Dent Removal Warrington | Dent Removal St Helens

Dent Removal Franchisee Alan Gribben recently benifited from this posting & editorial posted in the Mail on Sunday on 19th October 2008.

The article was about using redundancy money to start a Franchise business to eventually grow you’re franchise in a very lucrative investment.  

Alan Gribben was an HGV driver for Safeway for six years before being made redundant in 2006 after the supermarket merged with rival Morrisons. In October last year he used his £11,000 redundancy cheque plus savings to start a Dent-Technique car dent removal franchise in Warrington, Cheshire.

Alan, 43, from Childwall, Liverpool, says: ‘A lot of people imagine a franchise is a quick fix and they will be earning thousands a week within the first month. But it takes time to build up a business, so you need money behind you to keep you going.’

Franchisee case study – Joshua Cain (Rutland/Northamptonshire)

The service is available to the trade and the general public repairing the vehicle in the showroom or on the forecourt, at work or at home making it convenient for the customer. 

 

NETWORK BREAKFAST SEES JOSHUA ON THE ROAD TO SUCCESS

 A chat at a local networking breakfast with Dent-Technique owner Paul Phillips started Joshua Cain off on the road to success with his Rutland and Northamptonshire franchise. Fed-up with the nine to five grind of daily working life Joshua decided it was time to learn a new trade and run his own business. “I’d worked as an estate agent, a web designer and a medical insurance salesman but none of these jobs offered me real satisfaction,” Joshua explained, “whilst attending a local business networking event I met Paul and got chatting about his company.”  Over the next 12 months Joshua bumped into Paul at a number of similar functions, each time learning more about franchising and in particular Dent-Technique.“As time passed I was becoming increasingly despondent in my current role and I was determined to become my own boss,” Joshua explained. “I had heard of franchising but thought it was only open to large corporate companies requiring huge investment. It wasn’t until my meetings with Paul that I found out that my aspirations could be achieved with a much smaller investment,” he continued.“My conversations with Paul led me to finding out more about his business and the paintless dent removal service. After careful consideration, it was his enthusiasm together with the outstanding support package that persuaded me to set up my own Dent-Technique franchise.” Since opening his franchise in May 2007, Joshua still clocks up the long hours but also reaps the rewards.  He said, “I still seem to be working all the time, but it’s my choice. I know that the more effort I put in the more holidays I can have snowboarding!” he continued.“I’m more motivated now that I’m my own boss and I’m determined to expand the business. As the service becomes better known, we are attracting more new business. The workload is increasing and in the future I plan to employ someone to assist me.”

WEEKEND A BONUS FOR CAR FANATIC GARY

 Warwickshire Dent-Technique franchisee Gary Parkes had always been interested in cars so when a paintless dent removal specialist visited the car showroom in which he was working, Garry was intrigued by what he saw.   “I knew quite a bit about cars having worked in the industry since leaving school” Gary explained, “but it was whilst working as a used car salesmen that I came across the paintless dent removal technique. I was amazed by their skill in taking a damaged car and making it look like new.”  Fed up with working long hours and weekends Gary decided it was time to strike a better balance between his work and home life which would enable him to spend more time with his young family. He started to explore what options were available to him.”I knew a little about franchising and liked the idea of having the backing of a business model that was already in place,” Gary explained. “I also knew the importance of brand identity which was why franchising appealed to me rather than heading down the self employed route,” he continued Having decided that franchising was the preferred option, Gary then researched what opportunities were available in the Warwickshire area. “I did look at a number of companies but either the investment was too high or they were very hard sell.” Gary would recall his previous experience of seeing the paintless dent removal technicians at work, which led him to explore Dent-Technique further. “I was so impressed by Dent-Technique as they offered the whole package from training through to corporate clothing. The organisation is very professional and the website generates additional business.” Since opening his franchise in May 2008, Gary has seen his business grow through repeat business and referrals from satisfied customers. He said, “I really enjoy owning my own franchise and I’m really keen to grow the business. The ongoing training ensures that I’m up to date with the latest techniques and the support from Dent-Technique is second to none. I work hard during the week, and unlike my previous jobs, I have time at the weekend to relax with my family.”

Dent Removal Leicester. The story behind the ‘Before’ & ‘After’ Dent removal pictures that appears on our advertisments and flyers;

Paintless Dent Removal can be very time consuming & needs alot of skill & patiance to obtain perfect results.

This became more apparent when a cusomer came to us with the dent you see on the car above!

The poor chap had only owned the car 2 days, he had saved up & bought himself an Alfa Romeo 147 in bright red and it arrived just days before his freind’s wedding so he was over the moon he could show off his new pride & joy.

When they arrived a the reception he decided to park his brand new car well out the way of everyone else to prevent it from possibility of being damaged. But what he did’nt realise was he had parked it near to a ‘cooking apple tree’!

During the night the weather had taken a turn for the worse & strong winds came in, dislodging a large & heavy apple from the top of the tree, throwing straight on to his brand new car, as you can imagine the owner has very upset! much to his friends amusement. 

That morning he call Dent Technique, managed to get hold of one of our paintless dent removal techs whom arranged a meeting with customer, arranged an appointment for the next day, the customer left the  car with us, we removed his dent without using any paint or fillers & restored it back to it’s orginal condition.

On the customers return was so happy with the repair he has recomended us to many peaople and posted us on the Alfa Romeo owners website from which we still receive endless enquies.

Dent-Technique

Franchisee case study – Glynn Lewin (Nottingham)

 Dent-Technique is a specialist paintless dent removal franchise that provides a fast a reliable repair service to damaged body panels on motor vehicles. The service is available to the trade and the general public repairing the vehicle in the showroom or on the forecourt, at work or at home making it convenient for the customer. 

 

A CHANCE MEETING PROVIDES NEW CHALLENGE

 

Glynn Lewin became a Dent-Technique franchisee for the Nottingham area after he decided a new challenge in his working life was needed.  A chance meeting whilst having his own car repaired introduced Glynn to franchising, “I discovered Dent-Technique when talking with one of their technicians during a car repair visit,” Glynn said.  “I was amazed by the standard of the repair and the technician raved about the franchise,” he continued.

With a little knowledge of franchising he took to the World Wide Web to gain further knowledge. “I knew a little about franchising and did some further detailed research.” Glynn explained.  “I’d always had an interest in cars and decided to find out what was available in my area.”  He considered being self-employed and like many prospective new business owners, he had some reservations but liked the support network offered by becoming a member of a growing franchise network.He soon realised that he needed to make changes to his lifestyle to afford the initial outlay. Although cautious, he was also well aware of the rewards that could be achieved. Glynn obtained a Dent-Technique information pack and a subsequent meeting with owner Paul Phillips confirmed that Dent-Technique was the correct choice.  “I’d looked at other vehicle repair and valeting franchises but the initial investment was too expensive,” Glynn said. “Dent-Technique offered a far better return.“There were other aspects that really appealed to me, including the intensive training both before I launched and ongoing. I didn’t particularly want to relocate and was fortunate that the Nottingham franchise was available.”Glynn opened his franchise in May, 2008.  He says: “Now that I’m my own boss I know that the success of the business is down to me and that has certainly made me more focused.  I know that it won’t be plain sailing but that’s the challenge and with my hard work, and Paul’s support, I’m confident that I can grow the business.“Twelve months ago I could have not envisaged having my own business and reaping the rewards of my own efforts.”

REDUNDANY LEADS TO FULFILMENT OF LIFETIME AMBITION

 Being made redundant at the age of 42 may be daunting for most people but for Warrington Dent-Technique franchise holder Alan Gribben, it gave him the incentive he needed to change career direction and run his own business. After 12 years behind the wheel of an HGV, Alan found himself in a situation that provided him with the ideal time in which to make a positive change. “I’d always had plans to be my own boss one day,” said Alan, “I decided that I wasn’t going to let my redundancy situation get me down and started thinking how I was going to use the redundancy money as financial backing for my new career.”Whilst Alan knew a little about franchising, Internet research and industry magazines provided further information on exactly how it worked and what business opportunities were available. “I am really fanatical about cars so my first point of call was to find something in this field,” continued Alan, “I searched high and low for something that would suit me and gathered lots of information but was particularly drawn to paintless dent removal. I then discovered Dent-Technique’s website. I met with owner Paul (Phillips) and liked the feel of the company in the way that it felt like a family business.”After completing Dent-Technique’s comprehensive training and induction programme, Alan opened his Warrington-based franchise in September 2007. He said: “The ongoing training that I receive from Dent-Technique head office is great and has really supported me in growing my franchise. I have developed the business and am now working with a lot of automotive dealerships and services in the area. “Franchising has certainly fulfilled my ambitions and enables me to live a more comfortable lifestyle. It involved a great deal of hard work, dedication and long hours in establishing my area but the satisfaction of being my own boss make it worth while.”
