You Have to See the Dent in Order to Remove it

One of the single most important aspects for learning the basics of PDR is to properly “read the light”. Without proper light reading techniques and understanding how to read different light sources such as fog boards and portable ding lights, it would be difficult for you to perform quality work that would meet your satisfaction. Our training curriculum is designed to help you achieve the proper and correct vision technique to produce quality repairs.

Dent theory, tool selection and panel access are equally important and are all covered during your PDR training session. You’ll learn the importance of controlling the shape of the dent as the repair is being performed and will understand the simple ways to access damage with the proper tool. As a training aid, you will watch yourself in action as we utilize video taped sessions of you repairing damage to help illustrate the molecular changes that are taking place in the sheet metal.

This is precisely why we’ve structured our training to be conducted either one-on-one, or in a small group, with additional instructors on-site to insure you have plenty of personal instruction. We understand the frustration of learning something new and through our own life’s experiences of being trained ourselves in PDR; we will help you through those rough moments and lead by example, demonstrating PDR is a craft that you will learn.

Our goal is to teach you everything necessary for you to develop your speed and quality so you can become the best technician you can be. If you desire to learn the skills necessary to repair hail and the more complex damage your competition can’t repair, then you’re who we want to teach. Fixing small door dings is one thing; repairing the larger stretched metal dents and creases is another. Remember, practice does make perfect, so be sure to practice on a regular basis for great results.
