You guys are magic… as a former mechanic… I totally respect the difficulty of this and it almost makes me want to try it out… that shit looks very stressful though😂🤣
Save the leftover hair you got old timer, as a 22 year old this shit takes forevvverr. Not to mention all the twists and uncomfortable positions you have to do to get the tools behind the panels.
It’s very fkn stressful 🥲
500 tho narr
Huge respect for your craft and your level of skill in it!
Thanks!
In shorts it's like pure magic but when you said it's 2 hours. That magic is hard and precise work
Mike your a bad man with this, I'm on weeks 5 of pdr training and can't wait to do these ones
Congratulations and keep on and thanks for watching! 😆👊
Ketok magic jadi seperti ini yaa. Hebat !!! ❤
Just got a dent like this on my new truck. I just got done telling my kids to be careful opening the back door, then i opened my door right into our other car's side mirror 🤦♂️. One of my dad's car buddies has a PDR business and I watched him repair it on my truck (very similar technique as this video) and it truly is an art. This is definitely something I would never try myself!
😆 👍
Had a dent almost identical to this one in the video on a 2019 Audi door panel. Audi sheet metal in certain areas seems really thin compared to SUVs and trucks from Ford or others, but I was able to use the hot gun repair method with the pdr puller and pdr slide hammer. Spent about 40 minutes on it, and it's 93% gone and nearly unnoticeable unless you know where to look. All for a first-timer with a $35 Amazon kit.
For perfection, I'd definitely need $500 worth of tools like this video shows off. I'll live without them, though.
That's extremely expensive in riverside county is $100 dollars some one come to my house to fix my truck seme dent like this
If you compare your hundred dollar dent guy to myself doing 10 separate jobs on different vehicles that range from sharp dents to extreme dents, who do you think consistently will have the best quality overall rather than the cheapest price? Because that’s what we’re really talking about in the end aren’t we?
I’m learning to be a PDR tech and sheeesh is exhausting lol my eye sight gets stressed out too much and I’m always tired but it’s fun
🤯 i never woulda thought snaking thru next to the hatness to get behind a door. I would have taken all that extra time to pull the pannel and then maybe the window if i had to
I never dreamed you could unleash a dent that sharp
I fix same debt on my car on about 2 hours and I'm new to pdr, I'm just using Amazon tools nothing fancy to be honest I'm not saying all tool are goin to work properly but I did fix it, I guess I save me 500 hundred dollar of the 200 hundred invested I keep 300 hundred on my packed
@@Justliketolearn 👍👏💪
I was doing this for 20 plus years .In 2017 price would be $125 max
And you probably realized for decades you were underselling yourself because you knew you were worth more.
@@denttime agree, you are right 👍
@1NRARE you never learn to do professional work .
I had this done in 1999
And it was fifty dollars a panel Regardless how many dents crazy how much things cost today...
I got a guy that does mine for $75
Dent removal usually cost $100 tops in the UK and are normally done in 30 mins for most types. That one was deep though.
you are way too expensive my friend. Here in Chicago $150
We understand that budget is an important factor for many people when choosing a PDR repair service. At our company, we aim to provide high-quality, premium PDR services, and we believe that our prices reflect the level of expertise and craftsmanship that goes into each repair.
However, if cost is a concern, we may not be the best fit for your needs. We appreciate your interest and wish you the best in finding a solution that meets your budget and repair requirements
I’m sure in Chicago there’s also guys that charge what a top notch debt repair guy would charge…but you’ve only checked on the low end ones that do an okay job…can’t compare apples to oranges.
I worked along side a pdr guy for 2 years and it was taking him arround 20 min to get rid of a dent like that, not 2 hours but i guess depends on experience of the pdr guy
Justify 500$ 😂
I understand your concern lol but those lot pdr guys most of the time don’t get it to 100% if they do ( he’d have to be top 3%) then he wouldn’t be as profitable. But yeah 2 hours is a stretch, I guess it depends if it’s a job he have to travel to vs costumer coming to him. But still 500$ is a bit of a scary price for a customer that’s for sure 😅
In the UK i had 2 dents like these fixed for £80 and it took the guy 30 minutes tops
All the people saying this is too pricey havent done anything in their life. I own a bodyshop and bought a glue puller, the aluminum bridge puller and a set of pdr levers....nope. tried it multiple times. This is a skill few have. Granted the levers and the glue pullers make it easier on me for hard creases or little dents...i always end up cracking the paint. Pdr guys are like wizards
It's not about the tool, but it's about the skill
That's what she said
Hats off for this pro!
I want to tell you it looks easy but it’s NOOOOT. I have to tell you that bc I need to make $500.
😂 Exactly. I always heard that from detail and ceramic shops and as soon as I bought the tools, learned on TH-cam and took a couple classes, I never paid for detail. It's literally just about convenience. Not everyone wants to do the work so we pay for convenience
Ignorance is bliss, but in your case it would be expensive
@@kjartemisI guess your that one guy. Congratulations
@chrisginoc Cleaning a car is a lot different than PDR. My father has owned a body shop all my life. I'm in my 30s and PDR is still black magic to us. All the different tools and processes these guys learn over the years can be pretty impressive. We've shopped some work out to PDR and still made money on the job, but we mostly fix crashed vehicles that require extensive body work and paint.
@@johnnigro6426 Be sure and try it on your car and let us know how easy it is
🔥👍 отличная работа !
🙏
Spectacular job! What are the causes of this type of paint damage? I have something similar in my car but smaller, almost imperceptible and I don't know what they are due to
Great stuff Mike from team Sagitaurus Chris D Australia Cheers Mate
Thank you! Cheers back! 🍻
People really under estimate the time it takes to get this good and get it to look like nothing was ever there. I have done door dings and stuff like that for about 8 months and I am starting to do hail now but I can tell you I am no where near the Dent Wizard guy that comes out to the shop I have seen him save panels that we would have replaced. PDR is a great way to start a career that is rewarding, challenging, as well as fun. I learn something new every dent that I do and 350-500$ for a dent like this is definitely worth as you are paying for the tech's experience and knowledge as well as the time they spent investing in their tools and time spent doing the craft which a lot of people fail to realize.
$350-500. WTF....$90 in the `UK...
My clients aren’t looking for the cheapest mate. They look for the best. 😉
It’s like going to the dentist, who wants the cheapest dentist working on your teeth lol.
I regret that I didn't follow my dad in bodyshop repair.....I would have had an amazing career by now and also honor my dad of how he supported us through out the yeas.
Not too late. Don’t live in regret.
@@denttime
Thank you, that means a lot
SOOO EXPENSIVE!!!
Compared to what?
@@denttime Its a car panel not human being.
Compared to what?
300 is crazy bro ngl
Yes
Once again no business has to lower their pricing because or broke budget.
Man I can get a whole ass door for $500 off marketplace.
mfs jus be charging w they want nowadays
@1987FX16 yes but its usually a different color 😂 i would to if it was the same color
My fender had dents. Not this bad but decent.
I used a hammer and zip tied a rubber glove at the end and took my time and it came out amazing. You don’t always need special tools those prices are ridiculous
Do you also touch up paint ?
NICE. I'm in ENCINITAS. I've added your contact info. B een watching your shots but didn't realize you were local to me. Keep repeating your location info!
.
Very cool! Thank you.
Nice repair. Add some heat and repair time will be less.
Mike, do you have a shop in LA?
Sorry I don’t.
where could i learn this profession sir
Whats with the yamaha cymbal stand?
To hold the heat gun
$350-$500 is extremely expensive for 2hrs of work mate , no matter what a panel beater charges they've done 4 years of trying, most PDR techs learn on the job or at best do a 2 day course.
If you're skeptical about the value of my PDR services, I can let you borrow a tool and watch you attempt it. But let's be real, you'll end up with more dents than a golf ball. PDR is an art that takes years to master, not something you can pick up in two days like a cheap hobby. My 32 years of experience have taught me the magic of making dents disappear faster than Houdini. And unlike other panel beaters, I don't just cover up the damage with paint. I take pride in keeping the car's original factory paint and preserving its value. That's why my clients happily pay for my services - they know I deliver quality work that's worth every penny.
I need it badly lol… mine is like a 6” scratch down to the metal.. I don’t know if it can be fixed!! But if anyone can it would be you
You’ve got to be kidding…. If you want to trust your car to 2days of training be my guest. 2days of training lol…. It takes years to learn this craft…every car is built differently…. Dents in one area have completely access points then dents in others areas… different locations different sizes etc… education is key mate. This is not a 2day training and good to go trade. 2day training gives you basic fundamentals then the very very long road to actually learning the craft begins. 75% of people who start this trade quit and give up…. He makes it look easy because he put in the work and trust me there are years and years of experience that you cannot even fathom to get to his level. Mike is a true purest in his trade. I’ve been doing PDR since 95 and trust me… this guy is THE SHIT! Still learning a lot from watching his channel and I’ve been doing it for over 2 decades.
$350-$500. Your buggin.
You say that till you go to a bodyshop and pay 2500 to get it done
How do I start learning how to do this?
Too expensive, not sure if your ripping clients off or it's the regular market price for that service in USA. Here in Phils. they just charge php300.00 per dent!
Everyone knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.
magic！
What’s the light called?
This is one of those things that requires a lot of skill and practice, nice work.
i tried. its not easy
what is this type of light called?
원리를 보고 갑니다ㅡ궁금증이 해소되었어요
저는 자동차 도장라인에서 근무중입니다
한국 쌍용모터스
I have a very similar dent and I'm in SD. I'm going to reach out
I would like to know the pay scale difference from this to a body man like myself( dealer owned)
This is a one man show ,just like tennis. Bodyshop is like a team . A one man show like this one can make in a day what a bodyman makes in a week .
@@gostodemaisdaroca4052 that one is little far of a stretch for me, not saying my weekly hours i flag, but doing the math is over half a mil a year working 5 days a week.
I'm good with that mike 😂😂
$350-$500 for 1-2 hours god dayum
So you’d be willing to pay twice as much at a body shop that would take 5-6 times longer and not stay original?
Are you related to Alex Columbus.
I am not.
Just seeing this after a golf ball fell from the sky and hit my hood while driving.
Is there anybody you recommend in Orange County?
Not sure what car this is (Honda CRV?) but I’m estimating the outer door panel costing around 500 with the full shell costing maybe 1000 dollars.
How is the cost for repairing this small sharp dent justified?
I understand your concern about the pricing of Dent Time's PDR services. However, our technique maintains the originality and value of your vehicle, and we provide a quality of service that cannot be matched by cheaper alternatives. Our mobile services also offer convenience and save you time. Overall, the investment in our PDR technique is worth it for the long-term value and quality of your vehicle's repairs.
Just pay $1000 instead of $500. Just that simple.
Thanks for all the information. San Jose CA. 😭 so far
Wow, I'm surprised that a sorcerer is able to charge such a reasonable price with the recent hikes in the cost of materials like eye of newt and toad fingers.
Says save factory finish as if that’s something to brag about these days. New car paint sucks.
what's the name of that dent removal
The tool?
👍👍
I can’t get anyone to fix mine. Do you travel to Australia by any chance 😂
I got one of those in my door I wish you were in Canada lol
500 bucks 😂 oh boy. I mean, it"s the price, but still
500 dollars, you can buy a new door for that price!!
the skill is amazing but $200 an hour is stupid.
That's about the going price for one simple dent.
California dents are crazy expensive wow
I resect your craft but 350 for an hours work is not worth it for me.
500$ 😂😂😂 just get a new door
Well, it appears that you've made a rather impulsive decision that may have unintended consequences. By replacing the door, you'll have to invest a significant amount of time and effort in ordering, prepping, and painting the new one, not to mention the hassle of removing and reinstalling it. Furthermore, by blending it into another panel, you'll be sacrificing the original factory paint, which could ultimately result in a less-than-desirable outcome. To put it succinctly, it seems you've cut off your nose to spite your face, my friend.
Tbh i wont pay anything more than 50 bucks
That dent is not as easy as it looks guys. Might be small but they are a pain in the ass
He says it may look simple, holy cow i thought the opposite.
$500 an hour? You must have gone to law school.
How much does something like this cost?
It’s good but it’s too expensive . This magic will work till people will learn that actually you can fix it for less than 140 $ with spray cans . It’s all about exercising and get the experience.
Painting IT over isnt fixing it 😂
They do this for 10-20$ in my country.
Name of the tool that goes between brace and skin?
I’ll do it 10-15 minutes for $90
500 bucks nice in germany i take 50€ 😂
If anything is around $400, you're being Ripped Off and can do it yourself
Genius idea. 💡
I have one on my fridge. Stainless steel
Luv to learn this amount of cars in england with dents never seen this b4 fantastic work pal
Thanks mate.
A you come to Strasbourg France ??
250 dollar labor hour plz. Your no a rocket scientist . Your price needs to come down .
It seems to me you know the cost of everything but the value of NOTHING.
Do you know anyone in Portland Oregon I can find to do this ?
Mike. I need your phone or contact information. I living in San Diego have a vw atlas
Denttime.com thanks
So you make $1000+ per day. Wow!
hi, what do you call that tool, the light bro?
That’s easy like riding a bike
$350 is pretty much the top dollar for what I’d pay for this, with the mobile service. That’s a fair price. But I’d only do it on a new vehicle cause my older vehicles aren’t getting a dent fixed haha
I saw another dude on here charged 2500 for a similar dent shit is such a rip like it might not be easy but it’s definitely not that hard
Believe me. It’s the hardest thing I’ve done and 1 out of 10 people who think it’s easy.. fail miserably at it.
500 dollars for a dent?
Come on
Good work mike. Hey, from Connecticut!! My cousins, aunt, and uncle live in Escondido. Beautiful place. My father is there now. Do you know the HEARTS. or heard of valley camper sales?
Shame your not in England 😢
Still kind of saw it lol
500 jajaja forge it
In my country (indonesia) this kind of service call "ketok magic".
The fee usually around $50 - $250 depend on damage on the car.
I don’t sell cost. I sell value. Unfortunately selling how cheap you are is a race to the bottom for any business.
@@denttime our country has different value of money my friend. $50-$250 is about half month salary here (For Local People). While another country u can get around 100-200 buck in one day.
@@denttime please don't get triggered by how much money spent for these service in our country compared with your price.. like my friend above said... we have different value of money.
anyway fyi "ketok magic" in English is "magic knocks". pretty much fits the name..
Never trust Auto body repair mobile ( unless u know them)
I paid $600 Cash for just surface painting on Tacoma which is everything was ready ,
Very bad job didn't use compressor and not even flat ,he didn't even complete his job.
He never responds my phone calls and text
Sane thing happens to my friend at different states.
That sound like those stalking parking lot dent Gypsies. A real mobile and professional PDR company doesn’t do that. They have a website, real business with a business license. Always check a companies reputation.
@@denttime you are correct.
Doesn’t look easy
that’s drum set hardware
$500?!? No thank you, I'm fine with that tiny dent.
Yeah this is stupid. Just wait until you need a paint job. Or just buy a car without a dent. In no universe am I paying money for a dent like that.
That's amazing how expensive a work time in USA is. That's is a 3-4 days salary for some countries.
Yamaha cymbal stand!!!
To release the pressure 🤣
