What should I do this week before the tenant moves out?
Photograph the truck from several angles before any repair starts. Capture the fender dent, any broken glass, damaged lights and chipped paint. Then have a pro inspect the fender in person, since PDR depends on whether the panel can be reached from behind.
Will paintless dent repair work on this fender?
PDR works only when the paint is still intact and the technician can reach the back of the dent. If the paint is cracked, chipped or the metal is sharply creased, conventional body repair is usually needed instead. Ask the pro for a written assessment of whether the panel is a PDR candidate.
What should I check before hiring a mobile dent technician?
All contractors doing business in Nebraska must register with the Nebraska Department of Labor. Confirm the technician operates as an independent contractor and check the state registration list. Ask for proof of insurance before booking.
What credentials can I ask about?
Renters and managers can ask about credentials such as Vale Certified Master Craftsman or Arc Hail Repair Master Technician. Ask the pro to show the certificate. Keep copies of the quote and the before-and-after photos for the deposit file.
