Hello, my name is Eddie Martin and I am the owner/tech/PDR trainer of The Dent Devils. Since 1996, I was offering mobile service around San Diego. For the past 4 years in a row, I have received awards for the Best Mobile Paintless Dent Repair setup at the 2007, 2008, 2009 & 2010 Annual International Mobile Tech Expo in Florida. I now have a permanent location and my own shop because I felt like I was being held back in the craftsmanship that I strive to bring to each and every repair offered to my customers due to the limitations imposed on me by being a mobile Paintless Dent Removal technician. Now, having a permanent location and my own shop, I knew that many of the problems being faced by mobile companies, such as having to drill needless access holes to make dent repairs due to the extreme complexities of today's cars, would be eliminated if I built a shop dedicated to paintless dent repairs with things like car lifts and controlled lighting to name a few. I'm the first to agree that having someone come to your work or home offering a mobile service is very convenient. However, most people will agree that a quality job is worth spending a little more on. As we all know in these tough economic times, we'll be holding on to our cars longer.
I am excited to let you know my own shop @ 5644 Kearny Mesa Road, Suite J San Diego Ca. 92111 is up and running. As always, your needs come first and I want to better serve all my customers. So it is recommended that you call or text to set up an appointment. I look forward to being of service to you and your car.
I have been in the body and paint field repairing high-end cars in San Diego County for over 23 years. The Dent Devils is highly respected in the industry. Most insurance companies and the Better Business Bureau have given me top recommendations. Make sure you check out my testimonials and the write-up in the 2008 January/February issue of Mobile-Tech News.

SAN DIEGO WEEKLY READER BEST BUYS By Eve Kelly Oct. 14, 2009
Unlike other body shops, dealerships, detail shops, and bumper companies located in San Diego that only subcontract out Paintless Dent Repairs, all of the work on your vehicle will be done by myself. I have 26 years experience as a Certified Master Tech. You will not be paying needless markups or risking damage to your vehicle by having a new, inexperienced tech "practicing" on your car. My shop works with other highly-trained experts in all facets of collision repair, such as color sanding and polishing your scratches, overspray removal, removing big dents to little door dings, creases, hail damage, custom painting and body work, and all types of bumper damage and wheel damage (scuffs, scrapes, and road rash). We also repair or can replace windshields that may have stone chips, stars, spider cracks, or long cracks. Choosing trusted, reputable companies like The Dent Devils can save you thousands of dollars off what others may charge you and will keep you from needing to have things redone. Let me help reduce your stress and let me take care of your dent repairs the first time around and at a fair price!
If you need help with your first tiny little door ding or a larger dent, lease return or just want to restore your investment with a face lift, drop by The Dent Devils PDR shop today for a free evaluation to see if your car is a good candidate for Paintless Dent Removal or if it can be done with a combination of PDR and conventional repairs. As an alternative, submit your online estimate request with pictures to me today via e-mail or cell phone.
Sincerely, Eddie Martin
The Dent Devils Paintless Repair and PDR Training Shop as it progresses along:
PT cruiser left 1/4 easy access
BMW right 1/4
Merces-Benz right fender
This car arrived to us with a very sharp dent that traveled over both body lines and the top of trunk, making this a much ridged area to work. The process had to move at a very slow pace in order to avoid cracking any paint. Notice that the whole trunk had to be de-trimmed for us to have proper access.
The aluminum fender had a very sharp crown, with a crease from top to bottom and over the edge. The owner said that when he took to a body shop they wanted to replace the whole fender.
If you look close the damage goes over the edge into a double walled structural area. I know if any other company tried this repair they would have drilled the door jamb area and wheel well area for access. Instead I pulled the interior for access.
Repair time was around 8 hrs. If this car had been steel the repair time would have taken 4 to 5 hrs instead.
BMW SUV:
The idea behind the “Push for Paint Repair / Ruff Out” is to give you an option on damage that is too bad to be fully restored with the Paintless Dent Repair process alone. But with the help of The Dent Devils & a mobile painter or body shop at a later date they can use a lighter coat of body filler & or just prime then block sand before painting. This helps eliminate the need to replace panels, using excess body fillers or having to blend the adjacent panels in some cases. (I’m am not worrying about cracking the paint on these jobs only reshaping the metal as it takes more time when you are not cracking the paint)
Is say you have a very deep/ stretched ding, dent or some other damage that cannot be made perfect with PDR. I can go in and take some of the ugly out of it but being more careful not to crack the paint because you are not going to have it painted but cannot afford to have a body shop or mobile painter finish or the car is just not worth putting much into.
