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.

Core Responsibilities

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.

Key Qualifications

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 the [National Alliance of Paint-less Dent Repair Technicians (NAPDRT)], DingKing, or [Vale Training] are a plus.

$15.50 to $17.00 per hour, plus commission
