Automotive Dent Specialist

PART-TIME

An automotive dent specialist (often called a Paint‑less Dent Repair (PDR) Technician) is a skilled technician who restores a vehicle's exterior panels to their factory finish without using costly body fillers or new paint. They fix dings, creases, and hail damage using specialized tools to carefully massage the metal.

• Damage Assessment:
  Evaluate cosmetic damage to determine whether it can be fixed via PDR or requires traditional auto body repair.
• Dent Removal:
  Use specialized metal rods, glue‑pulling kits, and tap‑down tools to gently reshape and massage metal panels back to their original form.
• Trim Reattachment:
  Remove and reinstall interior panels, trim, or lights to properly access the backside of dented exterior metal.
• Quality Control:
  Inspect the finished vehicle to ensure it meets dealership or retail cosmetic standards before returning it to the customer or sales lot.
• Inventory Turnover:
  Work quickly and efficiently to prep used and new inventory on a fast‑paced dealership lot.

• Experience:
  
  2 to 5 years of professional automotive PDR and cosmetic repair experience.
• Physical Dexterity:
  High level of hand‑eye coordination, patience, and fine motor skills to manipulate metal without damaging the factory paint.
• Technical Knowledge:
  Understanding of different vehicle body materials, such as aluminum and high‑strength steel.
• Tool Proficiency:
  Ability to properly handle specialized PDR rods, light boards, slide hammers, and rotary polishers.
• Vision Corrected: must have a field of vision at 20/20 or correctable to this standard.
• Certifications:
  
  Certifications from organizations like National Alliance of Paint‑less Dent Repair Technicians (NAPDRT), Ding King, or Vale Training are a plus.
