Took their pdr class 5 years ago, and interior repair training a year ago and couldn’t be happier. They support their graduates, I’ve called Skip at least a dozen times with questions after graduating and he always took the time to help. I believe they really want to see a person succeed.

This is the second training facility I have attended and it far surpassed the first place I trained in every way. From the vastly knowledgeable trainers, the staff, and the owner, every aspect of my experience was handled with professionalism, friendliness, and customer service. I will recommend the Paintless Dent School to every person I know who is interested in getting into the industry. I can’t say enough about the great experience from start to finish! Way to go Paintless Dent School!

Just finished PDR 80 with Paintless Dent School, and what an awesome experience. Choosing Paintless Dent School for my training was absolutely the best decision I could have made. James, Sal, and Cole were fantastic, and their hands-on and personalized approach to training was second to none. The entire staff was unbelievably personable, and professional and will welcome you into their family. Thank you Paintless Dent School. I am absolutely confident that I have a world-class foundation to grow a successful PDR business. I will certainly be back for more training, and highly recommend Paintless Dent School to anyone looking to learn PDR or vehicle reconditioning.

I was in the week course in California and I could not be more impressed with how knowledgeable the instructors were and how well put together this course was! I learned so much in just the short time I was there… I would recommend this school to anyone who is looking to get a good education from an awesome group of guys. I feel confident in what I was taught that I can go home and succeed in this industry! Thank you to the ding king for such a good experience.

I completed Paintless Dent School’s 4-week PDR (Paintless Dent Repair) training program. PDR is a challenging skill that requires sound fundamentals, patience, and hours & hours of practice. The Ding King Institute provided me with those fundamentals and their teaching staff (James, Sal, and Cole) are the best of the best when it comes to teaching novices (myself) to seasoned paint and dent guys. I came to Paintless Dent School with no prior PDR experience/ training and looking to make a career change. While seasoned PDR techs and the master instructors at Paintless Dent School make the PDR process look easy, it takes time to develop the required skills to become proficient and everyone progresses at different rates. For the first two weeks of the program, I struggled to acquire the basic skills of performing Paintless Dent Repair. The instructors (to a man) put in extra time with me personally, until I built up my confidence and the necessary skills to progress in the program. I couldn’t recommend PDR as a profession or the team at Paintless Dent School any higher, 5 Stars doesn’t do the Paintless Dent School team justice! For perspective, students, believe the hype, these guys and the school are really that good! For those starting their PDR own business, Todd, the company’s President, is a valuable resource in getting your business up and running and is always willing to lend an ear and provide you with his 30 plus years of business knowledge. I wish I had received this kind of attention during and post-graduation from my 4-year university!

My employer was interested in upgrading my arsenal of skills as a journeyman red seal body technician to include paintless dent repair tecniques. After doing the research on which schools seem more reputable, Paintless Dent School was a step above the rest. Customer service was superb, communication was excellent for everything including hotel arrangements and the fine details. I’ve attended the 2 week (10-day) PDR program at Paintless Dent School and I’ve gained enough knowledge and hands-on experience to confidently repair larger complex damage to within 95% of undamaged condition. James and Salvador are excellent instructors, and logistics coordination with Todd and Cher was as good as it gets. I recommend the program to anybody interested in learning how to perform paintless dent repair in a very professional and hands-on environment. That being said, some previous skills in the auto body trade are very beneficial, for having a good eye is key to success. I feel I’ve learned more about automotive panel metalworking and the way metal reacts to different techniques in the past 2 weeks than I have in my entire 7200 hours of combined education and experience required for red seal certification. I was tossed up originally about which training institute to attend due to mixed reviews, however to anyone who’s reading this review I can assure you that Paintless Dent School will exceed your expectations because they want you to succeed. It sickens me to have read some of the negative things people have posted about Paintless Dent School, after meeting the staff here and learning so much over my 2-week stay in the beautiful state of California I can only assume such negative reviews have been fabricated by lesser quality institutes and should not be regarded. My experience in California was life-changing, not only due to the massive amount of metalwork/PDR skills I’ve added to my inventory but also from everything I’ve seen and experienced in this beautiful place in the evenings after class and during the weekend. Basically, if you have the interest and the drive to learn the art of paintless dent repair, they can give you the crucial methods and instruction required for top-notch results.

The training was what I expected to get… Chase did an awesome job teaching this old man the basics of PDR. Thank you, Chase and Paintless Dent School. I’m 55 years old, and my eyes are not as sharp as they once were but now I have the basis to add to my body shop business… I highly recommend that anyone thinking about going PDR… go with Paintless Dent School.

James and Sal did a great job teaching PDR. They are both well-versed and personable instructors which made the class time educational as well as enjoyable. Todd the owner is a fantastic source of information…pointing me in the right direction for my business. Then there is Cher. She is the admissions coordinator who went above and beyond to put my training package together in a way that would benefit me and my goals the most. She treated me like I was a family member from the minute I walked through the door. I will not hesitate to recommend Paintless Dent School for PDR training and I will be back to take more courses in the future!
