This is done with this tool
How they work if you are interested, you will find in another article.
Cost of work
Prices for services vary greatly, starting from the place where you live and ending with the experience that you have gained. If 4 years ago there were very few repair workers and they resembled more wizards who can use a miracle tool to fix a dent without breaking the factory paint coating, now there are many masters, although the quality of their work leaves much to be desired. Now I will tell you the average prices on the market with an example in several countries, but the price for the service for a novice master will be 2 times lower, and for a professional who values his work 2 times more! But the master will take on a more complex project and make it so that you do not understand where the dent was.
Prices for services:
Australia: Complex project- 400$ / 4 hours . Simple project – 250$ / 1-2 hours
Germany: 450$ / 4 hours . Simple project – 270$ / 1-2 hours
Russia: 250$ / 6 hours . Simple project – 50$ / 1-2 hours
USA: Complex project- 400$ / 4 hours . Simple project – 250$ / 1-2 hours
Canada: Complex project- 400$ / 4 hours . Simple project – 250$ / 1-2 hours
Do not forget that these prices are average in the market, each master is valued for his experience.
Entry threshold:
To get started, you need a decent room where you can safely walk around the car, as well as a set of equipment. Ideally, you need to be able to wash the car, but if anything, you can send people to the car wash.
The basic repair tool kit consists of:
Hooks for straightening dents. A good set of hooks costs from $ 300 for a small set and up to $ 2000 for a large set.
The lamp on the suction cup costs from $ 100 and up to $ 500 for the most improved model on a tripod. An article about how to choose the right lamp (here)
The glue system should be taken immediately with a large set. It costs about $ 100.
Training:
It is easier to learn from a master that you liked. So you are more likely to be able to see the essence of the work in real life. The disadvantage of this method is usually that the masters do not teach people from their city, so that newcomers do not compete in the future. Training in firms is as loyal and soft as possible, and also costs much more. But for their money, they provide housing and comfortable training conditions. The cost of the course is on average from $ 500 to $ 1000.
Total:
The PDR niche has a very large entry threshold. If you do not have a room, or there is no opportunity for a very low price to buy it, then the task will not be easy. If you put the factors of constant price dumping on the part of newcomers, failures during the first year of work (which will definitely be due to lack of experience), payment of payments for the premises, then it is not clear how to enter this niche at all and survive in it. But this is actually PDR, it is quite a good investment, if you do not spend the last earned money, but play with a goal for the distant future.
The whole tool is extremely tenacious and buying a set of hooks, it will serve you for a very long time. And if you approach your business wisely, then in a year you will no longer need to think about another type of service. Start running Instagram and even YouTube, and do your best to promote through recommendations. Master the methods of online advertising and customers will always catch up to you. The main thing when they come to you, you must do the services at the highest level.
PDR repairs in 2021 may generate revenue, but it has certainly become much more difficult to start. Count the numbers of this business yourself, because everyone has their own financial situation in the life of a person. The main thing is to turn on your head and do everything wisely and then everything will work out.
