"This morning when you completed repairs to our 2006 RAV4, I was so impressed with the results I felt compelled to write ya an attaboy for the brilliant work you performed. After shuffling our cars around I left to get my wife’s morning latte. Upon my return I saw that you had already accessed the damaged area and had your tools and equipment out and ready to do battle. Being retired with nothing better than to watch other people work, I recognize I can be a nuisance, however this morning wasn’t the case. You answered my questions courteously explaining how the process works as you “worried” the dent out of existence leaving a pristine repair. You are truly an artisan and I am grateful to have found you and your services. I will heartily recommend your services to any and everybody seeking this kind of service. Keep up the good work and thanks again for your brilliant skills."

"I just wanted to take a moment to express my complete satisfaction with the service I received from The Ding Bats. Jason came out to do an estimate but was actually able to fit my repair into his schedule, which I greatly appreciated. I was extremely impressed with his thoroughness and absolutely blown away at the final results; the previous 3 dings are non-existent. I would not hesitate for a moment to recommend your services to friends, family. Heck, I'd recommend The Ding Bats to a perfect stranger."

"Well to say I'm pleased is an understatement!  I had a few dings on my Mercedes that I wanted removed but also had MANY on my "daily driver" Toyota Camry.  When Mike came out to do the work on the Mercedes this a.m. he took a look at the Camry too and gave me an unbelievable quote - SO much less than it would have cost had I gone to a body shop.  To say he did an incredible job is truly an understatement - I am amazed that both cars look brand new again!  He also found more on the Camry than we had originally talked about and did them at no extra charge.  He spent 3 hours here and is truly dedicated, and an expert at his profession.  You just don't find this quality of work and honesty anymore - I will be telling all my friends and family about this outstanding service and if I ever get "dinged" in the future, I know who I will be calling!  "Thank you" is just not adequate enough!"

"I’ve been wanting to write a testimonial for Mike and his amazing work (AND customer service) since the first time we’ve used him.  Mike has magically fixed a few door dings for us all on separate occasions (two on my car, one on my husband’s truck and get this….one huge baseball dent on my girlfriend’s car when she was swinging by to pick up her son at our house from a play-date!  Mike was there finishing up a door ding on my car and he quickly repaired the damage on her van while we visited in the kitchen!).  Not only does Mike perform flawless work (he’s obviously a perfectionist when it comes to his 'gift'), he is quick, efficient, and comes to YOU!  His wife is an absolute delight to work with also (she typically sets up scheduling).  I must say, this last 'ding' or shall I say, crumple, was a challenge and although the Ding Bat only repairs paint-less jobs, (and I had major paint missing) I called Mike anyway.  Something in my gut told me he could do it and get me hooked up with someone who could paint it, as well.  Low and behold, of course he came through with flying colors!!!  I didn’t have to take it to a body shop, Mike came out and repaired the horrible crunch FLAWLESSLY and connected me with a mobile paint service (Jason’s Mobile Auto Reconditioning) who also did an fantastic job (I need to go to Jason’s web site, as well!).  As a team, they did an OUTSTANDING job on my Honda, saved me tons of money and time and one cannot even tell there was horrible damage to my car.  I cannot say enough great things about the Ding Bat quality, efficiency and personal customer service.  Thank you, thank you, thank you...

"I was heartbroken when my 21 year old BMW got hit with a couple of big dents. Paint-less dent removal was critical on this job because no body shop could ever match up red paint  like this. Mike is an artist and a miracle worker. He removed the 2 huge dents that stretched across challenging body lines. One of the dents even went to the edge of the wheel well. The pictures show Mikes incredible talent. Thank you Mike for restoring my car back to it's original beauty. Mike is professional, talented, convenient and the only person you should call for your dings and dents. He honored his price quote and went the extra mile to make it perfect. I'll be his customer for life and I'll refer him to my friends."

"Mike, Your work on my 2006 Dodge Dakota today with the very noticeable dent on the rear door has me very please. I appreciate your taking care of my vehicle while you were onsite for my co-workers vehicle. Your extrememly fair fee for working out the dent on the door makes me appreciate your services while I was considering going to a body shop and easily paying for times what you quoted me. I am amazed at your dent removal techniques. I'm definately going to refer your services to friends and family and will go to you for my next need of dent removal on my vehicles. It was a pleasure to meet you. Thanks again

Mike and Louise,

"We wanted to say thank you for the wonderful job you did fixing the mustang. This was a huge dent, and neither of us knew what the threshold was for having a repair done in this manner. We both had expectations of what it might look like when you were finished. Let's just say that we were blown away. Your incredible attention to detail, and unbelievable patience is obvious in your work. You spent 5 1/2 hours on a job that you thought would take 3 and never charged us a penny more than your quote. You and Louise are wonderful people, and we would recommend your service to anyone!!! Again, thank you so very much. "

"Just wanted to send a note to say "thank you" for the service you provide, and at such a reasonable price. I am amazed that there is no evidence at all that a dent was ever there. I had not known that such a technique is possible.

In case you're interested, the way I came across your website was that it appeared on the right hand side of a Google results page when I was searching around for do-it-yourself ding repair kits. The kits to me looked very cheap and cheesy, and I would never try one of those and risk further damage, especially now that I know about the service you offer."

"My experience was a 10 from my initial contact with The Ding Bat Paintless Dent Removal team to the completion of the job.

My new Subaru Outback was dented by my 5 year old daughter with her bike.  I searched around on the internet and made a morning phone call to Mike.  I received a prompt and courteous return call back the same day.  Mike was informative and flexible.  We scheduled a time for him to come up to Portland to remove the large dent, and a couple smaller dings from my car.

Mike drove all the way up from Newberg to downtown Portland to where my car was parked in a large structure.  His van would not fit inside the structure; he had to park on the street.  Even though I agreed to have him charge me, he paid for his own parking. 

I felt so comfortable with Mike that I left him an extra set of keys.  He repaired my car to "perfection",  hid the keys and my invoice inside the car, locked it and incredibly called me back that evening to ask me if I was satisfied with his work.  You should have no doubt that Mike and the Ding Bat Paintless Dent Removal team is the best in the Northwest."


-Richard O'Dell, Portland, Oregon
 



"Due to a lack of attention, I drove my car into the garage doorway, denting a portion of the passenger door.  In addition, some wood fell onto my car in two separate areas.  I looked on the internet for a place that removed dents somewhere close to home, which is where I found The Ding Bat.

I liked the name and thought I'd give them a try.  My mechanic had said that many of the guys who do this are reputable, so I just left an email.

I was called back within 24 hours and Mike came out the next morning and worked on my car in my garage for 4 1/2 hours on 4 dents.  By 1:30, my car was looking great!  If I would have taken it to an auto body shop, I would have had to pay maybe 5 times what I paid Mike to do -- and it was done here at home.

I highly recommend Mike to anyone who has dents.  He does a great job.  It's obvious he cares about the quality of work that he performs."

- Roberta Michaels, Herb's Daughter Custom Soaps, Beaverton , Oregon
 



"We were amazed at the job that Mike did on our two cars.  We felt that one of the cars would not be too difficult but we had another individual tell us he could not repair it.  But Mike was able to repair the dent so that the car looked perfect again.  On the other car we thought we'd have to pay hundreds to get it repaired and Mike did it for an extremely reasonable price and the car looks great.  And he was a very sweet man to top it off!  Thank You!"

- Alison and Goce Josifoski,  Portland, Oregon
 



"Thanks Mike for job pulling the dent(s) out of my 2003 GMC Yukon yesterday at Intel.  This was the first time I had ever used your service or had a paintless dent removal company do work for me; my experience with you was Outstanding to say the least."

- Don Taylor, Intel-Ronier Campus , Hillsboro, Oregon
 



"Thanks so much for the great job repairing the dents in our Honda Civic. My husband was also pleased with the outcome. I was so impressed with the professional courteous service from the office to the field. Thanks also for waiting a few extra minutes for me to return to my house. I feel comfortable referring The Ding Bat to everybody I know! You are a firstrate friendly family operation!"

- Penny Olsson - Beaverton - Oregon
 



"Let me say how pleased I am with Mike's service and attention to detail. I have a vintage VW and although the paint was just fine, had many small dings and dents on the fenders and hoods. Mike and his crew arrived a day early, clearly explained the process and what I could expect and then proceeded to work their magic on my little bug. Mike was able to repair most of the car's issues within 2 hours, without effecting the paint. It looks 100% better at a fraction of the estimates I received from body shops and traditional repair methods that I was told would take up to 1 month to complete.

Thanks to everbody at "The Ding Bat" for your time, energy and wonderful service. "
