Harley Motorcycle Electra Glide - Gas Tank Dent Repair - San Diego

Hello everyone again. It's been a busy week for me and challenging to say the least. Lately I have been doing a lot of personal training and that is a good reason I have not been blogging in awhile. But between training and actually doing some pdr repairs, I find the time to film and share my experiences. So lets get started.

OK, well this was a Harley Davidson - Electra Glide motorcycle tank that obviously had a nasty dent. I always say almost every dent is challenging but it's true, they are! If I feel the dent repairs I perform are not challenging then I guess I would have been out of the business altogether a long time ago. I also like to be challenged because then I am not bored with what I do. I feel once there is no room to grow, it's time to move on. With PDR, there are always new challenges as long as you are willing to accept them. But I guess that is true with real life anyways? But back to the topic.

Motorcycle tanks vary in thickness and contours. But those are just a couple of factors to consider. Depth, access and location are the most significant. Next comes experience because when the gauge of the metal is thick, it makes it very difficult to find your tool tip. And this tank was all about that! For the first 30 minutes I struggled to find my tool. The next challenge was keeping my tool tip balanced from the backside. Why? Because when the metal is crease deep, it creates a ridge or mountain on the inside. I had to pinpoint my tool exactly on the peek to get it to move. In most cases I was slipping and I mean a lot. Between myself smelling like a greasy mechanic that took a bath in fuel, I managed to have some success... eventually.

My advice to anyone attempting a Harley Davidson gas tank dent repair is be prepared for a battle. Bring a lot of soft tips and stiff tools. Also it wouldn't hurt to go to the gym and work on your deltoid and biceps for additional natural strength. You'll need it.

We redesigned how to present our before and after shots as you see above. We hate just having a simple here you go look at my repair shots. So we spiced our (PDR) paintless dent repair photos and made it look a bit more interesting.

Here is a shot of a very unique Ducati chrome motorcycle gas tank. This was one of our sharpest and deepest dent repairs we had performed in San Diego.

Mobile Auto Body Shop On Wheels - New Bumper Repair Video

San Diego Bumper Time - I just finally got around and created an updated video for our other sister division BumperTime.com. I added a new intro I was working on and to say the least came out pretty decent. I wanted to do a quick informative process video to help our customers understand the bumper repair process.

Obviously bumper repair is a little time consuming and not just a wham, bam and we're done service. Our qualified technicians thoroughly pay close attention to detail. Which means we stand behind our craftsmanship. Bumper Time guarantees a factory computer color match along with a written lifetime warranty.

What Matters Most? Quality or Price?

It's hard to be aware that auto reconditioning is a skilled trade and takes a lot of experience to gain outstanding results. At Dent Time we take great steps educating our customers that in most cases, if you "buy cheap, you buy twice."

Unfortunately most people want the cheapest repair but at the moment, not concerned with quality. Just because you shop around for the best bargain doesn't mean you will always get the best repair. Paintless dent removal (PDR) or bumper scratch repair is not like going to the store and buying a gallon of milk. Every repair situation is unique and requires independent skill and expertise. That is why there are so many price differences between companies and the biggest difference is quality. The lack of overall experience and caliber in the end will show unpromising results after your commitment has already been made.

At Dent Time we stand behind our work 100% with a written lifetime warranty as well. But that is not the main factor. Our service has great value besides the guarantees. We offer professional mobile service, performed in the same day (1-4 hours to be exact) and save you lots time and money.

Moral of story, if you plan to choose Dent Time, the overall value you will receive is more than you paid for and won't have to worry in the end.

Paintless Dent Repair / Removal PDR 4 week Training Curriculum

I finally posted on my website the curriculum (Bigger if click on link.)that is involved in a 4 week paintless dent repair training course. Later on I will post a 2 and 3 week pdr training curriculum. But as for now future students can get a real good idea what's involved in the 4 week course.

I posted this curriculum for 2 reasons.

#1. So you can have at least a point of direction what to compare. Unfortunately, you won't learn what is in our curriculum with just 1 week training and this is crucial. The real world awaits after you go to school. Just make sure you were taught real world dents... not dings.

#2. It's always important that a student should know what to expect to learn. To me, I see our students maintain focus and push themselves through a faster learning curve. If the students don't have a visual about their lessons, then their readiness might not be as focused.
