About Dent Fix Equipment
About Dent Fix Equipment
Dent Fix Equipment Corporation was established in 1979 by Max Spitznagel, whose engineers designed and built a stud welder for the auto body shop industry that made collision repair work faster and more consistent. That original stud welder set the direction for a company that has spent over 40 years building specialty tools for shops repairing dents, panels, and plastic body components.
Now led by Erik Spitznagel, the founder's son, Dent Fix relocated in 2012 into a larger manufacturing facility in Gardena, California, where it designs and manufactures a broad assortment of equipment body shops need to repair damage in steel, aluminum, and plastic panels. The company holds patents on tools built specifically for hard-to-reach areas of a vehicle's body and frame, a niche that keeps collision repair shops coming back to the brand.
Dent Fix tools show up in body shops that need dependable pulling, welding, and plastic-repair equipment rather than generic hand tools adapted for the job. On ChatMRO, shop managers can search by Dent Fix model number or describe the repair task and get matched to the right tool without sorting through a paper catalog.
