First, we don’t want to deprive you of the lessons of choosing to work for someone outside of Hail Chasers. Next, technicians should never work for a Broker without some sort of contract in place. Hail Chasers’ feedback allows you to evaluate the risk of the Brokers you chose to work for. We also provide you with a contract that can be used to collect the debt. Since none of this matters now, you still can list this broker on the Community Blacklist.

Yes, we welcome any and all deadbeat companies/brokers to be added to the Community Blacklist. The Community Blacklist will help drain the swamp of bad companies in the PDR industry. Deadbeat Brokers won’t get Technicians to work for them if they are exposed.

Yes, have the broker create the job on their account. Once the job is created, you apply for the job and the broker will hire you. Thus, the contract will be created.

The broker and technician will be emailed a copy of the contract once they both agree to the terms of the contract.

Yes, after you complete 2 contracts either as a broker or technician, you will be able to use your referral code to get our hail rod for free. You will have to pay for shipping.

Yes. The app was designed to be used worldwide. If you are located outside of the United States, we welcome you to still use the app. This is a perfect tool to get work in other countries and to hire people from other countries.

Probably not. We currently have to manually approve all job listings. We try to get to them as they come in.

Well, your contract is with the broker. The broker pays the technician directly.

Yes. Dent Impressions built this app so we can have a large pool of technicians to service our accounts. However, we are unable to provide jobs to everyone so we opened this app to the entire PDR industry. We currently have great interest from brokers to use this platform.

Job openings are based on the amount of hail that has fallen. If you are waiting for a job in the US during January, you might be waiting for a while. The peak time for job listings in the US is June-August. However, other countries have seasons during the non-peak seasons of the US.

Once a job becomes available, members will receive a push notification of the job opening.

Yes. Our platform can be used to list jobs for one dent or 1000 hail vehicles.

No, you will receive job listing notifications for the area that you choose to work when setting your availability. However, it is recommended to keep your availability status current in case you see a job that you want to apply to.

You should update your status at least once a week or anytime your availability changes

Every Monday, we send out a notification to update your current availability status.

Typically, at the end of a storm, technicians leave to go to new storms and brokers need technicians for part-time help. This provides a perfect opportunity for technicians to full up a slower week.

Yes. Just post a job for part-time help and find a technician to finish up the storm that you started. You can decide on fair compensation for these leads

Yes. We currently have applied for patents and have several products that are being prototyped.

We believe new products should be tested before being sold to the market. We also believe that we should have the item in stock before it is offered in the open market. We don’t believe in doing pre-sales as things change. If you purchase something from us, you shouldn’t have to wait for 4 months to have the order delivered.

Yes. Dent Impressions will allow you to focus on the retail side of things while we service your wholesale accounts. Most local dent companies just walk away from wholesale accounts and allow out of town companies to pick up this wholesale work. When local companies have a contingency plan with Dent Impressions, they make money off of these wholesale accounts while concentrating on their retail work.

No. Dent Impressions allows your company the freedom to service other accounts. Actually, we provide you the freedom to pick up additional accounts after a hail storm occurs. Local companies have an advantage in picking up new accounts that they can service year-round. If you get new accounts, we will get the people to service these accounts.

Dent Impressions will not compete with companies that we partner with. However, this is a two-way street. We expect that our partners adhere to these same principles.

Not sure. We are selective about the deals we partner on. If you gave all the money to the account and our technicians cannot make fair compensation for the work required, Dent Impressions won’t be interested in servicing this account. The best practice would be having us involved in negotiating the compensation for everyone involved.

Dent Impressions will fly someone to your location and arrive within 24 hours or sooner of calling. Dent impressions will dispatch technicians to fill the need. It is likely that you will have the support that is needed as it arises.

Yes. The requires contingency planning but Dent Impressions can provide custom branded trailers of your company. We have the ability to customize our mobile command centers to add value to your brand. Dent Impressions has invested $25,000 -$35,000 in each trailer. Our partners pay about $1500 to customize a trailer with their brand. Priority use of trailers will be given to companies that have a contingency plan with Dent Impressions and have paid for branded mobile command centers.

The trailers are paid for and provide an added value for Dent Impressions partners. There is no cost to use these trailers. Companies that want to brand these trailers with their brand will have to pay around $1500.

It takes about 2 weeks. It is recommended to do this process in the offseason to be ready for the future hail storm. If so, your company’s branded trailer usually would arrive with the first technician, usually within 24 hours of the storm.
