Honest, Owner-Operated Dent Repair

Hey there, I'm Kevin Borden, the owner and PDR tech at Vanish. Here is who we are and why we do this.

Meet the owner

Hi, I’m Kevin.

I’m the owner and paintless dent repair tech at Vanish. When I’m not making dents disappear, I love praising Jesus and spending time with my family.

I started Vanish to give Central Valley drivers an honest, high-quality option for dent repair, one that saves them money and protects their factory paint. Every car that comes through the shop gets my full attention and care.

Our values

Honesty and Quality, For Real

Every business says honesty and quality. Not many seem to mean it. Vanish is different, and my customers will tell you the same.

Honesty First

If we cannot produce a high-quality job, we will tell you up front and point you to someone who can. We would rather lose a sale than do work we are not proud of.

Quality You Can See

Over 1,000 repairs and a 5.0 Google rating. We do not consider a dent finished until the reflection is clean and you cannot tell it was ever there.

Owner-Operated

You work directly with Kevin, not a call center or a rotating crew. The person quoting your car is the person fixing it.

Our story

Why I Started Vanish

When COVID hit in early 2020, the local car lot I had owned for over seven years suddenly hit a wall. In a single week, auction prices skyrocketed and availability dried up. I could no longer buy cars, and if I could not buy cars, I had nothing to sell to my customers.

I started thinking about new ways to provide for my family. My oldest son suggested I learn something called paintless dent repair. I had been in sales my whole life and had never done anything like it, but it seemed like a way to genuinely help people save money, so I went all in.

After a full year of online courses, YouTube tutorials, and in-person training, I could finally take out a dent. I started doing repairs for friends who were still in the car business, and eventually I opened my own shop. Several years and more than a thousand repairs later, I still love it.

Then my son came to me with another idea. He said, “The customers who come to you care about how their cars look, Dad. Why not offer them more?” So we added ceramic coatings, auto detailing, headlight restoration, and windshield chip repair.

That is our story so far. If you care about your car, call or text and we will set up a time that works. I would love to help.
