What's New with Dent Time
Learning new things is awesome. That's how I keep my motivation going, the drive to stay fresh and give that overall unique approach to things. I get bored pretty fast and so whoever is reading this post understands why Dent Time gets fresh looks often. The world changes and I am a guy who loves change as well. You know what they say? "Change or Die." My passion about Dent Time is the ability of being able to think and create a vision. Some are easy to do and some are not. But it eventually all comes together.
My latest project is producing the Tommy Jue PDR Adventure and Ultra Dent's new Roller Tip video. Meanwhile, I am creating new idea from photos to give some more kick on some new pages for the DentTime.com website.
I can honestly say, things are very busy (work and family) and it's amazing I actually get MOST (not all) of my things done. Here's a Sneak Peek of the Tommy Jue PDR Training Adventure video. Well, gotta go and finish up my stuff. Take care

I Love What I Do - That's It.

With today's fast changing auto reconditioning market, it's important I keep my website current for all type of users, visitors and potential customers. I have been working on the new Dent Time site in the back end (Not Released Yet) for awhile now and I think I finally like what I have been doing. Very dynamic but not as flashy as my current site. Functionality is my goal and not too busy.
My direction that I am going with Dent Time will be a combination of my other sites I have built. Training downloads, products to purchase, videos and a full paid membership page that users can watch exclusive videos about pdr training. I don't have a release date set yet. I know better to do that to myself.
People ask me if I have a team of people that create my websites, produce my videos, design my ads, do my marketing and run my company? The answer "was" yes 3 years ago. The answer today is NO. Why? Because nobody on a consistent bases could have the passion about how I wanted my company to look, act and represent better than myself. Now sure, I can still hire a team of people to take over my tasks of everything and give myself more time to just sit around and do nothing.. But it's not about that. It's about "I love what I do." I love to fix dents, I love to market my own company, I love to produce and edit my own videos, I love to create my own websites and I just love what I do.. PERIOD. I can't help it.
My belief is if you are not passionate about what you do in regards to any job or business you own, then get out. Your wasting your time. Learn to be creative, learn to learn and you will grow. A business is not just about making money.. it's only a tool. Until most people get that meaning, they will always constantly battle the up and down motivations. You just have to ask yourself one question.. Do I love what I do?

New Sister Web Site for Dent Time Launched "Dent Repair San Diego"

We recently launched another sister automotive reconditioning web site called "Dent Repair San Diego" www.DentRepairSanDiego.com This site has actually been existing for over 3 years but we decided to give it a serious makeover.
Our goal was to create an even better and more exciting site than our official web site DentTime.com Although Dent Time still has it's flavor, we really like our new look for Dent Repair San Diego. It has all the goodies needed to give our customers what they are looking for. And that is called, "answers." We provide lots of video and we mean lots. From individual showcasing to a video gallery hosted by Youtube, there is always some sort of entertainment regarding the San Diego Dent Time automotive reconditiong services.
Our next goal was to educate but not ovewhelm. We wanted to keep it informative but not too busy. A blanced web site was what we were focused on. Clutter on a site can really kill the eyes and influece the visitor to click off right away. But with that in mind, we created each page to have it's own feel. Some had more info than others but as I mentioned earlier, we kept our site balanced.
From paintless dent removal (PDR) to bumper and wheel repair, this web site is totally built for intrest. We plan to add more pages and articles as the site gets bigger. But as for now, we are actually still concentrating on the existing pages and polishing up the site. So bare with us, it's considered still under construction.
We hope you like the site and if you would like to comment or give us some input, please do.
Thanks!

Not Your Average Dent - Advanced Paintless Dent Repair
This video was created for demonstration purposes on just how big of a dent we can remove. Obviously PDR has come a long way. But we must keep in mind, cars that were made 15-20 years ago were like tanks! The gage of the sheet metal was thicker and dents these big were mainly caused from minor car accidents. Not just a slight bump or someone falling against the panel. These days, the sheet metal on a car are super thin and protected by basically a roll cage and impact beams from inside.
Now still, the thinner the sheet metal, that hard to work with. Picture holding a beer can and squishing it half way with your hand. Now see how easy or challenging it would be to un-wrinkle and smooth out the dent. It won't be easy. Just like the video you see now is not easy.
PDR is an art. It takes time, patience and experience to consistently perform quality repairs at this level. You might even be surprised that even taking out a nickel to quarter size dings take incredible skill as well. Some are deep, some are in bad locations and some are on aluminum panels. For the worse, all of the above can happen. Finishing is the essence. In some cases, it can take 6 months to a year to consistently perform PDR at a professional level. Bigger dents can take longer.
Training is obviously important. The longer the better. Building muscle memory, eye-hand coordination and soaking up the techniques are what builds the learning curvature much quicker. I personally train my students 4 weeks in most cases. For some I break it up in two 2 week sessions. Mainly some can not afford to be away from a current job or can not afford the 4 weeks all together. For more info, please visit our training page
For those who are thinking about using PDR to remove your unwanted dings and dents, you must choose a company with experience. Price obviously can be an issue but in the end, the quality of the repair will matter most. So before you decide to go with a company who might save you $10, $20 or even $30, do your homework and see who's good. Besides, you only have one factory finish. If you have any questions, give us a call 800.420.3368 or visit us at denttime.com

Toyota Tundra Paintless Dent Repair - San Diego|North County
Paintless Dent Repair is a Challenge but here at Dent Time, we make it an Adventure!
San Diego/North County PDR -On this dent we were able to pop most of the dent out without creating an oil can effect in the beginning. Lots of patience, knocking down and correct reading of the reflection. To some this might have seemed easy but it wasn't. Lots of hidden crowns and tapping to do as well. I guess though, if we make our PDR repairs seem easy, then I guess we've done more than just a good job. That comes with the territory. It's unfortunate the only people who appreciate and acknowledge craftsmanship are people who are related in the field or who understand this PDR technique takes years to master. It's too bad, most people think price before quality. What they don't realize is, quality will always be their ever lasting concern in the end.

One thing you’ll want to consider is which Paintless Dent Repair/Removal (PDR) Company is the most experienced, not the cheapest.

The technician’s individual training, experience and skill will determine your results.

Crowns & Highs - Paintless Dent Repair / Removal Training (PDR)
Crowns and pressure releasing is one of the most important factors to understand and learn about paintless dent repair. It is also the most overlooked lesson during a trainee's learning experience. Mainly due to not enough time during PDR training.
We show an introduction page from our Basic Line Board Manual regarding crowns. Not a whole lot to show but enough that you can tell what a crown looks like through our eyes and the line reflection. Our PDR training goes into depth about "identification." If you can't see it, how are you going to remove a dent completely?
In most cases, PDR techs who are not aware of crowns or simply don't see them, end up forcing a dent to come out. Unfortunately, that won't work. Instead the results are either a wave still visible or unwanted push marks. Identifying crowns and releasing pressure creates a smoother and faster repair which eliminates forcing a repair.
You must understand a dent wants to go back to its original shape. You just need to know why, how and where. Moving the board in different angles is one key but the details that are surrounding it is what puts it all together.
Our one-on-one PDR training explains in detail why you are missing what you're not seeing. If you are already a veteran PDR tech, you may want to purchase the Basic Line Board Manual before taking advanced training? Although again, there is no substitution for personal and one-on-one PDR training.
Our pdr manual is designed to give you more insight which can make all of a world of difference. If you have any questions regarding PDR training or the Line Board Manual, please visit denttime.com

San Diego - Paintless Dent Repair - Removal PDR
This dent was caused by a person's body running into it. As you notice the dent has a massive and tight crown above it. In order to release stress from the crown, we used the glue pulling method for this type of paintless dent repair technique. Now the easy part was pulling the dent, no big deal right? Not really. Knowing exactly where to place the tabs can be tricky sometimes but more importantly, knowing how hard to pull. We used a 5lb slide hammer to do the job. One think you don't want to do, is over stretch the area. It could have been a done deal if we did.
Next was the hard part. If you are a current PDR tech, you'll understand there is always some sort of crowns on all dents. Some are more obvious than others. It took us 3 1/2 hours to tap down this crown even when most of the stress was taken off. It's a battle back and forth. Push, knock down, push, knock down. As the dent got smaller, so did the crowns by becoming harder to identify. In these cases, we place our line reflection back further to view the waves (high and lows) that tell us what is left. We used a soft tip tap down so we did not cause tap down pits. The metal is so soft, it was like a tin can. I hate soft metal. A big dent like this can make or break you.
All in all, it turned out pretty decent and the customer was very happy. For more information please visit our official website DentTime.com

Paintless Dent Removal at its Best San Diego
When it comes to deep and complex paintless dent repair, Dent Time is the specialist. Removing a body line dent like you see above takes a lot of experience and skill. Please be aware, performing this type of repair is not typical for most PDR companies. This is a very difficult repair to achieve w/out disturbing the paint finish.
How did we really do it? A few things are involved. We use a special line reflection that gives us tremendous detail about the dent itself. Reading the line board is probably the most important factor why this repair turned out successfully. The reflection of the lines give distinctive patterns.
Tools. Special designed tools are used to gain access behind the dent. We also use tools that gently tap down the area of the panel that indicates high spots to help the flexibility of the paint.
Experience.
Over time one can build a lot of experience but pushing the envelope beyond what is possible builds skill and consistent results. We always are up for a challenge when it comes to complex and advanced paintless dent repair. Not only we perform it we teach the skill as well.
We encourage if you have some photos you would like to get an estimate for please click here and you'll be taken to our main website.

The Cost of Paintless Dent Repair / Removal San Diego
Surely we understand cost is important. We all want a good deal don't we? We also want a great job to go along with it too right? Although a good deal is only a good deal if it's done right.
Here at Dent Time, we promote quality over price. Why? Because we understand (In most cases) you consider price first. What we know and understand more importantly is that in the end of the repair, quality is the most important. If the cost is low but the job was not done right, it wouldn't matter now would it?
Dent Time's prices are based on how sharp, location, type of metal (aluminum or steel) and access. Bigger doesn't always mean more expensive. For a typical door ding about the size of a quarter or smaller it varies between $85-$125. Now please understand, it again depends on how sharp, location, type of metal (aluminum or steel) and access. Multiple dings on multiple panles start between $150-$500. What is the average cost for dents? A dent would be considered anything larger than a silver dollar. These type of dents vary between $150-$500.
