Dent Tools

Try Focus, they have some great UK made tools in stock good value, but not cheap.

Just remember though when it comes to price, nobody ever regrets buying quality.

Yep! I also stock some tools from Steve at Metalspace that are made to my design, in fact most guys that come to me for training have bought some.

GO TO DENTRIX. PROPER TOOLS AND PROPER TRAINING

Basic to Advanced.

I'm seriously considering going to Dentrix for the 5 day course as an add-on to paint repairs.  There's only 2 dent repair people in my area, and they can't do anything like what Dentrix have on their website.

Go for it!

If your just starting out in PDR just make sure you know that you will need more than 5 days training and you will need plenty of daily practice!

I have bought tools and equipment from John at dentrix a few times and he seems a really nice guy, I have heard lots of good things about his training.  He can teach from beginner to advanced and this is the type of trainer that I would go to if I wanted more training.

The better you get the faster you get. This helps when you have to take on jobs that your competition shy away from.

Good luck with it, I love PDR

Hi paint doc,

i have been and trained with john at dentrix he is a very good trainer and the course is one to die for
i would how ever say it is up to each individual how quickly he learns the art of PDR it`s no good chatting
to the other guy`s when youre paying john a premium to show you the skills you need, so get your head
down learn all you can and when you have that dinner break then chat to your mates and when you go
out for a pint thats the time to chat.

Thanks guys, I really appreciate the advice.  I'm not in the UK, I'm in Ireland - so if I was going to do the course, you can be damned sure I'd make it count   Glad to see the feedback on Dentrix is as good as the impression their site gives.  The work they do there is incredible.

Hi paint doc,

Just a quick post to say there are also great techs out there that do go un noticed ?

If you want a free taste of Dentrix, go along on one of the open days and see if its for you. Bit of a trip from Ireland but I know of no other training centre that is better than Dentrix.

There are plenty of independents that offer training but just be careful as there are also a few individuals that will only show you the very basics and you will be left in the dark if you need to progress.

If you want to get training by an independent, you want to go to someone who is not in your area (no conflict of interest) and who has been repairing dents for a good few years, I do not mean door dings either! Its easy to learn how to remove a minor ding.

You want someone who can tackle the bigger, deeper stretched out dents too. I am sure if you go on a few of the many PDR forums you might find someone. I have found in the past that the UK PDR trainers are very hard to find.

Don't think you will go wrong with Dentrix.

@Andy - No doubt!  The problem locally is that most guys'll do the trolley dings, but nothing where metal has stretched, or where it has encountered a swage line.  I spent 7 years managing a Dealership and it was frustrating because I knew the UK well trained PDR technicians could do it in their sleep.

@Alanh - thanks for the recommendation.  Will go paint some more bumpers and save up
