PDR Training Courses
Whether you’re a beginner looking to kick start a new career, or a technician wanting to improve their skill, we have the correct PDR technician course for you.
Paintless Dent Repair involves the use of specialised tools and a reflective light source in order to remove the dents in a car’s bodywork. These are then massaged out carefully, as to avoid damaging the paintwork and increasing the total cost of repair.
