A-1 Tools | Stanliner | ULTRAHello, my name is Michael Acevedo and I have been in the automotive industry since 2007. I started my career as a auto detailer for Dent Tech Luxury Auto Spa and worked at an Infiniti dealership which was one of their detail facilities. There I learned to care for cars and became very meticulous about how I handle these vehicles. A few years later I asked my then boss to teach me PDR. He agreed and in 2010 I went along with him to a hail storm. There I learned to R&I vehicles for him and his hail partner. While they would repair the hail cars, I would practice on hoods the insurance company decided to replace. I took complete advantage of my situation and worked on many hoods that summer. After the storm I tagged along with some of his route techs. I did that for the fall and winter and by the spring I was out on the road alone in my own truck. I have learned so much from the PDR industry during those 9 years. I can now repair large damage, hail, acorns and of course door dings. Recently I left the company I worked for and started my own business called Dent Sorcery. I take pride in what I do and try and always put my best foot forward. I consider PDR to be an art and absolutely love this industry. I look forward to the many years I still have ahead of me and it would be an honor to be ARC certified.
