Investment into your future
A training and equipment programme built on one question: how much of what your shop replaces could be repaired instead, and who keeps the difference? In proud association with Carbon Carbody Technology and Tempir.
Proven results
Three repairs from the same documented trial: the actual damage, the actual repair cost, and what the insurer's own valuation paid out.
Before
AfterRear bumper spoiler · 16 Oct 2023 · 1h 25m labour
A cracked rear bumper spoiler that would normally be binned and replaced. Nitrogen plastic-welded back to spec in under 90 minutes: the insurer's own repair valuation still left over R1,000 in the shop's pocket versus the actual cost of parts and labour.
Before
AfterLeft front door & left rear door · 9 Nov 2023 · 7h 00m labour
The standout of the trial. Two doors on a near-new luxury coupe, dent-pulled back to panel instead of replaced outright: the gap between the insurer's repair valuation and the shop's actual cost came to almost R58,000 on a single job card.
Before
AfterLeft side panel, door lower & C-pillar · 3 Nov 2023 · 1h 59m labour
A multi-panel bakkie repair spanning a side panel, door lower and C-pillar in one sitting, the kind of job that's normally three separate replacement quotes. Pulled and finished in under two hours.
Across the whole trial
Where technicians judged a plastic panel repairable with their existing tools 35% of the time, the same panels came back 100% repairable with the right equipment. Metal panels moved from an 85% baseline to 100%.
The technology
Profitable repair beats replacement.
Carbon-fibre and carbon-fibre-reinforced dent-pulling equipment: dramatically lighter than conventional pulling gear, so repairs above chest height stop being a two-person job. The international market leader in body repair systems and dent removal.
Amplify your plastic repair power.
Nitrogen plastic welders that heat without combustion, eliminating oxidisation and fumes: compatible with almost every plastic used in the automotive industry, from bumpers to trim.
How the training works
Skillz for Profit was built in collaboration with the equipment suppliers themselves, focused on manufacturer repair standards and modern panel repair technique, not generic theory.
A Complete Professional Collision Repair System from Carbon.
A 3-day course for one nominated technician is included in the purchase, run at BCS Training Academy.
A signed Certificate of Achievement on completion: safety, hand tools, ferrous and non-ferrous metal repair.
Additional technicians can be booked in anytime at standard course rates.
What shop owners say
“At JE Autobody we strive to only use the best to benefit our business and to produce the best final product possible. Carbon has not only brought us the opportunity to benefit in the efficiency of the latest modern technology of major structural repairs, but also benefited our business profit wise. We are repairing 80% more panels with the Carbon, where we used to replace those panels.”
Johan Hattingh · Owner, JE Autobody
“I am very impressed with Professional Collision Repair Equipment systems and would highly recommend it to any other body shops as it is a must have.”
Raymond Giese · Owner, Ray Giese Body Shop
“We needed a system that would enable us to repair panels which we were previously unable to repair as well as dramatically improve the efficiency of the conventional repairs. A PCRE system enables us to do both.”
Bruce Cummings · Owner, Gordon Cumming Body Repair
“Witnessing a repair demonstration I was astonished at the extent of a Professional Collision System's repair capabilities. I am very excited about the possibilities this presents for my business.”
Wynand Bekker · Owner, Laborius Panelbeaters
The trial results are promising, not a guarantee: equipment cost, the gap between quoted and actual labour units, staff training time, and how the benefit scales across a wider repair network are all real variables. We track this with continued data and analytics rather than a single glossy number.
