Ever bought a vehicle in a hail/dent sale?

[Tuffbroadhead]

. They charge less than a thousand a vehicle and the dealers insurance pays close to 3k depending on what it is.

Dent Wizard International is the company that I work for, it is the worlds largest PDR company and most well known in dealer circles. We work in every Manheim auto auction in the Nation and abroad. And both are subsidiaries of Cox industries.

As for the reference above, let me clarify something...I have NEVER seen a hail car under a 1000.00, and to clear up that statment...We work directly with the Insurance companies, the dealers never see's the bill. We do the job STRAIGHT off of the repair estimate, from the insurance company...no price scamming done by either the Car dealer or the PDR company....

. I have seen them fix baseball sized dents to the point where the average person cant hardly tell. . .

Once the metal is "cratered" meaning the metal surface has been stretched, it cannot be repaired via PDR....

But I do agree with the average person statment, when most repairs are done someone that is not in the industry will not see the repair area..

I Do Pdr Work Certified By Ding King Inc.if The Dents Arnt To Deep I Can Fix Them,the Problem With A Baseball Sized Dent Is That The Metal Is To Streched To Repair Without Damaging The Paint,now Metal Does Have Some Memory Caracteristics And Maybe The Hot Sun Could Get A Very Small Dent Out,i Was Taught That Dry Ice Doesnt Work,ive Never Actually Tried It Though,there Is A Point When There Are Too Many Dents,ive Fixed Hoods With Over 300 Dents Before,ive Heard Of Them Fixing 500 Or More But Sooner Or Later Its No Longer Feasable To Try To Push All Those Dents Out,just My 2 Cents Worth

I have been through several hail sales and I know that I personelly scammed customers like I was asked to do! Dealers and the PDR companies are the ones who make out like bandits. I never said that the PDR was a scam. I was refering to the dealerships. Sorry if you took offence. I know the dealer recouped so much money on each car I sold and only a fraction went to the repair of that car. In mos cases the customer who got the car reapired got the same deal as the customer who did not. So I again apolgize but the dealers are nothing but scam artist and for you say diffrent I have to disagree.

If you will take notice I referred to Dent Wizard, and how we do business.....

Car dealers are scammers in the purest sense , new used ,,,dosnt matter all are scammers..

The way we operate elimanates the screwing ....we deal directly with the insurance companies.. The agent say's its 2200.00 in damage, thats what will be charged.... the car dealership doesnt come into play..

And no you did'nt ruffle any feathers Wiki...

I'm an adjuster writing as many claims a day as I can look at and they're averaging $1750-$2250 with some being more and some being a little less and I'm out in West,TX. In that area a good portion of the repairs will have to be conventional.

We were in the storm, here in Weatherford. When we heard there was a tornado on the ground, we shot to my house in FW. We did see all the cars damaged. It seemed as is all the small cars lost windows etc. I didnt see one broken truck window.

I have some small dents on my truck from last year while I was in Baltimore. Any of you PDRs guys (Dale) give a TBH discount???
j/k bro Until I get the IRS paid I can't afford to pay attention...

Carry on
