I finished at the top of my class then started my career at a local dealership. After quite a few years made a move to assistant manager at a Loveland collision repair center.

During this time I managed to learn the paintless dent repair process and now have more than 14 years of experience.I am I-CAR platinum certified and will continue my training in paintless dent repair and collision repair for years to come.Paintless Dent Repair is the technique in which minor dents and door dings can be removed without compromising the original painted surfaces of your vehicle. There is an affordable alternative to accepting the fact that your vehicle has an unsightly ding or dent.The PDR process was developed for the non-collision type damage typical of door dings shopping cart dents, fallen tree limbs, etc- and hail damage. In some cases we can remove large dents or make them less of an eye sore plus we can also remove dents from plastic bumper covers.The DENT-ist technique is a refined craft where dents are skillfully removed rather than covered up with filler & then painted. Utilizing special tools the technician massages the dent out of the metal by applying strategic pressure and leverage from behind the damaged panel, and when unable to access the backside of the panel we have special techniques that are used to remove the dent.We DO NOT! Drill holes in your vehicle to gain backside access.
