ABOUT
Dent Doctor in South Africa was founded in 1992 in Johannesburg with one outlet specialising in 'paintless dent removal' (PDR). The branch rapidly expanded to minor autobody repairs and the successful business model was franchised a few years later. Today Dent Doctor's national franchise base represents the strongest brand in the autobody repair industry in South Africa.
At the start of 2007, Solly Heyns, Dent Doctor Managing Director, said the following to Franchisees, which summarises the opportunitities facing Dent Doctor today:
| "If we as Dent Doctor continue to improve our service levels wherever we can, ultimately we will reap the benefits as our brand recognition goes from strength to strength.
"At the Franchise office we continually strive to promote the Dent Doctor brand and create opportunities for Franchisees to grow and expand their businesses.
"Franchisees knows that it is very important to continually re-invest in your business to ensure your long-term success."
