought in my Miata to fix a dent after a shovel fell on the car during the winter. The dent was pretty deep and in an odd location on the rear quarter panel. Despite the challenging work they were able to make it look good as new.

I brought in my car that I bought used with a strange long upward crease in the roof. I forgot the guy's name that evaluated it and did the work but his knowledge and experience with bending metal was extraordinary. The crease is impossible to see now, this was quite a trick on a dark car. Very happy with the price and service, and these are real car guys as well.

I had my first experience yesterday and today my second, since I was so impressed! They did such an amazing job, that the minute they were done with my SUV, I scheduled an appointment the next day for one of my cars. Clean, professional, timely, personable, and by far superior technique! 5+s

From out of town and in for just a couple of days. Drove by and decided to stop in and get an old door ding looked at that I hadn't had time to take care of, and I am glad I did! Troy was super helpful and got me in right away given that I was leaving the next day. Within an hour he got the dent repaired and it is flawless - I wouldn't even know where it was. Thanks so much Troy for the excellent work today and working around my schedule.
