Third comment, well a jury here is a thought!
We can recycle other things to save insurance companies money since you think this is reasonable and fair. How about Caskets? The previous owner won’t mind and there should not be any complaint from the new owners who are being placed into an only used once before Casket. This could save insurance companies a lot of money, which is good for the consumers at large.
Don’t worry I’m being sarcastic, but I want to make a point, consumers have expectations when they buy insurance and paying premiums for auto insurance is no different than paying premiums for life insurance. So would you want to be placed in a used casket that was perhaps one or two model years old?
Point made.
I can see what these readers and commenter’s are saying. I understand the complaints or points of view of each. I even understand the analogy of the casket, but what is really going on with the delayed delivery of these recycled OEM parts? Let’s start there.

After researching this delivery dilemma, I have found that in spite of guarantees and promises of quick shipping, body shops and consumers are not getting what they paid for. Following are some comments with regards to a recycler, whose name shall not be mentioned, who absolutely does not deliver as promised.
I work in the auto body industry and needed a car panel. I ordered it from them and they said it would take three days, so I waited. Three days later and the part hadn’t arrived. I called and said to just cancel it, I’ll order it somewhere else. The guy on the phone was a complete jerk, would not provide a refund and insisted the part was pulled and ready to go.
Hailstorms are a frequent occurrence in many regions, often causing extensive damage to vehicles with quarter to golf-ball-sized dents on every panel. Recognizing the need for efficient restoration, insurance companies globally endorse Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) as the “Preferred Method” for hail damage repair. At The Ding King, we offer specialized Hail Repair Training and Paintless Dent Repair Courses, preparing individuals to become skilled PDR technicians and tap into the burgeoning auto industry market.

Benefits of Choosing PDR: To avoid traditional body shops and preserve your vehicle’s value, our high-quality PDR process offers several advantages:
- Cost-Effectiveness: PDR is a more cost-effective option compared to traditional methods, eliminating the need for extensive bodywork or repainting. Skilled technicians can manipulate the metal from behind the panel, restoring it to its original shape without costly materials and labor.
- Time-Efficiency: PDR is a quicker process, avoiding the use of harmful chemicals, body filler, or lengthy paint curing times. This results in faster turnaround times, getting vehicles back on the road promptly while saving money on labor costs.
- Preservation of Original Paint: PDR is a non-invasive technique that preserves the vehicle’s original factory paint finish, eliminating the risk of color mismatches or overspray. This ensures the vehicle maintains its original appearance and resale value.
- Environmentally Friendly: PDR is considered a more environmentally friendly option as it does not involve the use of fillers, chemicals, or paint. The specialized tools used in PDR make it a greener choice for hail damage repair.
- Retention of Value and Appearance: By preserving the original paint and finish, PDR helps maintain the vehicle’s value. Traditional repairs involving repainting can potentially lower the vehicle’s value, making PDR the preferred choice for both car owners and insurance companies.
Conclusion: The PDR process, utilizing specialized tools to massage dents into their original shape without harsh chemicals, offers a cost-effective, time-efficient, and environmentally friendly solution for hail damage repair. Its ability to preserve the original paint and retain the value of the vehicle makes PDR the preferred choice for both car owners and insurance companies alike.
