Who is the face of Dent Techs?
Sean's passion in this industry began when he worked for his cousin, Barry Wentz with Dents Be Gone. Here he learned the craft of PDR and was properly trained on successful dent removal techniques.
A.K.A. Master of Dents and Having Fun
Sean is the founder, President, and CEO of Dent Techs, Inc., Manheim, PA. He is a graduate of Hempfield High School, and served our country in the National Guard for ten years.
Sean completed Vale National Training and was certified in Paintless Dent Repair.
Dent Techs, Inc. was officially born in 1999, as a one-man mobile operation. Sean began working with local body shops and dealerships to provide dent removal services. Soon enough, he met other technicians in the industry that were traveling the country, repairing vehicles from the hail damage storms left behind them. This intrigued Sean. For the next ten years his journey and expertise took him around the world, chasing hail storms throughout the Midwest, Australia, and New Zealand.
By 2012, Sean decided to stop chasing storms and begin working closer to home, mostly with dealerships and body shops in the Lancaster area. He opened his first shop in East Petersburg, to be able to offer his services to local residents. It was Wayne’s Towing that gave him this chance, to whom he is forever grateful. It was exactly the opportunity he needed, providing him with a space to work his magic and begin building his local reputation.
Today Dent Techs is located in Manheim, PA. Sean’s reputation and expertise have positioned him as the go-to Paintless Dent Repair Master Craftsman and facility in Lancaster county.
Sean Laukhuff
Spend a few moments with Sean and you will quickly learn he is seriously smitten on a few things: Bongo, Ashlynn, and living every day to its fullest. Bongo is Sean’s sidekick . . . his dapper little Westie that shares his living space. Ashlynn, is the apple of his eye. One glance and you immediately know Ashlynn is his daughter, a true mini me to Sean and a daddy’s girl. He couldn’t possibly be prouder of her, bragging on her every chance he gets. She is a beautiful and amazing young lady, a devoted college student, and an aspiring nurse.
Sean is undeniably multi-talented. In his downtime he loves to relax and have a good time. Sean also enjoys his new toy, his boat on the river where he goes to relax, socialize with friends, and do a little wakeboarding. You may also catch him snowboarding, golfing, playing pool, or remodeling his home in his spare time. There is never a dull moment with Sean, that is for sure!
Giving back to his community
Sean would have a hard time denying his huge heart and amazing capacity for giving...
Maybe it was years of chasing storms and seeing their devastating aftermath, or maybe it was becoming a dad that led him to another passion. But Sean definitely takes pride in giving back and helping those less fortunate than himself.
Sean and his team at Dent Techs organized a relief effort to help the victims of the tornado that ravaged Oklahoma City in 2013. He urged local residents to join them in providing some relief for the families. He had witnessed the devastation left behind while he was chasing storms with his business. Not only did they gather supplies and equipment, filling a trailer, but they personally drove them to the sites and delivered them to whom he calls his friends of the Midwest.
Dent Techs is also a proud supporter of Iron Leg Corp, an organization dedicated to providing prosthetics, therapy, and general support to children in need. Inspired by the resilience and spirit of children like Parker Millhouse, who was born without a leg, Iron Leg Corp strives to give these young individuals both a helping hand and a leg to stand on, enabling them to lead fuller, more active lives.
Recently Sean has decided to focus on another cause near and dear to his heart. He is organizing charity events for the community, with the hopes of raising awareness and money to support the Wounded Warriors Project, a non-profit organization that offers a variety of programs, services, and events for wounded veterans of the military.
What is PDR or Paintless Dent Repair
Recently, Dent Techs founder Sean Laukhuff was recently certified by Vale Training Solutions as a Master Craftsman.
This certification was developed at the request of industry professionals. It is a timed evaluation of actual Paintless Dent Repair on steel and aluminum panels using a state-of-the-art, digital-optic surface measurement device. The test is totally unique to the industry and is a purely objective and hands-on demonstration of skill. Timed repairs must pass a very high standard to qualify the technician for certification.
Sean goes above and beyond to stay up to date with changes to the PDR industry and with anything related to the PDR industry. You know that when you bring your vehicle to Dent Techs you are bringing it to the very best in Paintless Dent Repair in Lancaster County and Central Pennsylvania.
