The Bumper Zone

Holy crap. Okay, I’m usually far more refined and much more eloquent in my review openings, but after what I saw Gene do today in such a short amount of time (for my bumper) I can honestly say that my mind has been blown.
This guy is not only incredibly professional, incredibly punctual, incredibly price sensitive, but he has a personality that makes you want to work with him. He’s kind, he’s informative, he has amazing energy and he’s really really good at what he does. (He’s been in this biz for 12 yrs and before that he was a professional painter for 36 yrs).
We started a dialogue earlier in the week and by the weekend he had already picked up the paint, come to my place, and completed a job that is nothing short of perfect. I got the same job priced out by a local body shop and it was four times the cost of what I paid Gene today.
I am beyond impressed with his work and his professionalism and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone I know. In fact, in the short time that we spent together, my mom, sister and best friend all decided they needed to have their bumpers retouched as well.
The photo pretty much speaks volumes. Thanks, Gene. You rock!

I recently had both the front and rear bumper on my 2008 BMW repainted. After many year of parking in SF the bumpers were pretty chewed up. Gene did a great job. He was able to fix the damaged portions and blend in the paint for a perfect match. The bumpers are smooth and the new coat of paint looks nice and shinny. The cost is a fraction of what an auto body shops would charge and he did his work in our driveway. It only took him a few hours vs leaving it for a few days at the shop. The bumper looks like new. Gene takes his time and does great work.
I also had him restore the headlight on my minivan. They were yellow and all fogged up. They now look like new. Gene first cleans (sand/​buff) the lenses and then reseals them. This should last many years and he warranties his work.

If you are looking for an honest guy to work on your car, you got to call «Gene «
Gene came over and spent over 2:30 on my car. Rather than
» re spray «my bumper, Gene told me it is best he touch up the paint given the
Slight repair needed on the car
I probably would have resprayed my bumper if Gene recommended the respray
This just tells you the integrity and honesty this man has for his profession !
Gene is also a «salt and pepper «type of guy. Genes love cars like me and we talk for a bit
about just cars in general. Of course Gene did a great job on the polish and touch up
Don’t go anywhere else if you want a truly great guy who know his business
work on your car.

Had Gene back out to do a headlight restore on my wife’s car. He adds a layer of clear to protect them. Excellent job once again. Can’t recommend him enough.

What a great guy Gene is, salt of the earth type, honest, hard working and good at his work. So much better than most of these types of guys with little experience and lower interest in quality. He did my two cars, gave me a quote and a fair price, then came back over 2 days to do them both to a very high standard. He went above and beyond to find and fix a few other issues and didn’t charge me extra! Prompt, good communication, good value. It doesn’t get better than that.

After biting my nails and swearing in my head about 5000 times over a paint chip on my rear bumper, I finally began to do a bit of research.
Thankfully I came across Gene’s rave reviews on Unilocal.I was a bit reluctant at first as the work just seemed too good, but truthfully, the crowd had spoked — his work is amazing.
I called him and sent over a few pictures of the damage. Within a few days he was able to swing by and repair my car while at work. The repair looks good as new and Gene is an all around great guy to chat with. Highly recommended!

Glen is amazing. I had paint damage on both the front and rear bumpers of my Highlander. Glen came to my house and made both bumpers look like new in 3 hours at a very reasonable price. Now my 9 year old SUV is beautiful again. In addition, Glen is a really nice guy.
In the photo of the back bumper, the black streaks look like tar on the bumper, but they’re not. They’re scrapes in the paint that have been there for a while.

Gene exceeded all expectations. I was prepared for good paint work from a mobile paint service, but I got results that a full-​on body shop would envy. Best of all, Gene is insanely proud of his quality and devotes himself to the little details that create that extra performance edge. His prices are very reasonable, and he is a pleasure to work with. This is THE GUY for mobile paint repair.

Gene does great work. He just completed two projects for me — a bumper fix and a headlight restoration and both look fantastic. He’s a real professional who knows his stuff. And a heck of a nice guy as well. Highly recommended!

Car: 2012 BMW 328i (Mineral Grey)
I damaged the front left side of my BMW. There were several white paint streaks and the bumper was torn in two. I also had tons of scratches on my rear bumper (when I bought the car CPO).
Full body shop estimates ran around $ 1300-​$ 1500. Gene turned this into a pleasant $ 350 experience.
He showed up promptly to look at the damage and provide an estimate. On the day of repairs, he showed up 30 minutes early and got to work promptly. It was fun to see him look up the color of my car and then mix component paints to get the exact color.
He was done within 2 hours of starting. Both bumpers look brand new (i’ll upload before and after pictures soon).
I can’t recommend him highly enough.

Gene is awesome! Honest, dependable, and does the job right. He works with high integrity and it shows in the quality of his work.

Gene is the man… very trust worthy and professional. Worked on my 2013 nissan altimas back bumper which had numerous nicks and scratches and even a couple of licence plate screw holes from parking in the city.
Gene refinished it to look like new. I was very happy with the results so much so I asked him to work on my 325i as well. I’d recommend him to anyone who needs bumper work.

Had to use Gene again to fix my front bumper this time. Gene is the best around, you can’t go wrong with him.

Wonderful. He magically turned a $ 1000 «replace the whole damned bumper for 2 scratches» repair into a $ 300 «just fix the scratches» repair. Best part is that I get to retain all of that valuable factory paint on the bumper, as well as the original part. And since he works onsite, there’s very limited downtime for the car. Very satisfied.
I’ll add as well that even though there was a bit of «puncture» in addition to the scratches, he knew what to do and fixed it perfectly.

Gene at the Bumper Zone is truly a genie (no pun intended)! I have a 2015 Grand Caravan and 2 days off the lot I misjudged and ended up scratching the rear bumper. I found Gene through Unilocal,gave him a call, he scheduled an appt, arrived 15min early an got right to work. 2 ½hours later I had a pristine bumper for a highly affordable price! You can’t even tell that my bumper was scratched, he matched the paint, and brought my brand new van back to its original state! I would recommend Gene for all of your bumper needs! I’m trying to upload a picture, but it’s not letting me.

My wife’s MB had a huge dent at the corner of the front bumper, and it looked terrible. A friend of mine told me to call Genie the owner/​technician of The Bumper Zone, he give me a very fair estimate. Gene showed up at my house on time and repair the damage within 2 hours, wow! It looks excellent. I am so happy that I don’t have to drop the car off to a body repair shop, getting a rental, it was so convenient, saved me a lot of time and effort. Throughout the years I have met many auto body repair specialists, Gens is a down to earth person, I would recommend him to everyone, not just because he does excellent work, it’s about a good person, a man that cares.

I found Gene through Unilocal and he lived up to the expectations generated by his business’ flawless reviews.
I ran over a curb and scratched the bottom of my front bumper a few weeks ago. All body repair shops I consulted asked for several hundred dollars to fix the problem, and several days to do the job.
I called Gene up and he gave me a quote after I sent him a couple of iPhone pictures of the damage. His cost was a fraction of what the body repair shops wanted and he could do the work in a couple of hours.
I made an appointment with him: he showed up as scheduled, completed the work as promised on time and on budget. And the bumper looks as good as new — impossible to tell it was even scratched up. Terrific experience from beginning to end.

Gene is the man. Had a minor fender bender that blemished the center of my otherwise clean bumper that repair shops were asking
Rediculus is amours to fix. Sent Gene photos and he quoted me a reasonable amount to cure my issues. He came out and did what he said he would for the price he agreed to. The man is a heinous with paint and a little filler… When he was all done, I couldn’t tell where the damage had been. I have added him to my contacts just in case I end up in another situation. He is awesome…

Found Gene through a Google search and Unilocal reviews. So glad I contacted him!
Roughly two weeks ago, this guy decided to use my bumper as a marker to stop his truck in a parking spot; leaving a nice gash from his license plate frame bolts on my flawless 2004 BMW M3 bumper.
I spent two weeks contemplating whether or not to spend the $ 500 deductible to have a body shop complete this repair; worried about having them remove the entire bumper, sand down, spray and reattach to the vehicle (including parking sensors)…worried about paint/​finish not matching, rattling, parking sensor issues, etc.
Then I found Gene. With so many great reviews, what was there to lose? Worst case scenario, I’d just have to find a really cool bumper sticker.
Gene was professional from the get go. Great communication, gave me an estimate after I emailed him pictures of my bumper, was scheduled within a week’s time and the entire job took no more than 1.5 hours!
Results are phenomenal! Thank you Gene for returning my garage queen back to its glory!
Will definitely refer Gene to anyone in need of bumper repair, curb rash, etc. Price is VERY reasonable.

I am convinced that Gene is a magician specializing in permanent dent and scratch disappearances!
Seriously, he is very skilled in every facet of his profession. He’s honest, timely, fair, detailed oriented, and delivers exceptional work! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I’m glad I found him through Unilocal and was able to have him perform the work i needed. I’ll try and upload some pictures of my 2013 silver Prius bumper work.
Thanks
