Anson PDR | DentCraft | ULTRAHi, my name is Andrio Henrique Rodrigues. I’ve been working in the Automotive Repair Industry for over 15 years. I originally started as a Painter back in Brazil. However, through the working years, I became a Bodyman, and in 2009, I got my Paintless Dent Repair certificate. I have had the experience of working with local repairs, typically repairing minor panel repairs and door dings, but mainly my experience is repairing damaged cars. In 2011 I launched my company that today is well known within the Hail Industry, attending international hail damage repairs demands. We are based in the United States, Australia, Brazil, and France. I am a person that is always looking for methods and opportunities to improve my knowledge as a professional, manager, and person. My first certificate was with FAST PDR TOOLS, in which I joined a PDR course and got a certificate in 2009 in Brazil. Still, in 2009 I got a certificate from one of the most significant professional training education in Brazil, SENAI. Then, in 2011 I participated in automotive polishing, mirror finish, Micro-painting, and Glazing courses at POLLO PROFESSIONAL TRAINING in Brazil. In 2017, I got a Certificate III in automotive body repair technology with INTECH INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY in Australia. In 2022, I got a MASTER CRAFTSMAN certificate for the Global Paintless Dent Repair Industry from VALE TRAINING in the USA. All certificates I mentioned are automotive-related. Another experience is that I was invited to be part of an International Paintless Dent Repair Competition by IASRE INTERNATIONAL AUTOMOTIVE SMART-REPAIR EXHIBITION JAPAN. I joined them in 2018, and in 2019, I participated in the competition as a technician taking home 7th place.
