John gives us an inside look at the benefits of paintless dent removal and why it has become the preferred method for repairing dents and dings on vehicles. Paintless dent removal involves massaging dents out from behind the body panels using specialized tools, allowing the metal to be reshaped without harming the vehicle's factory finish. This avoids the need for sanding, fillers, paints, or chemicals. John explains how this makes the process much faster, more affordable, and environmentally friendly compared to traditional body shop repairs that require repainting. At Dent Academy, they are dedicated to training the next generation of PDR technicians. John discusses their hands-on curriculum, state of the art training facility, and how they work directly with industry partners to keep their courses relevant. Students learn the latest techniques and have a chance to hone their skills before entering the workforce. John also provides tips for consumers to look for when choosing a PDR provider, key questions to ask, what to expect from the repair process, and how to maintain your car's finish. He stresses the importance of choosing a properly trained technician, not just the cheapest option. Overall, it's a great chance to learn from a true expert about the advantages of paintless dent removal and what sets Dent Academy apart in training the technicians of tomorrow.
