TEMPORARY Service Interruption (PDR Only) RE: StupidDent.Com

All,
It has been great being a vendor under i-club. I’ve been getting more appointments than I expected every week. Thanks to many of you advertise for me here in the forums. But as a result, I’ve taken a heavy hit in my personal schedule and health (mostly stress).

For those don’t know me, I have a normal 8-5 job and can only provide my services after 5pm and over the weekend. I also recently started to work at a body shop over the weekend to work on my dent repair skill as well as learning to do some minor body work. I wish my day job is not so demanding and is less stressful. Oh and being engaged doesn’t really help either. It’s a happy thing, but not an easy thing I say.

I feel bad that I am not able to fully repair some of the dents I’ve encountered and hate having to turn people away. But the truth is that I am still working on my skill and PDR is a lot more difficult than I expected. As I have posted in the beginning, I am really just looking for an opportunity from you folks to help me to improve my dent repair skill/experience. I do not want/like to disappoint people when they make an appointment with me, expect a full repair, and fail. Many of you understand and very willing to help and even pay when it’s not fully repaired. But not everyone frequent the forums and not everyone would understand/know where I am coming from.

With that said, I would like to TEMPORARILY discontinue my Paintless Dent Repair service until I feel comfortable enough. Mean while, I will continue to be a vendor on i-club and continue to provide my Dry Fog Odor Removal and Headlight Restoration services. However, for those that would still like to help me out, feel free to contact me. We can set something up less formal (no appointment/commitment) and hopefully you get lucky and get some dents done.

Please feel free to post any questions you might have for you.

Leo

Thanks for the support guys. BTW, I am not going away, I will still be working on my dent repair skill whenever I can, especially over the weekend. I have spare trunk and door in my garage for pratice. Not every easy to do when it's not mounted on a car. I just feel like I am not good enough and hate to disappoint people that's all.

I know what you're going through Leo. Taking it easy and make sure you focus on the things that really make you happy in life. I've still got that dent in my aluminum hood, but it's not going anywhere

Hey Leo!! Thanks so much for trying to help me get my fender dent out, I really appreciate the time and effort! I have another huge dent you might want to practice on, it's pretty nasty, if you want to see pics and give it a shot, i'm more than willing to let you try! Send me a PM if you're interested.
