Body Shops in Essex, MD

“Funny story…I pressed the fender of my car up against a sturdy, hard plastic trash can while backing out of my garage, putting a large dent/crease right on the body line. Maybe the trash can was made of Vibranium, I don’t know. I took it to a couple of body shops that quoted me thousands of dollars, saying they needed to replace the fender completely and that the job would take at least a week to complete. 

Even though I’d had the car a little over a month, I was not thrilled by the idea of paying that much money for what was a cosmetic defect. I was just going to live with it. I reached out to a couple other PDR places and they all told me roughly the same thing - high quotes and long turnaround times. I read a ton of good reviews and testimonials about Paintless Dent Doctor. So I gave them a call. Stephen took a look at it, told me the damage was pretty significant but repairable, and gave me a really good quote for repair - a fraction of what the body shops were quoting me (I know that’s said a lot in these reviews, but it’s the truth). He also said the shop could have the repair done within two business days. I dropped my car off Monday morning, and had it back late Tuesday afternoon and it legit looks flawless.What struck me the most was that Stephen was very particular about his work as he assessed the damage. He wanted the finished product to be great, and I could tell that he’s someone who takes great pride in his craft. I feel that he was more particular about the quality of the work than I was, and not just about the pay. I think that’s what sets great craftsmen, technicians, and artists (a great PDR technician is also an artist, honestly) apart.You read a lot of reviews saying that a place is “the best in town” and all that, but I think it’s the truth with Paintless Dent Doctor. The whole process was really easy and really professional. And if I’m ever careless enough to damage my car by slowly driving it into a large stationary object again, I’ll definitely give them a call.”

“After a horrible experience with Al Packer Ford my insurance company sent me to Caliber Collision to have the car redone. What a fantastic experience and the car looks like brand new. Thank you so much and I would highly recommend them to everyone.”

“I got quotes from five other places but For Friends offered the best price by a long shot. They then went above and beyond to fix the damage on my vehicle and made it look better than new. I'll be using them in the future.”

“Best Auto body shop in Maryland. Car looks brand new after repairs, like it was never even in an accident. The office staff and estimators/adjusters are very knowledgeable and have no problem taking the time to explain any questions or concerns. They also have a full service mechanical shop right next door which is also top notch!”
