    We’re two detailers sharing what we’ve learned in the auto detailing world, and in this episode we sit down with Nolan from True North Dent Repair. Nolan tells us how he moved from detailing into full-time paintless dent repair and how detail shops can work with a PDR tech to offer customers more under one roof. We also talk about hail damage, mobile work versus having a shop, and why honest estimates and customer trust matter.
