About Me:
I spent 10 years, between 1983 and 1993, in a traditional body shop. The last few years of which we were using both Dent wizard and Dentpro for some of our smaller repairs. As a result, I became very aware of the value that PDR brought to the automotive industry. In 1993 we moved to Redding California and started Dent pro of Redding, serving the northern Sacramento Valley of California. Whereas I have enjoyed the Paintless dent repair aspect infinitely more than the traditional body shop role, the traditional body shop experience has allowed me to understand the distribution of stresses and tension in automotive sheet-metal in larger, more complex, dents, and therefore to understand how to release that tension before “attacking“ a dent, thereby making for a cleaner, end result. I have been very blessed in and really enjoy this industry.
