Fender Mender

Monte, at Fender Mender is outstanding ! He is honest, professional & offers excellent customer service. I had a front bumper accident & it was fixed to my satisfaction. As a resident of La Costa, for over 30 years Fender Mender is part of our trusted community.

I had little scratch and some scuff from cars at the parking lot. i decided to check with Fender Mender.
The guy asked me if I have a touch up paint which I did. He said it will be ready in 15 min and no charge. Thanks to Fender Mender, they touched up and buffed the scratch nicely.

Fender Mender delivered above what they promised; Friendly trustworthy, professional service. My car was ready and spotless when they promised. The insurance company tried to low ball the repairs but Fender Mender was thorough and walked them through the inspection. My car is like new!!! Thank you. Brian W.

I went in today to get an estimate for some scratches on my car. I had such a great experience. Donna at the front desk was really sweet and very personable. John helped me with my estimate and was also very nice and extremely helpful. They were very quick, provided awesome customer service, and I would definitely go back for future repairs!

I’ve had my car touched up a few times at this shop, and I’ve never been dissatisfied with the outcome. Fair pricing, and I can safely say that the people behind the desks are very genuine. You can’t beat the ol’ service with a smile.

Great service, even better people. Could not have been any happier. They were patient with me and made the process much easier than I ever would have imagined. Thanks John !!!

I was under a lot of stress, scratched my car and broke the front light. I came to Fender Mender in Encinitas .They gave me my car back looking like new again in 15 minutes and didn’t charge me for it. They ordered the light and installed it the next day with minimum expanse to me. Very friendly office, I felt like part of the family, they made me feel so much better, it gave me reassurance that there are still good people around. Highly recommend.

Horrible workmanship – would not honor warranty. Gave them over $ 20,000.00 worth of work. Would not fix the paint that was chipping off that was clearly covered under their warranty which would have cost them less than $ 1,000.00 to fix

Honest, capable, prompt, great service. Local ownership that cares, and service that saved me over $ 1,000 having shopped 3 other options for Caddy bumper damage.
Highly recommend.

Dealer had quoted a thousand dollars for the new Fender. Robert and fender menders fixed it for free. I brought him another car that the dealer it said it couldn’t be fixed and fix that one for 80 bucks. This
is a first class outfit

Fender Mender was recommended to me by a friend 30 years in the car business. I’m so happy for his recommendation as they did an excellent job on my car both inside and out. But that’s not all — they go the extra mile. They are not just a repair company they are people who care about their customers and work with your insurance to make the experience as smooth as possible. .
Much thanks to Monte, Robert and Donna for their diligence and assistance.

Jeff helped me with damage to my car caused by someone else. The other insurance was difficult to deal with, but Jeff handled it all for me. Then when the insurance tried to cut off my rental car Monte stepped in to help. The work done here is great and I was given personal attention every time I called. I highly recommend them.

EXCELLENT SERVICE. My son’s car needed repair and he is a deploying marine… so he doesn’t have a lot of time to deal with insurance and such. The guys at Fender Mender went above and beyond to simplify this whole ordeal! Would never consider using a different body shop in future!

Someone sideswiped my beloved Highlander — a hit and run. Having taken a previous car to Fender Mender, I knew they would be the best place to go and went there directly. I was still a bit shaken up from the accident, and the staff was so kind, supportive and helpful. They were nice enough to buff out what damage they could, and I was back on my way quickly.
Thanks for your excellent and professional service, Fender Mender!

My wife and I took her brand new BMW M4 on a road trip to Yellowstone this weekend. Along the way we stopped at a friends house who has a couple of very large overly friendly dogs. One of the dogs jumped up and put a few big scratches on the driver’s side door. Needless to say my wife was pissed (we don’t have kids so we keep our cars super clean.)
I had previously used Fender Mender to fix the rims on my Jaguar. They did a great job so I knew to call them as soon as they opened.
I called Fender Mender at 7:30 am and Monty answered. I told him what happened. He said bring the car by any time before 4 pm for an estimate. I took the car to get washed (along with scratches there were about a million dead bugs on the front of the car) and got to Fender Mender at about 9 am.
I walked in said I spoke to Monty. He said we should be able to buff that out. Have you ever been here before? I answered yes. He has one of the guys in the office and his detailer to look at the car. They said it could be buffed out and they would have it back in 10 minutes.
7 minutes later my wife’s car returns looking brand new again. I asked the guy (I wish I remembered his name) what the work costs and he said, «nothing.» That is right it cost me NOTHING! They took care of my wife’s car for no charge because I was a previous customer… and they did it faster than it took the guys across the street to wash it.
If you find yourself with a need for a body shop or if you drop your car off at the valet and they clip a cub and screw up your rims give these guys a call. They are fantastic!!!

Monty and the group do excellent work. I have taken at least 5 cars here over the past 35 years or more and always always super work. last Friday they dropped what they we doing to get my car drivable for the weekend… you can not beat that kind of support at 4:30 on a busy Friday afternoon. car will be back this week for repair but I had MY car for the weekend, thanks guys DAVID
Update — sorry forgot to do this sooner…
OK now for the body work and paint… again, great work and I cannot believe how much Monte and the team had to fight the other guys insurance company as well as finding the right parts. Honda messed up big time and again Monte and team were the saviors… again thanks.

Is this business for real? I brought my car in, which was recent victim of a motorcycle hit and run. I only have collision insurance and my insurance policy wouldn’t pay for it. The estimate I got here was $ 2,000, which is probably close to ¹⁄₃ of the worth of my car. The crew at Fender Mender reattached my bumper and popped out the dent for free because they felt bad for me.
Well, next time I need work done, I’m coming here again.

Fantastic business. I had a small ding in the back of my car after being run into in a parking lot. I called Fender Mender and they told me to bring it in, so I did later that day. Robert helped me out. He took a look at the damage, said he could fix it there on the spot, drove my car around back and about 15 minutes later had it back out front looking good as new. To top it off, they refused to charge me on account of it being «just a touch up.»
That’s the kind of business I want to support, and they now have a loyal customer in me. Hopefully I won’t find myself with more body damage, but if I do, Fender Mender is without a doubt where I’m going. Top notch! Great experience. Thanks guys!

Wow, these guys were awesome. I had a big dent in my bumper and was not happy with a junky looking bumper. Pulled in and asked for an estimate. A nice guy (no name) took my keys and pulled my car around the back. 15 minutes later it was fixed. To my absolute surprise the gentleman said «NO CHARGE». I was so shocked, I cried. People don’t do that stuff too much anymore. Boy was I ever happy, as I was leaving in the morning to meet my first grandchild who had just been born in the night. By the way nice guy did not know that! He just did it out of the goodness of his heart.
Being a veteran hairdresser I have now told at least 50 people about this company and I will come back every time I need them.
Thank you so much for your kindness, Fender Mender, it will not be forgotten.

They fixed my car’s butt.
Someone wasn’t paying attention and smacked my Mazda’s ass. Fortunately that someone had insurance.
Took it in to Fender Mender and they basically took it from there. Dealt personally with the insurance, kept to their word how long it would take and even stayed open a little later just so I could get there in time to pick up my car when it was finished.
My husband years ago also had some work done here and they did a fantastic job. His body work was for giggles but mine was a necessity. No one wants to go around with a saggy bent butt. Thanks to Fender Mender my Mazda doesn’t have to.
