# Dent Time

> Dent Time is a paintless dent repair (PDR) company in San Diego County, founded in 2001 by Myke and Mary Toledo. Myke has repaired dents since 1991. We remove door dings, creases, large dents and hail damage without repainting, so the factory finish stays and nothing lands on the Carfax, and we also do mobile bumper repair and scratch repair. Repairs happen at your home or office anywhere in San Diego County and south Orange County, or at our shop in Escondido. Estimates start from photos of the damage.
