Old Town San Diego’s tourist traffic, State Historic Park, and tight parking areas make door dings and parking lot dents a frequent issue for visitors and residents alike.
Dent Time serves Old Town with mobile service throughout the area and a full shop facility in Escondido for more complex work.
Remove door dings and minor dents without repainting. Your factory finish stays completely intact, preserving your vehicle’s value and original appearance.

For most dents Old Town drivers encounter — door dings in parking lots, shopping cart hits, minor impacts — paintless dent repair is the smarter choice. It costs roughly one-third what a body shop charges, takes hours instead of days, and keeps your original factory paint completely untouched. PDR leaves no Carfax record and preserves your vehicle’s resale value.
Old Town’s State Historic Park draws massive tourist traffic daily — packed lots adjacent to the historic district see constant vehicle contact. The restaurants and shops on San Diego Avenue overflow their parking into neighborhood streets where door dings are common.
Paintless dent repair uses specialized tools to work the metal back to its original shape from behind the panel — no sanding, no filler, no repainting. A trained technician accesses the dent through existing openings and uses precision pressure and high-intensity lighting to restore the surface to factory condition. The result is invisible, because the original paint was never disturbed.
Dent Time’s mobile technicians serve Old Town, Mission Hills, Fashion Valley, and the Old Town Transit Center area. They come to your home, your office, or wherever your vehicle is. For larger jobs, hail damage, or work requiring optimal lighting and full tool access, the Escondido shop delivers a flawless result.
