The Ding King Training Institute TRUSTED BUSINESS REVIEW: The Ding King Training Institute's executive team consists of leaders in Auto Appearance Industry, from Todd the President, to team of highly skilled instructors, friendly staff of employees dedicated to 100% customer satisfaction. The Ding King's approach to business focused on providing only highest customer satisfaction in industry. The Ding King offers money back promise to support customers.
I thought I had done my due diligence, but only after having my money taken, and getting the worst training I have ever witnessed, I decided to do some checking on this company that had promised me the world but couldn't even deliver a grain of sand!
Ding King has GOT to be the worst business opportunity ever in this industry. From their system, to training, to the tools they provided, everything turned out horribly and I have found that the support they promise is non-existent.
They advertise having several "campuses" but having asked to go to several of them, ultimately they told me they only had one that was operating and it was in california. I did attend training there only to find out that their "hands on" training took place in a warehouse, with no real facilities to speak of, and that their "years of experience" really amounted to nothing mopre than a few people who happened to work for them for awhile...there was no real industry experience by anyone I cam in contact with.
In terms of their "nationally recognized" programs, I could not find anywhere that they are accredited or even registered with the states that they supposedly do business in. When I spoke with my lawyer, he also researched and did not find anywhere that they filed their required disclosure documents with their states of business. A big no-no in the legal world evidently.
The tools they gave me as a part of my "package" were absolute pieces of crap. They were poorly made, and I have now had to replace all but two of them. I have since learned that there are several American manufacturers of these tools and while they do cost a bit more, they are worth every penny.
If you are looking to go into the PDR industry, DO NOT even think about considering this horrible company. They lie, cheat, and steal and promise you a great price and discount when all they ultimately end up doing is taking your money and providing zero support!

First of all, Look at all of TODD'S reply's. He is so lazy he copy's and pastes with a little addition. Let me say this, No business man, successful or unsuccessful we give away anything for free. I like how TOOD says he will pay for your hotel and airfare. Up front it seems like a good deal. Do the research, TODD gets discounts and schedules the student on the cheapest airline with multiple stops and the cheapest seats. The hotel he places you in is very low end. Either way you look at it, TODD is still making money and is one heck of a salesman. "if his lips are moving, TODD is lying" Reference the tools TODD gives you for the class as a bonus, i actually went to a 30 plus year dent repair professional and showed him the tools. This professional told me they are extremely low end, and will not survive more than 6 months in a busy work place. The expert recommended "Dent Craft" located in Oklahoma. The tools you receive are worth APPROXIMATELY $400.00 RETAIL. (JUNK). Remember nothing is free SILLY......

IP ADDRESS has been confirmed to be of an employee of our competitor. THIS IS A FALSE REVIEW!
While I realize most customers read these reviews and can see as clear as day that they have been written by competitors, but I wanted to set the record straight as President of the company by stating the following:
Our tools are made from high quality stainless steel, then properly cut and heat treated adn manufactured to the highest quality standards. All handles are twice baked and color coordinated for ease of selection and comfort. In fact, you can find our complete line of tools on every Snap On truck across the USA. Snap On does not sell crap.
As for our programs being recognized nationally, we are a STATE LICENSED School with not one complaint and our program is registered with the State Attorney General and we are approved by the Federal Government under the US Veterans Affairs Vocational Rehabilitation.
This is a clear attempt to damage the reputation of a quality company!
This is sad that a competitotr can't shine on his own and has to hide behind the keyboard and type slanderous and false information to try to make themselves look better!
LET ME REITERATE for customers researching our business:
This FALSE REPORT has been made and confirmed to be from a COMPETITOR intending to SLANDER and harm my company. Their IP address and testimony from their ex-employee has been confirmed and with depositions pending, the truth will prevail.
Your airfare and hotel expenses are “on me” so you can see the quality first hand before attending our school……That is how confident I am in the quality we offer everyone of our students.
Legal Action has been initiated to STOP THE NEGATIVE and ILLEGAL ACTS! You've been doing this for years and it's not only dirty, but ILLEGAL! Your attempt to litter your FALSE Complaint with keywords that Google will pick up and place in the search results is obvious and very sad!
It has come to our attention that the competitor in question is directing you to read these reviews about my company (WHICH HE WROTE HIMSELF) to persuade you to do business with his company.
Again, the statements made by this competitor in his multiple reports are flat out lies intended to harm my company's reputation and persuade you to do business with his. Do your research; I believe you will find he is not licensed to offer training in California and does not comply with the SAMP ACT with the State Attorney General's Office.
Should anyone reading this wish to speak to me directly or any of my graduates, please contact me personally at 1-800-304-3464.
I am so confident in the quality of our training programs that I will pay for your airfare and hotel to visit our school prior to you starting class!
Sincerely,
Todd
