Breaking tools...







Was working on a dent repair earlier today, I called a more experienced PDR tech for advice on access since i was having a hard time with it, he tells me that he is one of 6 techs in the nation that can access the kind of dent i was working on.

I say **** it, I threw everything at it and came out with an 80% repair (and a broken tool).
I am now one of the SEVEN techs in the nation that can fix the kind of dent i was working on today.

No pics of the damage since my camera was at the house today, so you will have to take my word for it. The ding was a vertical crease about an inch long on the left rear quarter panel of a MBZ CL600 (right on the edge).

$100,000 dollar cars break tools.

I write bills from $80 to $3000. (It basically boils down to how severe the job is).

I only wish that they made PDR tools, otherwise Snap-On would have had my back.
It's a $60 dollar tool so i won't lose sleep over it, but i wanted to share my experience from today since it took three hours to finish the repair.

I'm in Vegas now, you can see what we do here:
http://advanceddentrepairusa.com/
(The pics in the photo gallery were all my repairs from last year).

I'm not cheap, but i bring a lot of experience to the table. (Especially highline cars like Maseratis/Rolls/Benz/Porsche etc..).
