LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON

​

​

If a passion for automobiles is an inherited trait then

there's no doubt where mine came from - straight from

my Dad, the car nut. Dad was eager to share his love

and knowledge of all things car related and I was a

willing pupil. At the age of 15 I painted my first car and,

with that, I was hooked.

​

​

My professional career in the automotive industry began in trade school where

I studied auto techniques and management before entering the body shop floor in 1987 as a tech. Eight years later, I became working manager followed by manager estimator in 2007.

​

In 2008 I was introduced to a compelling repair technique that changed the course of my career: Paintless Dent Repair (PDR). Intrigued, I watched as skilled technicians used specialized tools to remove dents and dings from damaged vehicles without ever touching the metal on the vehicle's exterior. No paint. No sanding. No buffing. No filler. All the work was done from behind.

​

Later that year I attended Paintless Dent Repair training where I was introduced to PDR method, tools and techniques. It was there that my appreciation for PDR really took off. I discovered that, much like in conventional auto body repair, not all PDR is created equal. The quality of the repair will largely be determined by the technician's skill level, time spent perfecting their craft, knowledge of vehicles and attention to detail.

 

Ever since that training, I have applied by love of vehicles to mastering the art of Paintless Dent Repair. Fueled by enthusiasm for the automobile and years of industry experience, I strive for excellence and integrity in every job. My goal is to deliver the highest quality service and repair to every customer because restoring vehicles is more than my profession. It's my passion.
