Trust Your Technician - Signs of a Dent Repair Scammer

 

Trust Your Technician

Chances are you have plenty of options for dent repair technicians to complete the repair and if you’re reading this we can only assume your vehicle is important to you. It’s of utmost importance to research the company and read their Google and Yelp reviews before scheduling any service. Working in the industry, we hear of unexperienced mobile technicians biting off more than they can chew quite often, leaving you with a butchered, more expensive repair.

What could be worst than inexperienced techs? Scammers that haven't repaired a dent in their life! As you can see in the video below; these scammers are known to lurk in parking lots or at stop lights and prey on unsuspecting victims. They often cause the dent themselves (if there isn't one already) and will walk up as you approach your vehicle.

Then comes the pitch; they'll have some story along the lines of 'I watched someone cause this dent and leave so I decided to wait for you. I actually own a dent repair business and wanted to help you out, I could come by today or tomorrow for the repair and you'll never know the dent was there.'

Signs of a Dent Repair Scammer

There is also another variation of these dent repair scams, the original being a poser with no tools or dent repair experience at all and the other will seem like legitimate PDR technicians who will (attempt to) repair the dent that they caused to begin with. These con-artists are creating their own work by purposely denting the vehicle while you're inside shopping only to then offer you a 'discount' for paintless dent removal.

If you are considering mobile dent repair for your ride here are a few red flags to be on the lookout for:

- If the technician approaches you; it is our suggestion to do more research than normal on the company in question.

- If a quick Google search doesn't fill up the first page of results with information about their business, consider another.

- If they ask for payment before completing the repair; never pay until you are satisfied with the results.

- If the quoted price on the day of repair increases significantly; get a second opinion.
