@konradolek4870 Жыл бұрын
Amazing work as always, I've got a question perhaps you could answer. See, today was my first time trying PDR, glue pulling was straighforward no problem, but HOW do you know where to APPLY your pdr rod to fine tune the dent? The dent was so small i couldnt really feel it under my finger tip and I couldnt really see where I am pushing with the rod either. The only thing I could think of is that the metal I was working on was loose on the table instead of being fixed into the car, so possibly I didn't have enough leverage to make the metal move/stretch much and therefore i wasn't able to see it. Big thanks for your work, it's truely inspiring and satisfying watching that metal morph, cheers!

That car was hit! Very repairable though. Time consuming. I’d plan for 1 1/2-2 days. Without seeing the sides and just going off the top of my head not looking at an estimate sheet (since the damage on the estimate sheet would probably put you at replacing panels instead of repairing them) I’d say somewhere between 6-7k to repair. Not a bad 2 days though. I love hail. The cars always come out sweet and the money is amazing. I enjoy your videos. Mainly the large complex glue pull ones since that’s what I’m doing too. Keep up the good work!
@edwardli89382 ай бұрын
$6-7K would total out most cars worth under $10,000. I am hoping a PDR expert would not charge $6000 for 2 days work.
@bradburtrand15272 ай бұрын
@@edwardli8938 well I work for a big company and have given hundreds of estimates on hail. The problem is working for a large company you get less than 50% of what you bill. I’d gross around $2400 of that and then pay taxes. I agree this amount would total that car but something more expensive, no. Hail is good money. The average hail tech makes between 200k-350k per year and a lot of them only work 9 months out of the year. I choose to work for dealerships and not concentrate on hail because I’d be away from my family all year. This job pays well because not too many guys can do it. It’s a tough line of work

@@edwardli8938he’s saving this car in the video from being totaled because he bought the car and wants to repair it to sell it and make money. . Did you actually watch the video? That car was smashed and yes 6-7k to fix it is about right. Don’t doubt my estimates. I’ve done hundreds if not thousands of hail estimates. You don’t know what you’re talking about as far as estimates. Any Pdr tech would agree with me on my estimates and some may be higher than mine

It really depends on the size of the dents and the amount . With Smaller dents the dent hog will blow through a roof pretty quickly using a soft tip.
