Mike is one of those craftsmen that seem to be a rarity these days. He was extremely knowledgeable in his craft and has over thirty years of experience. He was very enjoyable to talk with while he worked and used top of the line equipment, taking time to explain to me what he was doing as I am na�ve when it comes to cars. He was very accommodating regarding scheduling and his wife was friendly to speak with when setting up an appointment. Mike gave me an affordable price and also fixed some additional little dents free of charge. The dent I had was pretty large and was in a pretty trick place, so I was overjoyed when he fixed it without having to do any major alterations.I can t praise him and his work enough.

I recently used "The Ding Bat" to remove dents in two of my vehicles. When I pulled up, Mike, guided me into his shop. The space is super clean and tidy. He quickly got down to business and started to begin the repair. He removed a few parts and exposed the access points to where he would use specialized tools to massage and finesse the metal back into its near original form. He expertly removed the dent and no painting was required.When he finished my Accord, I went to get my Mada3 and he repeated the process.Mike is a super cool cat and I really liked his professionalism. Great guy and superior service, get a dent fixed here, I did, and would again!Well worth the savings vs traditional body and paint. Accord fix (Dingbat-$350. / Bodyshop quote-$2300.)

Mike is a man with great craftsmanship. He did amazing work on the dent I had on the bed of my brand new truck. The work looks terrific, and you can't tell the dent was there whatsoever. The job was done in less than an hour and at a very fair price. I HIGHLY recommend and will be a repeat customer.

Mike met us at his shop on short notice and had the dent removed from our Honda CR-V lift-gate in less than an hour. Perfect job, no sign of the previous damage and done at a very reasonable price. We highly recommend Mike's work and he and his wife Louise couldn't have been nicer while we were at his shop. Go to the best, The Ding Bat Paintless Dent Removal.

Mike exceeded my expectations and then some. He got a pretty gnarly sized dent from the previous owner out of my 2016 Jeep Wrangler. You literally can't even tell the dent was there and I'm very, very happy about it!Anyways, I'll definitely be using Mike for any and all of my PDR needs in the future, and I'll definitely be referring him to everyone I know.Nice guy, top quality work, and great business!

Fantastic service, excellent work! I had a small dent in the hood of my brand new aluminum truck. I called the ding bat in the morning and was able to have the dent removed later that same afternoon. Mike, aka The Ding Bat was very friendly and beyond accommodating by fitting my repair into his busy schedule on short notice the same day. The work he performed was top notch - as if it never happened. Highly recommend!

Mike called ahead to make sure it was ok to arrive at my house hours earlier than originally expected, did an amazing job, fixed more dings then we had originally discussed, charged less than the original quote, and was a joy to be around. He was very considerate and practiced social distance while wearing a mask the entire time. This man goes above and beyond, my vehicles look amazing, the dings are gone and he polished the areas he repaired too! I highly recommend Mike and The Dingbat to anyone who wants there dings removed beyond detection. Awesome experience!

I accidentally dented my husband s new car. Mike wasn t sure he could make it perfect again because of the placement of the dent and the depth of it. He was able to make so much better, I can t see where it was and my husband was pleased with how it turned out. Thank you for the responsive and quick fix. Absolutely worth the reasonable price!

Excellent job! Mike met with me during non business hours to give me an estimate. He let me bring my rig in at my convenience, and got the job done in an hour and a half! He did amazing work and also removed a ding free of charge. My rig is black, and I don"t any evidence of previous damage. 100% recommend!

I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome of this repair. I backed into my car bumper with my Avalanche door, and it caused a large dent with a crease at mid door and bottom as well. The pic doesn't look as ugly as it was. Mike was super nice, and worked it to near perfection. Well deserved 5 star ranking.

I never thought the multitude of dents left on my car by careless "car owners" could be removed, without paying a kings fortune. Mike restored my car to a condition that was better than when I purchased it. Despite the difficult panels on my vehicle, he did amazing and the price was beyond reasonable.

This guy is fantastic. He's honest and up front about what he can and can't do. I was thrilled at how well he could work the aluminum body of my 2017 F-150. He doesn't love aluminum because apparently it's much harder to deal work with and repair. He wasn't optimistic about completely removing my dings yet still got them a good 99% out. For the price and outcome I couldn't be more thrilled. I highly recommend him.

Has a lot of pride in his work. A master of his craft. Gave me a "discount" because the finished product wasn't absolutely perfect. I literally could not see a single flaw in the work, but he could. Apparently my car was tough to work on due to the double metal lining on the inside. He drilled in through my rear wheel well to fix the dent (near the gas cap area), then plugged the hole. Saw me same day as I called, and took less than an hour. Looks perfect, and I am meticulous about my cars. An honest guy too. Would recommend 100%. You can tell this guy knows what he's talking about and has been in the business for a while. Mobile service too!

Mike came out to our home and fixed dents in both our Toyota Tundra and Volvo XC60. He did such an amazing job that both vehicles look brand new! We are so happy with the work and would highly recommend him. Thanks again Mike! Ron & Ren�, Turner, OR.

I can't recommend Mike highly enough. He has worked his magic now on two of my Dodge service rigs, and the results were nearly miraculous. Both repairs were for major creases in side panels. He made them like new and also removed numerous other dings and dents. I was extremely pleased. Six stars.

I certainly couldn't have asked for a more professional outcome than what I received when hiring Mike. I had a low grade parking lot mishap leaving two doors damaged . I note that two other "shops" were more than happy to include paint finishings claiming that the work that I needed was impossible to do without extensive costly repairs. Mike was able to evaluate and perform his magic without hesitation or reservation.He's knowledgable, timely, courteous and reasonable. Pleasure meeting him and the results of his artistry shall be appreciated for a long time to come.

I had a dent on my previously perfect minivan due to a child throwing a heavy toy onto the roof. It was in a spot that many paintless guys would have had to disassemble the whole headliner, and then some, to get at it. Somehow, through some miracle he took the dent out completely from the outside. He really spent a LONG time on it to make it perfect; now it's like it never happened. Lots of pride in workmanship. I feel blessed to have found them.

I had some small dents on a pickup box and small wrinkles on a front fender. Granted, none of them were big, but I wasn t expecting the results to be as good as they were, especially on the wrinkles. There is absolutely no indication that they were ever there! I couldn t be more pleased with Mike's work. Money well spent!

Jason did a great job on my car. He took out a dozen or more dings and it looks like new. There are no traces of the prior damage. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone.

While cleaning out my garage, I strategically placed my husband's golf bag and caddy in the optimal position for maximum damage should the inevitable happen: I bump it and send it toppling over onto the side of my neighbor's beautiful Toyota Camry. You guessed it, the inevitable happened and believe it or not, that golf bag/weapon left a quarter size dent along with about a 6" scratch. It looked like a comet streaking through the sky announcing "you're about to pay out the big bucks, idiot! Way to go!" Needless to say I was bummed. My husband came to my aid and found The Ding Bat Paintless Dent Removal online. Their reviews looked good so we gave them a call. Long story longer, they came out when they said they would, were totally professional and courteous, and ((dramatic pause)) they did an amazing job on the car!! It was like it never happened. My neighbor was delighted AND it was significantly less expensive than if we had filed a claim through our insurance. I will definitely recommend them to anyone who needs dent repair!
