Westlock PDR Training

What is PDR?

Paintless dent repair (PDR), is an innovative method of vehicle repair for small dents, dings, and creases (including hail damage), that does not require sanding, grinding, filling, priming, or painting. PDR does not disturb the vehicle’s original factory finish, and PDR is the only method that can make that claim.

Because PDR is extremely cost effective compared to traditional methods, protects the resale and/or trade-in value of the vehicle, takes less time than old-fashioned repairs, and gets vehicles back on the road quickly demand for PDR is going through the roof. Demand is so high that it is creating a shortage of qualified PDR technicians.

If you have an interest in making a career in the PDR industry, there is no better time than right now!

A Brief Look at The PDR Process

Paintless dent repair is a straightforward, 4-step process:

  1. Damage is assessed by a PDR technician to determine if PDR is a viable solution for the repair.
  2. The reverse side of the damage is accessed by removing any components in the way.
  3. A determination is made by the technician about which tools are required and the repair is planned.
  4. The technician completes the repair.

Why Do You Have to take a Training Course?

It requires neither legal credentials nor licensing in Westlock. However, vehicle owners will want to see something that proves your skill and experience before trusting you with their vehicle.

Frankly, that is the least important reason to receive comprehensive PDR training. The technical expertise and experience required to perform PDR are mind-boggling. Just watch a handful of YouTube videos and see for yourself. It quickly becomes clear that mastering this craft is not possible by watching a video or studying a book. It requires hands-on training—period, full stop!

PDR is a combination or art and science. Training will teach you the science and experience will develop the art.
