We created this class after doing dozens and dozens of trainings all over the country, online, and at trade shows. This course is a virtual learning experience that is perfect for any technician looking to learn more about Glue Pull Repair (GPR). GPR is a technique that has bridged the gap between Autobody and PDR (Paintless Dent Repair) technicians. This method allows technicians to pull dents, dings, and damage using specialized tools for aluminum and steel without welding or drilling holes. GPR yields more repaired panels, and fewer replacements. It is proven to be the least invasive repair method for automotive damage, which is why we put this course together for YOU. With over 13.5 hours of content, there is something for you to learn in this course.
