We brought Tom into our body shop to train the team on PDR skills. Our techs received excellent training and are looking forward to using the new skills to enhance our service offerings. I would highly recommend Ding King for your staff. 

Business response:

My wife and I have a recon business and I was excited to ad PDR to our list of services. I had a rough time with school so I was understandably nervous to take this class. Tom is an extraordinary instructor who teaches not only from his knowledge, but from his passion for helping people. If only I could have afforded more time away from our shop, I would have benefited from longer than the 10 days I was there.

What makes this school special. At first I doubted that I could do this since I have no experience in this field. But just in a couple of weeks I feel confident enough to do the job! It was fantastic!! Even my limited language was not a problem to understand the information and enjoy the class. Tom was very into his class and made it very enjoyable, always willing to help students. The material portioned appropriately. He was very knowledgable and he made it easy to grasp the concepts. By far one of the best instructors I ha... read more

Chase was great. It is easy to see at the end of the course why some of the repeatative exercises were done in the beginning. My questions were answered completely and I look forward to more practice to perfect what I learned. The best way to describe Chase Clark is a very knowledgeable guy who knows his craft and explains it well.

I just took the two week pdr course and very happy that I did. Tom is a great instructor and teaches every area of pdr that you would run into. I do auto body for a living and found the class to be challenging and I am excited to work dents in a whole new way. Thanks again Tom.

Just finished a 3 weeks and 2 days for PDR, small repair on bumpers, wheel repair, and windshield repair. Never thought I could do all this areas but Tom explains everything nice and smooth. It has been a great experience to learn more then I know in the car business. Thanks for Tom I can do all of this thing to help the company I work for. Thanks Tom for all your help. I recommend this for a very excellent carrier. 

Business response:

You sure learned a lot while with Ding King and Tom dialed you in big time. So happy you enjoyed your training and I wish you all the best with your newly learned skills. Remember that "Practice Makes Perfect". Todd

The instructors really know their stuff! They take it step by step and provide a solid foundation for each student to comfortably ease into the trade of PDR! Chase is a great instructor in Greenville and I look forward to a refresher course in the future! 

Business response:

well was never in this field and it was presented to me and so i took the challenge to learn a new trade. I was shown and learned a lot on the hands on training, lots of practicing to get comfortable with tools and locations of the dents. I feel confident on to going out in the real world and pursue this new trade and make money.
