Dent Wizard International, which specializes in automotive reconditioning and SMART (small to medium area repair techniques) repairs, recently promoted Pete Stuckert to vice president-rentals.
In this role, he will continue to expand Dent Wizard’s Ready Line Express program. Stuckert previously served as the company’s director of business development for the rental sector.
Designed for the daily rental and remarketing sides of the business, Ready Line Express is a consolidated paintless dent repair (PDR), minor paint, bumper repair, wheel repair and interior repair program focused on quality repairs and short cycle times. That way, rental fleet managers can keep their vehicles in service or in sell-ready condition, according to the company.
Stuckert will work closely with Dent Wizard’s regional vice presidents and their staffs and will continue to report to Mike Black, Dent Wizard’s chief operating officer.
“Pete's service attitude, combined with his desire to ensure our programs add real value to our rental clients, is simply outstanding,” said Black. “He’s a great addition to our senior team, and we look forward to the contributions he’ll bring.”
