This week's episode features John Ashton from the Dent Academy, a leading provider of paintless dent repair training and services. John gives us an inside look at the benefits of paintless dent repair and why it has become the preferred method for repairing dents and dings on vehicles. Paintless dent repair involves massaging dents out from behind the body panels using specialized tools, allowing the metal to be reshaped without harming the vehicle's factory finish. This avoids the need for sanding, fillers, paints, or chemicals. John explains how this makes the process much faster, more affordable, and environmentally friendly compared to traditional body shop repairs that require repainting. At Dent Academy, they are dedicated to training the next generation of PDR technicians. John discusses their hands-on curriculum, state of the art training facility, and how they work directly with industry partners to keep their courses relevant. Students learn the latest techniques and have a chance to hone their skills before entering the workforce. John also provides tips for consumers to look for when choosing a PDR provider, key questions to ask, what to expect from the repair process, and how to maintain your car's finish. He stresses the importance of choosing a properly trained technician, not just the cheapest option. Overall, it's a great chance to learn from a true expert about the advantages of paintless dent repair and what sets Dent Academy apart in training the technicians of tomorrow.

00:00 - Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) Saves Money & Time on Dent Repairs vs. Traditional Body and Paint Repair ShopsWhen it comes to fixing dents and dings on your car, if you haven't tried PDR or Paintless Dent Repair, you should because it can save you money and time compared to traditional body and paint shops. 01:10 - Introduction - Guest Ryan Snider, Paintless Dent Repair SpecialistRyan is a PDR specialist in the Seattle area with a 5-star rating on Yelp with 177 reviews, so he definitely does an excellent job when it comes to paintless dent repair. I hired him to fix dents on my cars through a word-of-mouth recommendation, which is probably the best way to find a competent PDR specialist near you. 06:50 - How To Determine If A Dent On Your Car Or Truck Is A Good Candidate For Paintless Dent RepairIt's a good idea to consider PDR first over traditional body and paint work. A competent PDR specialist can take out some very large and unusual dents, so it's always worth it to get a bid. Start by sending a photo or video of the dent to find out if PDR is a good option for you, even if you don't think it will work. If your dent qualifies, you'll save money, it's more convenient (they typically come to you) and your car will still have its original paint. 11:30 - With PDR And A Good Detail, You Can Fall In Love With Your Current Used Car All Over Again. Rather than spending close to $50,000 on a new car or nearly $30,000 for a used car, consider making your existing car look like new again. Hire a PDR specialist to smooth out the dents, followed by a full detail and your used car or truck will suddenly be something you're proud to own and drive once again. 15:35 - What Is The Typical Size and Shape Of A Dent You Might Repair? That's tough because they're all different and it depends on where the dent is located on the car. Some areas are easier to access than others, but it is always best to send a photo or video to your PDR specialist to get an assessment. 17:00 - How Do You Approach Paintless Dent Repair? There are typically two ways. The most common way is to work from the back of the dent with tools to push out the metal, but when there is no access, glue and a small slide hammer is used to pull out the dent, but no matter the approach, it's all done very slowly and carefully and it takes a great deal of experience and skill to do it right. 23:00 - How Do You Get The Glue Off The Car? When it cools, it typically peels off, but if it doesn't want to remove easily after it dries, then you can use a little rubbing alcohol to release the glue. 28:00 - Do You Ever Let Your Customers Watch You Work? Everyone is curious about the process. They're excited and want to see how it works, but when I really need to focus, I will stop talking and put on my head phones so I can focus on the process and do the best job possible. 32:10 - Photos And Video Of The Dent Sent By Text Or Email Is The Best Way To Start The Bid Process for PDRThe bid process typically starts with a photo or a video sent to your PDR specialist, and once you have a bid, many PDR specialists will come to you to work on your car at home or to repair your car in the parking lot or garage where you work. 33:50 - Do DIY Dent Pulling Kits Sold Online Or At The Local Auto Parts Store Actually Work? There are certain car projects people should try to do themselves and there are plenty of YouTube videos and other resources that one can use to complete those DIY projects, but the idea that someone with little or no skill repairing dents on painted metal will try paintless dent repair on their own and make it look good at the end is a little crazy.

Born and raised in Omaha NE Andrew aka Andy McCormick witnessed both his parents get let go after spending years climbing the corporate ladder. Andy, like most of us, would follow that same path for a bit, working in the automotive industry specializing in collision repairs. He saw an opportunity to work less hours and make more money if he switched to Paintless Dent Repairs (PDR), so being the resourceful guy that he is, Andy used the first time home buyer's stimulus check when he bought his 1st personal residence in 2008 to pay for his Paintless Dent Repairs certification. Though it proved to be very lucrative for him, that wasn't enough to justify the amount of work Andy had to do to maintain the business. Enter Real Estate Investing. I'm 2016, Andy decided that he wanted to flip foreclosures. After attending a few auctions he secured his first auctioned house that would launch his investing career. Today, Andy owns 18 single family rentals, has flipped and still flips multiple homes and operates 2 self service car washes. Andy's Failing Forward reminds us of the importance of proper due diligence, especially when buying foreclosures as they tend to have all kinds of surprises that could be the difference between success and failure on a project.

I found a web scraping tool called Octoparse that works great for scrapping e-commerce information.  It's very easy to use and you can follow all the steps in this video.  Give it a try and let me know what you think.  I just created a new post What is Paintless Dent Repair, Answers to Frequently Asked Questions and I wonder if I can use Octoparse to collect PDR images that I can use for the post?  I will have to find out.   Welcome back to Casey's SEO, so this is an update from my previous episode, where i was trying to find a good scraping tool for a potential project that i may get into here in the future. So basically, i wanted to add a like a woocommerce site to my WordPress website that i currently have right now and i was just trying to think of what is a easier way to do this. So if i did go into this little project, it's probably going to be more of an affiliate type of site. So it's none of my own products. I can basically take all these products off of somebody else's site and potentially put the vote, put them on mine and sell them. That is for details later on, and i will get into that if i go this direction in the future, but i didn't want to spend hours and hours doing all this manual labor to potentially put up like a thousand different items. So i wanted to find a way to scrape this information, so it would make it a lot easier. Now i did find a cool little piece of software. That almost did everything that i wanted it to do. It's not the software's fault and we'll get into that. But i found octoparse so on the previous episode, i put up a link that had multiple different um pieces of software that you could potentially use. All of them are a little bit different. I tried a different one. I cannot even remember the name, but it wasn't going to fit my needs. Then i kept doing a little bit more research on the old web interweb here and i found octoparse that actually solved all my problems, so you can go ahead and download this. You can use everything for free, the only part that i noticed um, where you could get yourself into a little problem to where it's not free is. It goes and saves all the tasks that you do and you only get. I think 10 tasks that you can save at once, but just go ahead and delete them, and then you can use 10 more. So you won't have a problem but, like i said, free to use it's a separate piece of software, so you'll download it from their website and i will put the link up under the post here but go ahead, download it and then you can basically take any Type of website that you want the website that i tried to scrape to begin with was using shopify and they had their images set up differently. So their images like, if you scrolled over them, they got larger and I've noticed before with this website. They're kind of a pain in the butt to take off of their website on some of them. I would have to actually use like uh snagit from was it techcrunch or camtasia the company that makes camtasia, and then i would just basically screenshot them and cut them and add them edit them and use them. So i was not able to get a link to the image off of there, but you can still scrape all the other information so that one didn't work. But i tried it on a different website that i don't know what shopping cart they were using, but it gave you all the links to all the images all the the titles it gave you all the information that would give you. You know a 90 percent head start now. What you can do is when you get all those images all the image links you can use. I haven't done this yet, but i think you can use a program from chrome and it shows you how and this other link that I'm going to be posting for you and you can just put all the links in there and then it will download all the Images for you, so you have all those to your disposal right away. So pretty simple! It should save you a lot of time if that's something that you're looking to do but definitely checked out, octopars, and my guess is: if you need it to go way in depth and scrape a lot a lot of content, i mean you can pay for one Of their other packages, but for me the free version worked, i got everything i needed and then, if i do go into this little other project, i will definitely let you guys know if it was just thought and i wanted to see what piece of software out There would work for this little project, so that is it for today. If you guys have any questions or know anything else from the software standpoint. That would work great, please. Let me know 

Everyone needs to download Yoast SEO if you are using WordPress.  Yoast allows you to keep track of your SEO for each page/post that you create.  It will tell you what you should be doing and how to fix any mistakes that you made.  If you want to take your SEO a step further, you can download the Yoast Premium version.  If you want to get this version and other awesome plugins you can find them on Woocrack.  I have been using Yoast SEO on my Paintless Dent Repair website for a while now and I love it.    Welcome to Casey's SEO today i want to talk about one plugin, specifically, that i use for my WordPress website and that is Yoast .well.com, but that's where we're going to be getting it from, but it is Yoast SEO. So this plugin, I'm sure you've heard of it. If you've been around WordPress before, but it's kind of the quintessential plugin that you're going to need for your SEO helps you do basically a little bit of everything, and it reminds you if you did or did not do what you are supposed to be doing. For your SEO, so they have a free version. All you have to do is download that, from your add new plugin in your plugin section on your WordPress site, but I'm not necessarily going to be talking about this free version. So I'm going to teach you how you can get the premium version, which is better for a fraction of the cost. So if you want the premium version and you buy that from Yoast.com you're going to be spending ninety dollars a year. But years ago i found this website called woo crack and you can go ahead and download honestly thousands, probably ten thousand plus dollars worth of plugins for a very, very cheap price for one year right now it is 29. If you want to buy it, a lifetime is 49. So the only difference between these plugins and the plugins that you would buy directly from the creators or you don't get the support and you may not actually get the automatic updates either. The updates are there once they come out, but you just might have to download them from the website and then re-upload them in order to get that update now. The reason why they're so cheap is well, you don't get the support, but i believe i looked into this before and i think this is just like the general um yeah. I forget the word I'm looking for okay, so all plugins and themes are 100 original GPL license. So there's not a cracked version, so they can be doing this now. I bought this i think four or five years ago and i think i paid five dollars. It was for a lifetime, so the price has gone up a few dollars since then, but there are so many great plugins on this website and for the price you cannot beat it, but within this premium version you can add more focus, keywords, keyword, phrases it just Takes a step further looking at the sheet here, so we have so we got just trying to look keyword, optimization yeah, so you can use more keywords compared to just the one with the free version. You have multiple available, multiple languages. If that's what you need, you have that um just looking through all right, so we have internal linking suggestions and this is in the premium version now. I have tried this for some reason: it's not working on my website. My guess is it's. Maybe i have something set up incorrectly, but either way I'm not too disappointed that that's not working, but then you got internal linking blocks content insights. The redirect manager is actually pretty nice. So, for example, if you create a page and you accidentally misspelled the URL or something like that, you can go ahead. Keep that page and just redirect it very easily to the new page and that actually will save you quite a bit of time compared to what you might have to uh or have done in the past. So you can focus keyword, export and it says this ad free, so i guess the free version. Well, yeah! You have ads from them trying to sell you upgrades, but so there's just so much more that you can do with that premium version either way make sure you download that free version you can get that pre that premium version for a fraction of the cost. If you would like, and if you sign up for that, will crack you can get video SEO for the WordPress plugin local SEO, you have the news SEO, which that is for your google news. If you have google news feed and those are actually pretty easy to get, i got. I have one of those for my site we'll go into that later, but then you have the Woocommerce SEO plugin also, so you get a bunch of different things off of blue crack, which again I'm going to leave the link in the description. So if, if you're into SEO, you want to learn a little bit more about SEO, either way just make sure you don't necessarily have to download the green light on all of it, some of it's kind of hard to get the green light. In order to make your content sound, like you want it to sound, but either way, i hope you guys enjoyed this episode. I will be back soon with another plugin that you guys will enjoy if you're into ads. So until next time you guys have a great day, and if you have any questions, please let me know you.

Chris and Dave go over the sales breakdown for Dentless Touch in the month of November. You will be able to hear how the majority of sales are acquired and where they come from. We break down November into a couple of main categories with sub categories to give us a grand total at the end of the month.

Tune in as we explore some new options for a retail location for Dentless Touch. We go through the beginning stages of what it takes to find, relocate, and purchase a new building. 

We go over the new aesthetic warranty from Transparent Vehicle Warranty. Parent owner Glassparency brings us a new take on vehicle reconditioning coverage. We go in depth on how this new package allows business owners and vehicle owners to come together. 

 We go over some of Zan's favorite tools that he uses to glass out these tough repairs. Zan resides in Slovenia where the work lifestyle of PDR is different. We go over some of the differences that he experiences as a master technician. 

We go over all of the little details that made the hail storm that hit our area, run as seemless as possible.

We go over some neat little tips and tricks to help you and your PDR business run more efficent.

Part 2 The dealership setting up the deal negotiating writing the estimates handling insurance making sure there was proper count reassuring everything will be handled starting cars without knowing the final number finding a shop coordinating bodies to come and push without knowing the count of cars multiple accounts needing PDR service for hail damage

First thing we did was find out the area of which the storm hit. Which may consist of physically traveling to the area and surveying possible dealerships or parking lots for damage. You can then receive a rough guesstimate on how many cars will be on the ground ready to work on within the week. Typically after that the next couple of days will be your accounts service in that area calling. If you don’t have any in that area then you are trying to promote your name in that area. A lot of shops or dealerships will be looking for companies to service their cars.

Check out what we feel you should do before hiring your first employee for your PDR company

We go discuss how you can properly use Instagram for your business which will help drive sales. We found an article that reviews 10 ways to help utilize Instagram. https://www.socialmediaexaminer.com/instagram/

You can check out the article we went over here: http://appliedcolors.com/so-what-do-car-dealers-think-of-their-vendors.html

Why Wholesale Is King Monetary benefits - With multiple accounts, wholesale can lead to a day to day steady flow of income Conveience Aspect - When dealing with multiple wholesale accounts, there is little time for other avenues. It allows for a technician or a company to deliver the most value possible to there dealerships that they service. There is a cadence that will naturally progress and accounts can easily be serviced 1 -2 times a week. Sometimes 5 days a week of the volume allows Time - Wholesale allows for flexibility within a technicians schedule, where as long as they are there on the day they say they will be, everything will most likely run smooth Growth Potential - If servicing many wholesale accounts, it allows for a larger volume of work to flow through the company which will naturally bring more money in. This steady flow of income from multiple dealerships will allow a company to gain revenue sometimes quicker than strictly a retail setting. Stability - It possibly easier to grab 1-2 cars from a wholesaler than to close 1 -2 retail sales
