Paintless Dent Repair And The Traditional Mindset


Paintless Dent Repair And The Traditional Mindset

Paul Fountain
2 May 2008


When a new and innovative process debuts on the market it will raise eyebrows. This is because many people will rush to this new innovation hoping that it will provide them with the missing piece of the puzzle that they have always sought. For example, if someone has ever shelled out significant money repairing a dent on their car they would probably be very interested in a new procedure that can radically reduce costs. This is human nature. We all want a better deal!

Then, there will be those individuals who may look at a procedure such as paintless dent repair with skepticism. This is probably because in their pursuit for a better product they may have been ripped off in the past. For example, they may have shelled out $19.95 (in five easy installments) for an item sold on an infomercial. Sadly, the product may not have delivered on anything that it promised. When they discovered getting a refund on the money they spent to be impossible, they were forever jaded. This means they may ignore future new and improved items and they stick with more expensive but proven options. But, this does not mean they are doing themselves any favors. In reality, paintless dent repair work is far from an overstated gimmick. In fact, it is a solid and reliable new procedure that does everything that it promises.

The reason that we can make such assessments with confidence is the fact that paintless dent repair has long since established itself in the marketplace as successful and reliable. That is to say, when a body shop offers the paintless dent repair procedure it isn't promoting a false gimmick. The repair shop can perform the procedure and perform it within the framework of what it promised. That is to say, when the work is finished on the car it is finished effectively. The dent is gone and the need for extensive body work is not required. Paintless dent repair delivers on exactly what it promised. The process is a legitimate one and many satisfied customers can attest to the validity of the repair work. Proof is in the work itself. There is no speculation necessary as to whether or not paintless dent repair actually works.

So, there is no reason to be suspicious of whether or not paintless dent repair work actually works. Of course, if you are unfamiliar with the procedure it would not hurt to do a little research on the subject. However, it would be foolish to casually dismiss the procedure out of hand because it is new. Remember, this is a very cost effective method of repair and seeking a traditional repair method will yield a great deal of unnecessary spending.

Performing a little due diligence never hurts. But, this means the consumer needs to actually look into things! Flippantly dismissing something because it is perceived to be a gimmick simply isn't the wisest recourse to take so always avoid such actions whenever possible!
