Our Editor's Take
Who are PDR professionals, and why should anyone care about their work? That's a question that the podcast Dent Time PDR tries to answer.
The Dent Time PDR podcast explains what this acronym means. PDR is short for paintless dent repair. It's the process of removing pesky creases, dents, and dings from a car's body. But unlike traditional repairs, it doesn't resort to sanding or painting. And it doesn't use anything that could damage the car further. PDR specialists are the superheroes of the auto repair world. They use specialized tools and techniques to manipulate the metal back into shape. But how does any of that result in a compelling podcast?
It helps that Dent Time PDR has a compelling podcast host. Myke Toledo is the owner of Dent Time body shop in San Diego. He's been in the paintless dent repair industry for over 30 years. With that amount of experience, he has some stories to tell. He also has gone through so many changes in this field.
In his podcast, Toledo chats with other PDR professionals, like Joe Garcia from Dent Evo. They discuss the techniques they use in their line of work. They also talk about new developments in the field and go into detail about their expertise.
Moreover, being a PDR professional means being a business owner. And often, the conversation veers into the complexities of running a company. Toledo and his guests talk about offering a warranty or pricing their services. They even go into marketing and discuss the benefits of TikTok, Instagram, and texting to attract new clients.
And it may not be that well-known, but the PDR industry is pretty cutthroat. For one, there is a lot of competition from traditional auto body repair shops. But also, since PDR is the cheaper option, customers prefer it, and the demand is high. So if those pros want more clients, they have to keep up with the latest technologies and skill levels. Dent Time PDR gives additional tips to do so. All this makes this a great listen for car enthusiasts and aspiring entrepreneurs.
