Mobile Dent Removal Without Auto Painting or Body Fillers: the Green Choice for Consumers
“Green” Benefits of Paintless Dent Removal
When you choose a paintless dent removal company to repair the dings and dents in your car’s body, you are eliminating the need for harsh chemicals. Traditional paint and body shops rely on auto paint, sanding materials, and body fillers to make your car look like new. All of these materials are made of harsh chemicals that are hazardous to dispose of and require energy to both manufacture and utilize. The chemicals in auto paint – whether it is an activator, clearcoat, paint thinner, basecoat, or primer – contain everything from barium sulfate to titanium dioxide, which are non-organic solvents that can pose a risk to individuals and the environment.
Paintless dent removal companies skip this harmful step by working with what is already there – your car’s metal panels – to gently massage and work the shape of your car back to its flawless condition. The process is so mild that there’s no need to use touch-up paint to finish the job, giving you an effective and safe alternative.
“Green” Benefits of Mobile Repair Services
When you choose paintless dent removal in addition to mobile services, you get an even lower environmental impact. When you make an appointment at a traditional body shop, you typically have to get in your car, drive it to the site, and have yet another person pick you up to take you where you need to go. You then have to repeat the same steps when your car is finished. When you add up all the people who get dent removal services in a single year, this adds up to a substantial amount of unnecessary gas consumption.
Mobile paintless dent removal services like the ones offered by Dings Plus of San Jose, CA streamline this process to use the least amount of environmental impact possible. By coming to your home or office, the dent removal specialists at Dings Plus can combine several repairs into a single journey – meaning that not only are you offered great service on your schedule, but you’re also reducing the overall amount of drive time for everyone involved. As far as the environment is concerned, it is a win-win situation.

I had the same interest as you 40 years ago.I found a job as a painters helper at a collision shop and went to work.It quickly became clear that this is hard dirty work with lots of problems,but I stuck with it and made it my lifetime career.I'm glad I did,the money has been great and the independence is nice too.But,watch out for the chemicals.I got cancer and had to retire early because of it.

Most bigger cities have community colleges that teach it. Just keep in mind that all the chemicals and paint you use isn't the best for your health. Its improved but you are still exposed to a lot of fumes.

MAACO is an old, discount autocarriage painting company.
Their attention to detail is iffy, especially with masking. Also, they do not do any sort of mechanical or body removal. It's all surface work. The paint is affordable, average quality but not horrible.
They are the McDonald's of body work. They get the job done but that is about all. Find an independent body shop and pay the little extra.

BTW, this is not really a Visual Arts question. Ask in Automotive/Transportation and you are likely to get a few more answers.
