Description

I am writing to formally report a fraudulent auto dent repair incident involving an individual named Barry, who claimed to be Tesla certified. The incident took place in Fairfax County, Virginia on May 7th, 2025. Barry approached me o?ering dent repair services under what appeared to be a legitimate business, possibly using the name “Dent Repair” or DMV AUTOBODY REPAIR. He claimed to be trained and certified by Tesla to perform paint repair. Based on his claims, I agreed to the service and paid him in cash,$400 after negotiating. He initially quoted $950. However, the repair was done improperly and caused damage to my vehicle. I asked Barry what about all the extra paint on the car and he said take it to Car Wash and it will come o?. If it doesn’t, call me and I will take care of it. When I texted him that extra paint didn’t come o? after the wash and the paint itself is very rough, he didn’t respond and blocked me. It is clear that Barry is running a fraudulent business. Please look into it so he doesn’t scam others. Thanks!
