High Strength Steel Panels on Vehicles

High Strength Steel is being used more and more on new vehicles. This makes the automobile lighter and stronger. It is a fantastic development for the auto industry, but it makes the job of a dent guy tougher. This is why PDR (paintless dent repair) companies are having to include a 25-50% markup on dent removal repairs to these high strength steel (HSS) panels.

Here is a link for more info on HSS from i-Car.

Please add to our list of high strength steel panels in the comment section below.

We will add them to the master list once verified.

PDR Paintless Dent Repair or Removal

The PDR (paintless dent repair) industry is showing increased competition in all aspects. Many local route technicians have been giving up their accounts in order to chase hail storms in recent years due to the slow economy. This increased the competition in the automotive hail damage repair industry. Since 2013 has been a relatively dry year relative to hail damage, prices have been falling. What are some of the things that your PDR company is doing to stay competitive?

Paintless dent repair is a growing industry.

Although people are trying to get into it all the time. The truth is that only about 1% of people who try to repair dents end up being able to make a living doing so. Much like golf, many people try it, but only the top individuals get good enough to reach professional levels.
