Ted Martelle has been reading dents and pushing them back out - without sanding, filling, or repainting a single panel - for over 30 years. Hail, door dings, creases other shops won't touch: if it's paintless-repairable, this is where the Bay Area brings it.
Not every dent needs the same answer. Here's the honest breakdown — including the times we'll point you somewhere else.
Not sure which one you need? Call (925) 922-2023 — we'll tell you straight, even if that means sending you elsewhere.
From a single parking-lot ding to a car that just sat through a hailstorm.
Access the backside of the panel, read the metal, massage it back to factory shape. No paint touched, no trace left.
Learn moreA car can take hundreds of dimples in one storm. We work the whole panel map, one dent at a time, until none remain.
Learn moreThe finishing pass after a repair — or a standalone refresh — so the car leaves looking like the day it left the lot.
Learn moreScuffs, cracks, and light impact damage corrected without a full bumper swap wherever the panel allows it.
Learn moreClouded, yellowed lenses machined back to clear — better night visibility and a sharper front end.
Learn moreCertified paint-protection film application that stops the next rock chip before it happens.
Learn moreSpecialized lighting reveals contours a naked eye misses — the true edge of a dent, its depth, and how the metal around it is holding tension. That map decides which tool, which angle, and which order the work happens in.
Hover the panel to see what "resolved" looks like.
Exotic paint finishes, aluminum panels, structural pillars — approvals from the manufacturers below aren't handed out for average work.
Specialized lighting maps every contour, depth, and stress point before a tool ever touches the panel.
Trim, liners, or interior panels come off to reach the backside of the damage wherever possible.
Metal is worked back to its original shape and tension — gradually, from the outside of the dent in.
Back under the light, checked against the original contour, until there's nothing left to find.
"I had a stubborn ding on my Urus's A-pillar — solid metal, no access from behind. One shop refused the job, another tried and couldn't finish it, and a body shop quoted me $5,000. Ted took it on and had it done in about half an hour. I've looked hard for that dent since and I can't find it."
Bring it to the shop, or have the team come to you at home, work, or the dealership.
