Join us for our first episode of Virtual Pit Stop! This is a series where we talk about repairs, viral videos, or videos YOU submit! This episode we have a repair submitted by James Harris (https://youtu.be/KRUt60QjkR0?si=-cF20QqF-YMbwUoi) where he tackled a big dent on a 2021 BMW M4. Speaking of big damage, Gene also talked about the Brice Kelly Rivian repair that he just shared about a week ago. That was INSANE (https://youtu.be/nnI-RI2IEzQ?si=UaE9IGrM0HNNh5Sl). Finally, we talked about how incredible the new Anson glue guns are (https://ansonpdr.com/products/tec-820-12-industrial-glue-gun?_pos=15&_sid=b90467766&_ss=r).

In this weeks show, Gene talks about the 2024 PDR Expo in Las Vegas, Nevada. We talk about the show and how it compared to last year. We also name all the winners and runners up for the beginners competition as well as the dent trials competition. We also go over tools from KECO, Willey Quick, VIP, Anson, and Dent Gents.
In this episode we have Hudson Tansey from Dent Gents talking about his new glue tabs that he made in a collaboration with KECO Body Repair Products as well as his Chocolate Thunder Glue that he made in collaboration with Anson PDR. We learn where the ideas for the tabs and glue came from, kind of what it looked like to bring his idea to market. We also talk about a great tech tip to help protect the backside of panels that don't have any protection from scratching with traditional PDR tools. He also gives us a great book recommendation Crucial Conversations.
Hudson Tansey from Dent Gents in Texas joined us for the second episode of the ChatGPR bonus series. After months of development with KECO Body Repair Products, Tansey was able to innovate new tabs and glues to help auto body repair professionals get quicker, tighter pulls. He also dives into his strategies for tackling nasty body line dents.
Big Dent Dave (BDD), otherwise known as Dave Schaulat, sat down with us to share some insights into the automotive reconditioning industry. Schaulat also shared his PDR experiences, how he got started with KECO training, and advice for techs who are just getting into glue pull repair (GPR). Fun Fact: Dave was one of the first people to bring Gene into the training space! Without him, AAI would not be where it is today.
