Dent Star
Dent repair isn't something you think about every day, but when you've got an unsightly ding or mashup on your car, truck, or motorcycle, you want it set straight. That's what we do at Dent Star. We're not part of a big chain, nor are we dent repair "gypsies" who may not be there for you when you have a problem.

We're a locally-owned business and we have a fully-equipped paintless dent repair (PDR) shop right here in central Austin. Dent repair is our art and passion, and we do it well. We also do motorcycle dent repair. Send us a picture of your dent for advice! People love our "send a pic" feature because they don't have to drive across town to get an expert opinion on the problem.
Services
At Dent Star, we believe in providing you an excellent value for your hard-earned money. And because our techniques are paintless, which means no time lost waiting for bondo, sanding, primer, paint, and topcoat, we're often the least expensive place in town. Dent Star is a mobile dent repair service!
If you have photos, please TEXT them to us at 281 960-7585. With two photos we can usually give you an expert opinion and a rough quote - without you driving across town! Since we don't have superhuman vision, we cannot quote anything without two photos of each dent! If you have this kind of job, please call Capital City Collision at 512 385-4567 and tell 'em you heard about them from Dent Star.!

I had a small marble sized relatively shallow dent on the quarter panel of my 2016 911 GTS. JT came and fixed it for a very modest price. I'm super happy with the end result, which in my opinion is flawless. He definitely made my day. He was also responsive and was able to come 1 day after we originally talked.

Just had JT do some work to repair extensive hail damage to my car. His work is outstanding- car looks brand new! I found him to be super professional, on time, friendly, and with a willingness to work with any situation or circumstance.
His considerable expertise and connections in this town make him all the more effective and capable to maintain impressively high quality results. I highly recommend him for any PDR work needed for any vehicle. Thank you so much JT!

He fixed a small dent in my motorcycle tank. It looks great!
He was early, did a great job, super cool guy to talk to, and it cost less than the quote he gave me. I highly recommend! 🍻

JT came out after hours and fixed me up.
Trustworthy, prompt and professional.

No nonsense and at a competitive price.
I won't hesitate to call him again.

A branch fell on my hood and dented it right at the crease, which looked very difficult to rectify. JT did an incredible job; he made the dent disappeared at. I would absolutely recommend going to him for any dent repairs.

Can't recommend JT highly enough. Fast, personable, and affordable. Fixed dings in my Porsche's door and the wife's SUV on the spot. Even went the extra mile and buffed out the door a bit to remove some deep scratches. Call him and get those dings fixed!

JT did amazing work, removing a crease from my wife's door, and dings from my Porsche's door. He was fast, courteous, and professional. We made an appointment for him to come out to our place and do the repairs (vs going into the shop), and he was on time and prompt. This is the guy you want to fix a dent. Can't recommend highly enough! Amazing work.

JT was amazing!!! He fixed my bumper in less than 45 minutes! For a fraction of the cost!
I was quoted over $1k to get my bumper fixed by another body shop & I just wanted IMPROVEMENT not perfection!

You CANT expect a bumper "ding" or "dent" to be 100% fixed if damage occurred!
I wanted it to look better! & he did that!

**There was frame damage BUT despite all of that he was able to make it look significantly better**

Thank you!!! Thank you!!!!

Oh my god. A true life saver. I would give a million stars if I could! JT saved me hundreds of dollars by fixing two horrid dents I put in a rental car. I'm currently unemployed and going to college, so I'm broke! His prices are amazing and broke-college-student friendly! Service was fast, priced generously, and the work was impeccable. He even sent me to a paint repair shop to fix the scratches. Thank you so much. My dents will always go to Dent Star!! I owe you my life!

JT is amazing! He is really experienced and love what he does. I bought my Lexus in for a nasty dent that is small that has been bugging me for awhile. He is fair at his pricing and very friendly. It took about an hour and I just watch and we chatted the whole time. After he fixed the dent, he saw a couple of small ones and he went ahead and also fixed those, he is a perfectionist so it is great for his customers.

Fast, friendly repair done right the first time. I had a tricky double-dent above the window of my beloved BRZ. I hope I don't need to return soon, but this is my first stop when I need it! It was also nice to patronize a small business run by a long-time Austinite.

I've watched JT work his magic on some pretty expensive cars for years & he just worked a nasty dent out of my Porsche 928.
He's honest about expectations, does not miss appointments & is very well priced.
I highly recommend JT for any metal work prior to taking your car to a body shop. He'll pull the metal back into place, reducing the amount of holes a body shop will drill & filler they use, reduce your overall repair bill & greatly improve the final product.

JT is a perfectionist, and the work he did on our two cars was outstanding. Moreover, no one is more straightforward and easy to work with. You cannot do better than JT at Dent Star. What a refreshing experience after dealings with mediocre, corner-cutting craftsmen .

JT does great dent repair work. I needed a medium sized dent fixed fast - might have been a scooter handlebar hit. JT offered me a very good estimate and was able to fit the work in that same evening. It took him about an hour and when he was done the dent had completely disappeared. No sign it was ever there! On top of doing super quality work at a great price, JT is a great guy, honest and easy to work with.

JT was very helpful and informative when I brought in my Mazda which had a dent on the front side panel and on the door. I was worried I'd have to replace the entire side, but he was able to get the car as good as new without having to replace any of the parts! I couldn't believe it. He was helpful and professional and turned the car around in 48 hours. Would highly recommend JT again!

VERY BAD BUSINESS!! I had an appointment at 11a.m to get a dent removed and J.T. never showed up. I called him and he never answered my calls. He finally called me back 2 hours later and was very disrespectful and rude even thou it was his fault he missed my appointment!! I wouldn't bring your business here unless you want to waste your time and get disrespected!!

JT did a great job. He responded quickly to my questions and was very flexible with my schedule.

There was a relatively large dent on the door and JT was able to fix it within 3 hours. Car door looked brand new. Definitely would recommend and would go back for future dents.

My car had a deep, starburst dent in it that JT immediately said could be problematic, but he would give it a shot. (Two other highly rated dent removal places in town wouldn't touch it.) My only other option was to take it to a body shop, so I asked JT to go ahead & try to fix it.

Although he wasn't able to completely take the dent out, it did look 90% better than it did when I took it in. Since he wasn't able to completely fix it, JT refused to accept any payment for it. Wow!

I would definitely recommend JT. He does good work and he is a very honest and dependable guy.

JT must be a magician. He made my two dents disappear. He's an artist, a perfectionist, and a professional. JT is a man of his word, charges a reasonable rate and stands by his work. He even drove me to work when I dropped off my car. He's the real deal.

JT was very helpful. He was nice and professional at the same time. I brought my 2015 A4 to have a tiny tiny dent removed and he did it in less than 15mins. I will come back with my husbands suv. Repeat customer for sure!

Above and beyond. This guy can do what other dent repairmen say is impossible, without repainting! Not only that, he is flexible and willing to provide you with transportation if need be. I had a door ding in an area that supposedly was impossible to get to due to the door brace being in the way. Dent star did such an excellent job that I could not even tell it had been dented in the first place- all within a few hours work. Highly recommended.

So JT fixed my Mercedes-Benz SLK 230 twice. He fixed a smaller dent in my right rear panel very well which was hit in a parking lot. It was the size of a football and had some deep scratches in the paint. It looks like it was never hit after he was done.

I also had a dent in the right front that was put there by the previous owner and her garage and I always meant to get it fixed. JT was going to fix it in March when I first brought it in but he couldn't because it was too cold and he was afraid it would further chip the paint where there was a crack in the paint. He suggested waiting until

This company was highly recommended to me by a trusted source and based on the outcome I now see why. My car was riddled with hail dents. After JT and company's hard work, it is once again in show room condition!! This man works wonders, and the price is right. He cares about his work, and he cares about his customers. It doesn't get any better than that!

Dent Star is efficient and effective. JT definitely knows what he is doing, and I was very pleased with his service. He is very accommodating and personable. For paint-less, cost effective, dent repair, it doesn't get any better than Dent Star.
