The training was excellent. I did two weeks of the PDR training. I could not have asked for a better situation for me personally to be hands on and learning for the FULL two weeks. Chase was excellent and I would highly recommend the training!

Can't say enough good stuff about The Ding King. I've taken a lot training in my life and their training has been one of the best I've taken. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, they make you feel like family. With the addition of Mel Craig to their detail training it's a no brainer. You'll leave The Ding King with highly sought after skills and tools to start making money immediately. It's up to you to execute.

Simply the best place to learn. Ding King provided me me exceptional instruction. James, Sal and Koye are the best. If you are looking for PDR training or any of the programs rest assured you will receive elite training and will do so in the best environment. Couldn't recommend this place enough.

The Ding King Training Institute surpassed all expectations. The team is friendly and accommodating with all your needs. This is the place to go if you want to learn an all encompassing course for all your auto needs. Todd and his staff can help you with any of your post 9/11 questions and are the friendliest people you will ever meet.

I did two weeks of PDR training. They have a great training facility and the instructors are informative and knowledgeable. They will help you learn the PDR process along with other car care processes. I will be back for more training.

Everything I experienced during my PDR training was exceptional, however somethings deserve extra recognition : Instructor James Ramirez Small classes Hotel offers a shuttle to and from class Flexibility in class scheduling Cost of class/tools compared to others (HALF THE PRICE COMPARED TO SCHOOLS IN MINNEAPOLIS MN) Hands on training side by side with an experienced technician Real world situations, marketing, anything you need to know before you finish training and go off and start your own business No doubt in my mind that Ding King is the best vehicle reconditioning school period. Had a classmate from Canada if that tells you anything.

Amazing experience learning pdr. The training is very organized and staffs are very friendly and professional. Starting day one, we had hands on experience and one on one training when needed. Signed up for four weeks. I completed two weeks and will be back for two more weeks in few months after working on my own.

Wow, I brought my truck to Ding King to get dent removal and ceramic coating. I'm very impressed by how fast they were able to get me on schedule and perform an amazing job. In case your wondering, this place certifies individuals to go off and start debt removal businesses of their own. The bottom line is that I brought my baby (truck) to the Mr. Miyagi of paint correction and dent removal. These guys rock and I'll definitely recommend anyone to go here. Thanks Ding King

The owner himself Todd was quick to respond via email as well as being friendly, courteous, and welcoming in person. I got my ding repaired while other students watched and learned from James (one of the instructors) techniques. I definitely will go here again and I thank them for being very efficient and on-point! Thank you again!

So happy I took this class with these instructors. Although I have hardly any experience with vehicles besides driving, the instructors were experts not just in their craft, but also in making me feel at ease and that I also could learn this skill. With lots of hands on time I now can use the tools and with more practice I know I will be able to be very productive and love what I do. Very professional and they are members of the better business bureau so I know they are very ethical in their business practice

Employer sent me here to learn basics of PDR. There really is no other way to learn PDR unless you have a foundation, then it's practice and more practice. You won't have that foundation unless you come here! James and Sal are great hands on trainers who will work with you independently to make sure you get a great start in the business of PDR. Also Todd! Amazing guy to hear his start up! I plan on staying in touch!

Our company placed our trust with the owner Todd and spent the $10,000 for the full week course. Todd was great until after the 2nd day at school when he had our money.then he provided little to no personal attention. His promise was one-to-one instructing, however, we had over 15 students and only two instructors in a small confined garage. They rent cars from a local/major car rental company and make, dents, creases, drills holes.etc. for the PDR practice without the rental company knowing which questions their business ethics.

The lead instructor spent most of his time texting on his cell phone during class. Their tools are cheap compared to others. The up-front marketing/sales is what this company is all about, once in the program the training quality is poor. PDR is very tough to master with a very small percentage of success where people can make a living. If you want to learn PDR look elsewhere for better schools and read the reviews! Talk to other PDR techs that know the business, most know PDR school reputations (Ding King). I only want people to educate themselves so they don't loose thousands!

Great school with informed instructors that have worked in the field! Everything was top notch from the hotel and flight reservations to the training facility. Met some great people there in the same field and learned a lot. James and Cher were above and beyond awesome. 5 stars!

CLASS ACT! Impressed by how down to earth and approachable everyone was from ALL the instructors to executive staff. The founder's heart is in the right place and it shows from the top down. Impressive teacher to student ratio, too. Obviously, doing something right to be in business for 23 years running!

Sometimes you find professionals with class that are fair and straight out do business the right way. Todd and his staff exceed any possible expectations. The facility is impeccable and the work is so well done. It was a privilege to see your staff do what they do! Please do not hesitate to utilize this amazing business.

I just completed a two week PDR class and I couldn't be happier. I had 4 great instructors who were right there helping me with anything I needed. James thank you sir. And Marcelo and SAL and Shawn I can't wait to show you pics of some of my work. I got to fix dents on about 15 different types of cars accessing all types of dents like hail, door sings and some really big stuff.

I loved the glue pulling the best as it was the easiest to do quick repairs. Thank you to Todd the owner who discounted my package for me not needing air and hotel that they include. Great staff. Great support. Love these guys. My entire class was great with the exception of one cat that came to school drunk or hungover. He was a distraction and was asked to leave and then things got better. Thanks for everything. 5star review all the way.

Great training course. Each and every staff member was friendly, fun, knowledgeable, and accommodating. I definitely recommend the two week course, it's nice to have that extra input while practicing. It's 99% hands on with small class sizes. The hotel they use was also a nice luxury experience. I'd highly recommend Ding King training!

I had a "Five Star" experience at The Ding King Training Institute! I love my instructors and got to work on several cars repairing hail damage, door dings and some pretty big dents. I had James and Marcelo over my shoulder guiding me the entire time. The training program was very structured and professional and I would highly recommend Ding King to anyone looking to learn PDR. My hotel was incredible and Todd the owner taught business and marketing to me specifically for the PDR business. High five to the entire staff at DK.
