Estimating is one of the most important skills a PDR technician can learn — and one of the easiest places to lose money.

In Episode 30 of PDR Universe, Žan Vidic and Zeeshan discuss how to estimate Paintless Dent Repair for parking dents, larger damage and hail-damaged vehicles.

They cover dent size, aluminum, body lines, glue pulling, access, R&I, oversized hail dents, insurance estimating and how to communicate pricing when a repair carries additional risk.

Žan also explains the retail PDR estimating system used at ASIS to create more consistent pricing based on dent size, repair hours and difficulty factors.

Topics include:

• PDR estimating
• Paintless Dent Repair pricing
• Hail damage estimates
• Parking dent pricing
• Aluminum repair pricing
• Oversized hail dents
• R&I charges
• Insurance estimates
• Dealer vs retail pricing
• Avoiding undercharging
• Pricing difficult repairs
