Great customer service. I talked to Jeff and he was able to get me in the next day. He made my car look brand new. Also saved me hundreds of dollars by going with him and not using a mobile dent repair service. Highly recommend his services!

Had a recent opportunity to use Swift appearance..quoted a reasonable price to tint my windows and take a couple dings out of my car. Very happy with both applications. First rate attention to detail, this shop has experience second to none.

I don't understand how they fixed this door ding.
And this was the mother of all door dings. Not a single trace of damage left. This is a great family owned business. The owner is kind and easy going. The shop is clean. They earned a life long customer. Work like this deserves recognition.
The owner may not remember me from previous encounters. But what really made a lasting impression was that I butt dialed him one evening on accident a while back. He called me back and half asleep he asked me, "are you okay?". There are only a handful of friends I know who'd do this for me. And as a stranger he took that time to check on a customer.

These guys are awesome and fast! Called them at about 2:30 this afternoon for a quote on a tiny ding, but on a weird spot, on the body line of my Yukon Denali. I called after being bailed on an appointment I had set up with another local paintless dent remover. I sent Swift a picture of my dent, and he said bring it down now and he’d have one of his guys on it! I wasn’t in the lounge for twenty minutes and he said it was done! Not only did he get me in right away but he beat the price I was quoted by the other guy! Super cool guys, I’ll be a customer for life!
