Paintless dent repair: the money goes to whoever knows which jobs to turn down

You offer mobile repairs of smaller dents without repainting: parking dings, door dents, hail damage. You work at the customer’s home, in a company car park or at a used-car dealer. The market isn’t empty: in larger towns there are dozens of dent technicians and networked brands, and prices for a small dent start low. The room for a newcomer is in speed, travel and honest assessment. The method only works on metal with intact paint, with access from behind or room for a glue pull, and away from sharp edges and aluminium panels. Whoever takes every job ends up with a car that has to go to the paint shop, and a name that spreads fast in the trade. Especially after a hailstorm, when insurers need hundreds of cars repaired and hire teams of dent technicians.
