PDR - " Paintless Dent Repair "

What is PAINTLESS DENT REPAIR?

A) Paintless Dent Repair is the process of removing minor dents and dings using a special process and tools.

Many people are becoming aware of the massive opportunity presented
with the new alternative to traditional body repair. Those who discover the process and
implement it first in their area profit the most, as they tend to seek out and find the large automotive customer base that needs this service.

PDR was first developed on the Mercedes Benz factory lines in the late 1940's and then tweaked and introduced to the general market in the early 1980's (Source: www.paintlessdentrepairtricks.com). After a few entrepreneurs took hold of the process word soon spread of the "magical process" and PDR Technicians began sprouting up across the globe.

We're only as good as our last student...

In the 1990's more technicians came into the market, and soon thereafter, better tools were developed to accomodate the increase in EPA/DPT regulations for side impact bracing in autos.

Now, even with the popularity of PDR, there still is a dramatic shortage of qualified PDR Technicians, and an even more dramatic shortage of skilled PDR Technicians, creating a wealth of opportunity for the creative minded entrepreneur seeking an excellent business opportunity.

PDR Tech life

PDR is an art, and requires practice to fully master the technique. Due to the dedication required, "get rich quick" minded individuals are naturally weeded out and only the career minded individuals succeed. Typical PDR Businesses can service a wide array of customers including, but not limited to:

Auto Dealers, retail customers (general public), rental agencies, fleet accounts, city/county vehicles, bodyshops, auto auctions, and more.

Due to the portable nature of PDR, it is best to forego overhead and pass on a fixed location, but rather service customers on a mobile basis. This keeps overhead near zero and produces excellent profit margins.

What kind of income can I expect witha PDR biz?

Some PDR services will use a retail location for private customers, providing the area chosen is ideal for such an operation.
