The Ding King Dent Remover are scammers and know nothing about d

My friend and I took leave from our company to get training from The Ding King and we were assured by our company that we would be paid for the course if we get certified and learned the technique of paintless dent removal.

We stay in a different city and we traveled to California on our own expense to get the training from The Ding King Institute. Before reaching, we were promised that the training will have no cost. We would have to bear the hotel, food and few other charges.

This was a complete lie. They charged us like hell. They included n number of fees that was not even justified. It was way more than a normal course fee. We were also told that the training will be done one on one. This also never happened. In our class, there were 5 members including us.

We accepted all of this thinking that we would learn something beneficial. So, we started with the classes only to know that the trainers were all unqualified. They claimed that they had more than 20 years of experience which they did have. However, in scamming people, I guess. Because in terms of expertise, they had nothing to impart.

When we asked for demonstration, they completely denied. They were clueless all the time. Whenever, we tried to confront them on some questions, they will divert us from the topic. It was too obvious to understand. It happened all the time.

At the end, we learned nothing. The other members who joined with us had the same experience. They were also frustrated and we all tried to ask for the justification. The management did not support. My friend and I took 2 weeks of leave on a condition that we would come back with training of dent repair.

The company did not refund us the amount that was spent as we did not meet the guideline. Our pay for two weeks was also deducted. That is something that we would try to talk into with the company.

But, what The Ding King did to us was not explainable. They completely ruined our time and career option. We were left without any knowledge and on top of that they made us pay for something that we never learned.

They promised that the training was free and at the end, they took our money and wasted our time. They did not teach anything that was beneficial. I checked on YouTube and discovered better alternatives for free of cost.

I would suggest that you should never use their services. They are fake and mostly have no concern about others time and money. In a package that is filled with lie, they wrap their training option and give it to you with all the charges that they can apply.

If you wish to learn, you can better check online videos on YouTube. Those are more effective and genuine.

  1. They suck

    Took my money ???? & I learned nothing
    in the trade ????‍♂️ Don’t waste your money ????

    1. I had the same experience. Also the lead instructor spent more time on his cell phone rather that instruct. Todd the owner who seems to be very nice has no clue about how poorly his school is run by James. James the lead instructor is a poor teacher and likes to sit in the ladies offices and not help. Stay away from this school and dont say i didnt warn you,

  2. 5 Star Training Experience

    I want to thank Ding King for providing me with the best 10 days of PDR80 training anywhere. I spent 20 years in military service and attended numerous training courses. I can honestly tell you Master instructor Lee Roth and Cole rank up there with the best trainers our nation has to offer. From the moment they introduced themselves, I felt like I was part of team again rarely found in today’s businesses. As each day training day passed by, I could not believe the progress I achieved with the help of Lee and Cole. At the end of the 10 day, I have the confidence to begin not just a job but a career in PDR. Thank you Mike Boone, you promised and delivered Sir.

    1. Quick question

      Hi Roger,
      Which campus did you attend? I see many reviews for their California campus, but not many for their South Carolina campus.
      Thank you,
      Karen

  3. The Ding King is the #1 PDR School in The USA

    The Ding King Training Experience is “5 Star” from their PDR Tools to the
    Quality Hands-on Training with Certified Experienced Instructors who love teaching and paying it forward.

    to see for yourself!

    Why can’t competitors compete by putting their best foot forward and perform to customers expectations? Why do they resort to writing FALSE REVIEWS? It’s simple…they are hiding behind a keyboard and simply trying to get you to feel one way about Ding King and naturally you consider their training.

    Ding King is State Approved to offer Auto Appearance Training and after 25 years in business we have not one complaint with our governing entity.
    NOT ONE!

    5 Stars to Ding King Training School for the training they provided for me and my boyfriend in paintless dent repair. We are from Ohio and we run a small detail business working with dealers and since back from school in March, we’ve gone from living on a pretty tight budget to making upwards of $4,500 a month. To say we are grateful is an understatement. We can’t thank Todd, James and Cher enough for what they did for us. Two weeks seemed like a long program to be away from work and home, but it was the best investment we ever made. Thank you and God Bless you guys. See you in November for Bumper Repair class!!!

    A month out of class and starting to receive my first checks from PDR work. We were able to return to the shop and start working thanks to the excellent training we recieved from James and Sal. Twice in the last month, James has given us support and tips on how to tackle advanced dents we didn’t cover in class. Thanks guys for all of your support, you’re the best!

    If you are questioning if the investment is worth it. Let me tell you, you won’t be disappointed.

    I went to The Ding King Training Institute last year for the 2 week course. I had no experience with PDR and high hopes. Chase Clark was our instructor. He taught us about technique, tools, access, business and overall PDR training. He is very knowledgeable about everything with PDR. Follow his instructions after class and keep the tools in your hand.
    Within one year, I have quit my full time job. I earned the business of 2 dealerships and do insurance claims as well. Thanks to everyone along the way within The Ding King.

    I wanted to say thank you to the team of instructors at The Ding King! James and Marcello provided my son with the foundation to become good at dent repair. He had the best experience! He learned so much more than he expected. The business and marketing class taught by Todd the owner was packed with everything needed to start a new business. Zac did over 3k in business a month after finishing training. I put up the money and I’m happy to see my money coming back to me so fast. I would highly recommend Ding King to anyone looking for PDR training. See you next month as Zac wants to add on bumper repair

  4. Rip Off

    Our company placed our trust with the owner Todd and spent the $10,000 for the full week course. Todd was great until after the 2nd day at school when he had our money…then he provided little to no personal attention. His promise was one-to-one instructing, however, we had over 15 students and only two instructors in a small confined garage. They rent cars from a local/major car rental company and make, dents, creases, drills holes…etc. for the PDR practice without the rental company knowing which questions their business ethics. The lead instructor spent most of his time texting on his cell phone during class. Their tools are cheap compared to others. The up-front marketing/sales is what this company is all about, once in the program the training quality is poor. PDR is very tough to master with a very small percentage of success where people can make a living. If you want to learn PDR look elsewhere for better schools and read the reviews! Talk to other PDR techs that know the business, most know PDR school reputations (Ding King). I only want people to educate themselves so they don’t loose thousands!

  6. Ding King Training was INCREDIBLE...my husband and I learned a lot.

    So happy I took this class with these instructors. Although I have hardly any experience with vehicles besides driving, the instructors were experts not just in their craft, but also in making me feel at ease and that I also could learn this skill. With lots of hands on time I now can use the tools and with more practice I know I will be able to be very productive and love what I do. Very professional and they are members of the better business bureau so I know they are very ethical in their business practice

  9. Very instructional and easy to learn

    I LOVED taking this class. The staff was going above and beyond in their efforts to make sure we understood what we were doing. I was a little nervous at first, working on the dents, but with a ton of hands on training I soon learned to enjoy the detail of this skill. When the instructor candidly told me that he was terrible the first week he learned his craft, he set me at ease. Can’t wait to start the next part of the training

  11. The Ding king Reviews

    They have some one who really don’t know about how to remove dent without removing the paint. In training session I have tried to ask some questions but instruction does not have any answer of my question. they are probably kind of robots who have been trained by CEO or other management staff.

    My experience with The Ding King Training is worst.

    The ding king training school costs vary from 500 to 5000$ and it has nothing to learn from robots.

    I do not suggest to try this training school but yaa if you have extra money to waste, donate it
