What the magic dent workshop does is something that might come to mind for friends. Especially when seeing the magic dent services and the people who rely on their services.

That question is natural to arise in all our minds, due to the rather mysterious way the magic dent workshop operates. So, what exactly does the magic dent workshop do to their customers' cars?

Just Like Other Workshops

What the magic dent workshop does is actually the same as other workshops, which is repairing cars. The difference lies in the tools used, the types of damage that can be handled, the working system, and the closed workshop space.

Tools Used

Compared to other workshops, the tools used in magic dent are relatively simple. In fact, they are somewhat outdated compared to the tools available in general workshops. Dent removal tools, hammers, welding rods, hair dryers, flat iron, welding equipment, curved long iron, and teter are the tools referred to.

Among all these tools, teter is the oldest and most legendary tool. Teter itself is a thin iron plate that is used to fix dents on cars. This tool is used by being attached to the dented part of the car's body, and then it is struck with a hammer.

Teter was the first tool used when magic dent first appeared in Indonesia. Magic dent itself first emerged in the 1970s, with Mbah Turut as its pioneer.

Damage Handled by Magic Dent

Magic dent usually handles cars that have dents. Both light and heavy dents. If the dent is accompanied by scratches, then the dented part will not only be repaired but will also be repainted immediately.

If the dent is too severe, the magic dent team will usually replace it with a new one. Or, they will ask the customer to replace it elsewhere that provides the dented car part.

The repair process at magic dent itself greatly depends on the level of dent severity. If it is classified as light, the process can take 30 minutes to 1 hour. If it is somewhat heavy, the work can take all night long.

Magic Dent Working System

Employees at magic dent usually consist of assistants, helpers, and dent technicians. The assistant's job is to help the magic dent helper prepare the tools that will be used. Usually, the prepared tools are for disassembling and reassembling the car body.

After the tools are prepared, the helper will immediately assist the dent technician in disassembling and reassembling the car body. The dent technician's job is to repair the dented parts.

If they are overwhelmed, the magic dent workshop will usually ask for help from colleagues at other magic dent workshops. They usually apply a profit-sharing system for each car they repair.

Closed Workshop Space

The hallmark of a magic dent workshop is its closed workshop space. Usually, the magic dent workshop is covered by relatively high metal sheets. According to several owners of magic dent workshops, this is done to keep their working methods secret. They also do this to pique people's curiosity.

Unfortunately, the closed workshop space creates a negative perception of magic dent. Many suspect that magic dent workshops use magic in their processes. 

This is not unrelated to their relatively quick working process. Due to this negative perception, some magic dent workshops have decided to keep their workshop spaces open.

That is what magic dent workshops have been doing all this time. So, has it answered your curiosity about what magic dent workshops do?
