 About us Kar Kosmetics has been serving Kitsap county and the Puget Sound area since 2001. Most Auto Dealers in Kitsap County use Kar Kosmetics for their Paintless Dent Removal and Paint Repair needs. CERTIFIED DENT REPAIR SPECIALIST ON STAFF! Our master dent repair technician, John Broshears, was certified in March 2004 through Vale National. Vale National has been training the insurance industry in automotive estimatics for nearly 60 years. In 2003, they developed a program to test the skills of PDR technicians using a high-tech imagery computer that inspects the repaired area of a vehicle for trace flaws and defects. The program was developed in order to help the public and the insurance industry discern between quality technicians and those who aren't up to standard.
Some PDR companies advertise "certified technicians," when in reality the certification is from a PDR training school that sells tools. These certifications are not recognized by the insurance industry. Vale is the only unbiased third party organization in the world with a PDR certification program. If it doesn't say "Vale Certified," they aren't certified. John Broshears of Kar Kosmetics is one of less than 200 certified technicians in the US. Make sure your dent repairs are done RIGHT the first time through a not only qualified but certified technician.
