Bruh thanks for the awesome video. I looked up a lot of videos and all these other other RU-vid pdr dudes just show the damage and finish product, we don’t learn jack. You show the tools use etc, video great. Thanks man!
Amazing work as always, I've got a question perhaps you could answer. See, today was my first time trying PDR, glue pulling was straighforward no problem, but HOW do you know where to APPLY your pdr rod to fine tune the dent? The dent was so small i couldnt really feel it under my finger tip and I couldnt really see where I am pushing with the rod either. The only thing I could think of is that the metal I was working on was loose on the table instead of being fixed into the car, so possibly I didn't have enough leverage to make the metal move/stretch much and therefore i wasn't able to see it. Big thanks for your work, it's truely inspiring and satisfying watching that metal morph, cheers!
You’re a true artist. My 30yr career in hand eye pressure coronation in high end finishing of a different field has peeked my interest in testing my abilities in this field (on my own test vehicles of corse 🤷🏻♂️) it’s a good start since they been clobbered by hail. 👍🏼
I m getting trained as pdr technician we just saw the dent pullers and glue ,and on the roof I thought you will use the glue and the dent puller since you removed the interior panel
Hey elevation I’m looking for a skill to learn and my dad told me this would be great to get into. I’m looking for any tips and tricks for beginners i love your channel you seem to be a great dent remover and I hope you’d be a mentor in this mission im going to work on my sister car who’s got some kind of railing damage dent
My 2010 slk350 just got hammerd with crazy looking hail. It was marble sized hail that was froze into fist size hail. $8,000 was the estimated cost of repair. I wish I could send it to you. I like your work better than anyone else's I've seen. You tackle a whole car while others just do one maybe two dents.
@@elevationdentco.4463 Springdale Ar. Two weeks prior a tornado touched down and missed my block by a couple hundred feet. Man, I thought I was good then the hail hit. I didn't know there were so many PDR techs who chased storms. They flooded the area fighting for our business. If you don't mind could you please give me some tips on how to separate the pros from the armature dent techs? I am afraid of choosing the wrong person and not getting a quality job. I never knew hail damage repair was so in depth.
Hey Straight Lines i bought that tool off another technician while I was out working a hail storm. Not sure if its true but from what I was told they stopped making them but you maybe able to find one online by some google search . It's an awesome rod if you can find one..
That is pretty impressive. I have to thank you as I have a Pathfinder that has huge dents from hail, and this will hell immensely to get myself psyched to fix it.
What would a ballpark figure be to fix a 2019 RAM 1500 assuming the same amount of damage as this car in the video but without the trunk obviously. Roof, Hood, and left side of the truck. Would it be cheaper to get a new replacement OEM hood instead of repairing?
My car got hit so much worse then this. Couple of weeks ago . 😢 I'm try to get some of it out myself. It busted my light out my side mirrors out my windshields out. Whole car got hit.smh

That car was hit! Very repairable though. Time consuming. I’d plan for 1 1/2-2 days. Without seeing the sides and just going off the top of my head not looking at an estimate sheet (since the damage on the estimate sheet would probably put you at replacing panels instead of repairing them) I’d say somewhere between 6-7k to repair. Not a bad 2 days though. I love hail. The cars always come out sweet and the money is amazing. I enjoy your videos. Mainly the large complex glue pull ones since that’s what I’m doing too. Keep up the good work!
@@edwardli8938 well I work for a big company and have given hundreds of estimates on hail. The problem is working for a large company you get less than 50% of what you bill. I’d gross around $2400 of that and then pay taxes. I agree this amount would total that car but something more expensive, no. Hail is good money. The average hail tech makes between 200k-350k per year and a lot of them only work 9 months out of the year. I choose to work for dealerships and not concentrate on hail because I’d be away from my family all year. This job pays well because not too many guys can do it. It’s a tough line of work
@@edwardli8938he’s saving this car in the video from being totaled because he bought the car and wants to repair it to sell it and make money. . Did you actually watch the video? That car was smashed and yes 6-7k to fix it is about right. Don’t doubt my estimates. I’ve done hundreds if not thousands of hail estimates. You don’t know what you’re talking about as far as estimates. Any Pdr tech would agree with me on my estimates and some may be higher than mine
Around what size hail would you guess starts causing stretching? Im sure theres much more to it than just stone size and velocity. Dime size or larger? Or around quarter size?
El estiramiento depende de la punta q tenga el golpe xq podes tener en golpe de 2cm estirado y uno de 10cm q no este estirado depende mas de la.profundidad q de el diametro
