About Me

A little background about me.
My name is Wally Inskeep. I have over 20 years experience in the collision industry. Having attended an auto body class in high school, then getting a full time job in a body shop, upon graduating in 1995. In 1999 I had my first experience with this new repair method called paintless dent repair. I was working as a painter in a local body shop, when we were told someone was going to come in and fix a hail damaged car without the need for painting. Prior to this, hail damage was repaired by sanding and applying filler to all the dents. After that, block sanding was necessary, followed by primer, followed by more block sanding, then masking and application of paint. It is a long process, not to mention all the roofs, hoods, and decklids being replaced.

To say that I was blown away by what I saw, would be an understatement. From that moment, I knew that this was a superior repair. I would watch technicians come fix hail cars for several years before I finally took the plunge and bought my own set of tools to try this on my own. That was 2006. Since then, I’ve been fixing hail damaged vehicles in the shop where I worked, as well as other damage, from small door ding type stuff to larger damage that was originally written to be repaired conventionally. I also started doing repairs for other local shops after hours, building relationships and gaining experience beyond what I was doing in my day job. In 2016 I attended the PDR College Advanced Skills Seminar, which is a 3 day emersion in all things relating to the paintless dent repair industry, as well as the 2018 and 2019 Advanced Skills Seminars.
I was a 2 time recertified ASE Master Collision Repair technician, as well as an I-CAR Platinum collision repair technician. I am also PDR Nation Certified, ARC Certified, IMI Hybrid/EV Certified, and a member of NAPDRT, the National Alliance of Paintless Dent Repair Technicians. Ongoing education, as well as industry associations is what keeps me continuing on a path of providing the best customer experience, for my clients seeking high quality paintless dent repair in Columbia and surrounding areas.
I live in Boonville, with my wife Jamie, and our 3 children, our dog Lucy, and cats Millie, Ruby,
and Sophie. I enjoy barbecuing, and cooking for my family and friends. We also enjoy
visiting new places with our camper, and getting outdoors.
