I recently had the pleasure of collaborating with the team at Green Tech Collision Center in Upland, California to repair a 2022 Honda Accord that had been backed into in the driveway. The owner of the car knew he didn't want it repainted, since it was brand new, and so he did some research and found my videos showcasing the power of Paintless Dent Removal (PDR).
Why re-paint this beautiful, brand new car if it’s not absolutely necessary?
The Green Tech team has a state of the art facility and a Car-O-Liner frame machine, which I knew would be perfect for the job. It allowed us to restore the car's quarter panel and side to their original condition without the need to repaint.
The thin gauge sheet metal of modern vehicles can be very tricky to work with. The old days of simply sticking a PDR rod behind the panel and attempting to push large areas of metal back into shape are over. Instead, I used the advanced glue pull method to create tension perpendicularly and laterally to the dent, which proved to be the best way to cleanly move the metal back where it needed to go. This method is less likely to cause fatigue or overwork the metal, resulting in a cleaner repair overall.
I had a blast working with Nestor and the team at Green Tech Collision Center, and I couldn't be happier with the results of the repair. My client was thrilled to be able to retain his brand new vehicle’s original factory paint and resale value as a result of us “keeping the repair small”, as we say in the business. I’m sure there will be more frame machine/PDR collaborations in our future, so stay tuned!
I know now that I have completely crossed the threshold of full on geekdom with my trade. Perhaps all passion really is, is the mind's way of making it all tolerable. Or maybe I've just found my groove. I dig it. I hope you do too.
