#48 Techniques and Takeaways: My Two Cents On Training The All Access Podcast
Dec 15, 2025Training in Paintless Dent Repair has never been more accessible - yet more technicians than ever feel stuck.
In this episode of The All Access Podcast from Dent Repair Now, Gene Fetty breaks down the reality of PDR training: there is no perfect format, only the right fit for where you are and how you learn.
From one-on-one instruction to small group classes, seminars, and online education, each option has strengths and limitations. The biggest determining factor isn’t the format - it’s commitment.
Gene shares why:
-
Instructor connection matters more than delivery method
-
Online training is often blamed unfairly
-
Seminars are about momentum, not mastery
-
Real improvement comes from compounding small wins over time
The hard truth?
Most techs don’t fail because of bad training - they fail because they never fully commit to one path long enough to see results.
If you’re serious about improving your skills, increasing speed and quality, and making more money, this episode will help you choose your next move with clarity instead of frustration.
