Storm response · For shops
An extra master tech when hail hits
When a catastrophe storm buries your shop in hail-damaged cars, John travels — bringing 20+ years of PDR experience to help you work the backlog.
Who you're getting
A hail specialist, not a hired gun
John Yager started as a combination body technician in 2003 — structural, non-structural, and paint — before PDR took over his career. He's contracted to the automotive manufacturing industry for training and spill repair, and for the last several years has focused entirely on hail.
He knows the challenge from your side of the counter: when a storm hits your town, your route techs are overloaded, your customers are anxious, and the insurance clock is ticking. He helps wherever help is needed — thinking big picture, working as part of your team, and representing your shop well in front of your customers.
That reputation isn't self-reported. At the Mobile Tech Expo — the show where this industry gathers — John was named PDR Person of the Year, receiving the Tom Nations Memorial Award: peer recognition given in memory of an industry leader known for honest, straight dealing.
