    Glue Pull Repair: The Next Big Thing in Collision Repair?

    Could Glue Pull Repair be the next big thing in collision repair? In this episode of the Auto Shop Marketing Pros Podcast, I sit down with Richie Powell of Coastal PDR Training to talk about Glue Pull Repair, or GPR, and why body shops and collision repair centers should be paying attention to this repair method. Richie has more than 26 years of experience in Paintless Dent Repair and shares how GPR has evolved from pulling smaller dents to repairing much larger collision damage. We talk about how Glue Pull Repair can help body shops save damaged panels, reduce cycle time, avoid delays waiting for replacement parts, and potentially get more vehicles through the shop. Richie also shares real-world examples, including a BMW quarter panel that was originally going to be cut out and replaced, as well as an aluminum rocker panel on a 2026 Ford Expedition. In both cases, GPR provided another option for repairing and saving the existing panel. We also discuss: • What Glue Pull Repair is and how it works• How GPR differs from traditional PDR• Why GPR matters for collision repair shops• Using Glue Pull Repair on aluminum• How GPR can impact body shop cycle time• How quickly experienced body technicians can learn GPR• Onsite GPR training for body shops• Where Richie believes Glue Pull Repair is headed• PDR and other training available through Coastal PDR Training If you own or manage a body shop, work in collision repair, or are a body technician looking for new repair methods, this is an episode worth checking out.
