hi, i hope this helps abit. i have about $2,000.00 worth of tools(rods, accs., lights, etc.)the training i was able to get the dealership i work at to pay for, cost about $2,000 also.we do retail work for customers as well as maintain the used vehicles on the lot. it can be very lucrative but there is also alot of people getting into it. stay away from dent wizard. they make you sign a no compete contract. they supply your tools but if you quit you don't keep them and can't go on your own. i train at auto cosmetics in toronto ontario, canada. very thorough and well knowledged. do research on the net, before you make a final decision. deal with a good company in case you need to return tools. the ones i have have a lifetime guarrentee. i had a very bad experince with superior auto institue from california. they have a very bad rep on ebay so watch who you deal with. it will take alot of hard work and practice but it can be good for you. good luck

There are all kinds of programs out there. Go to google and type in "PDR Training" and you'll get a hundred companies that offer it. Its kind of expensive to get started with it. Just the right tools alone can cost upwards of $2000. Since PDR is something that requires a little more training than just reading a book, the startup costs of a business like this can be kind of high. Not as high as starting a store front business, but its still a substantial number. Most of the training programs I've seen require you to go to them and spend 7 days in class learning the tricks of the trade. Training like that is probably around two or three thousand dollars. To give you an example, Detail King offers a 3 day course just on auto detailing. No PDR training is offered. That three day course costs $1800.
www.rightlook.com is someplace you might want to look. I know they offer PDR kits as well as training. I don't remember the prices for training off the top of my head, but I think you can expect it to be a couple thousand dollars. Its worth it if you do it though. A door ding on my car cost $60 bucks for a PDR place to take out. It took them 5 minutes and they made $60 bucks. That's what I call a high hourly rate. Imagine setting up in front of a car wash or gas station and offering to pull dents for X amount. You could really make a nice haul.
