Sorry you're here, but at least I'm not the only one! At first I thought it was me. I took the dent-removal-for-dummies class in southern CA 4 months ago with James the tools and training they gave me were useless! I could have taught myself and bought my own tools for $100 instead of the $1000 he ripped me off for! And I notice I'm not the only one who he's ripped off here, we should all get together with a lawyer to see if we can file a class action suit against the whole franchise. If anybody's interested, let me know. If anybody wants to let them know they better watch out, his numbers are (800)538-0513 or (714)775-9450.

I went to Ding King in Fountain Valley,Ca and trained for 3 weeks with James and Sal.Got nothing but top notch training with those two guys.Also,if you think that you can buy high quality PDR tools for $100 made out of spring steel,let me know where to get them,you can't
Also,they don't have a dent-removal-for-dummies course.They have a Paintless Dent Repair course taught by some guys who not only know how to do PDR,but can also teach.Also,the whole time I was there,they never tried to sell me anything else.
Also Todd Sudeck,the owner(I hope I spelled his name right) took us to a baseball game.It was so cool.Everybody I have dealt with from that company from Todd all the way down to the instructors,has been really cool and helpful.I called Todd 2 years after I went to his school and he helped me out with what I thought was a difficult question.
Anyway,this training is what you make of it.

right right and right!
I spent a total of $6200 on the franchise with start up fees and all. The training material was some poor quality vhs tapes, and material that was not spell checked. The books were junk, basically taken from a "for dummies" book. I also have followed the directions and gotten no where. i worked on 3 cars for free. 1 of the guys is suing me because i tore up his paint job. bad bad bad. i emailed customerservice@dingking.com for additional support, and was told that it would cost me. it's extortion i tell you. they take your money and that is it, they throw you to the lions. well i am not taking it anymore. i have tried, begged and pleaded for money back. told them i would walk away quietly, and they turned a deaf ear to me, now i am pissed and taking it to the authorities, and the lawyers. They will rue the day the messed with me and ripped me off. you hear me John Harcar? John is the Admissions Rep.scam artist as he should be called.

Ding King Let Down
#4Consumer Suggestion
Wed, November 24, 2004
Ronnie, I too have issues with the Ding King Corp. The training class in Pasadena Was a joke. I met 3 other students there, one all the way from Florida. I felt so bad for him, such a let down. James was also our instructor. And for anyone else that is thinking about dropping the thousand busks for the "suggested tool" should buy them on ebay instead, or a swap meet. I had to take 3 days off work, Tom, from Florida took a whole week. I'm all for getting straight with these guys, I will monitor this site, and others. When you have additional info. say so, I wil jump on board with your suite.
