Paintless Dent Repair: From Side Hustle to $180K/Year Solo Business

I learned PDR as a side hustle while working at a dealership.

The NexLvel Auto Body community had PDR specialists doing $250K/year solo.

1. Built a mobile PDR rig - $15K investment in van, tools, and lighting.
2. Partnered with 8 dealerships for on-site services.
3. Added hail damage repair - incredibly profitable seasonal work.
4. Created a simple booking website - eliminated 90% of tire-kicker calls.
5. Raised prices 3 times - from $75/dent to $125-200.

Year 2: $180K revenue, zero employees, working 4.5 days/week. The profit margin in PDR is incredible.
