Our Level Up PDR Training is designed for technicians who know how to push a dent but want to take their skills to the next level and learn how to tackle large damage. This class is limited to 10 people so that attendees can get the most out of their training. We take pride in the fact that our training is hands-on while being guided with skill demos from Gene Fetty and Žan Vidic, making it one of the best advanced courses out there!

Why Should I Level Up?
- Increase your finishing skills so you can charge more for the actual repair.
- Speed up repair times while increasing the quality.
- Learn tactics to close more jobs.
- Gain a competitive edge in your market by repairing larger damage that other people in your market won't tackle.
- Open doors to new bodyshops and dealerships.
- Work with and capture insurance claim jobs.
- Set your own prices on larger damage (did someone say ka-ching?)
- Your before and after photos on larger dents will stand out to customers way more than a door ding, which can lead to more jobs down the road.
- Learn how to save stretched dents.
- Continue learning after and join our alumni group.
Here's what other technicians are saying...
Charles Shane
I couldn't be happier with the way the class was run. I really learned a lot and bad habits were erased. Hopefully, I can continue on the right path and level up my PDR game.
Kevin Weiss
The amount of time it probably saved me in trying to figure out some of those skills on my own probably saved me five years of experience. Now, I can take what I learned and start applying it right away. I'll make that money back that I invested in a very short amount of time and I think if anything, it's saving me money, not costing me money.
Dan Rechichi
I have taken a few of his courses and I always find it intriguing how in-depth (it goes) and how easily Gene is able to explain the different processes.
