Námskeiðið er ætlað faglærðum bifreiðasmiðum/bílamálurum sem vilja ná tökum á skipulagðri og faglegri viðgerð með lím-togtækni (Glue Pull Repair – GPR). Það hentar sérstaklega reynslumiklum tæknimönnum sem vilja bæta við sig nýjum aðferðum utan hefðbundinna réttingaverkstæðisaðferða, færa sig yfir í minna ífarandi viðgerðir og fyrirtækjum sem leita að stöðluðu og endurtekningarhæfu GPR-ferli fyrir almennan markað, flota- og tryggingaviðgerðir.
Markmið fimm daga námskeiðsins er að þjálfa örugga, agaða og hæfa GPR-tæknimenn sem geta framkvæmt vandaðar og öruggar viðgerðir með stöðugum gæðum. Áhersla er lögð á að móta réttar vinnuvenjur, skilja orsaka- og afleiðingasamhengi í lím-togviðgerðum og beita Keco-kerfum með aðferðafræði fremur en að treysta á afl eða tilviljun.
Námskeiðið er í samstarfi við KECO Tabs UK og kennt á ensku. Æskilegt er að þátttakendur komi í vinnufötum og öryggisskóm.
This course is intended for professional automotive repair technicians who want to master structured Glue Pull Repair (GPR). It is particularly suitable for experienced technicians seeking to expand beyond traditional body shop methods, transition to non-invasive repair techniques, and for businesses looking to implement a repeatable and scalable GPR process for retail, fleet, and insurance work.
The objective of this five-day training course is to develop confident, disciplined GPR technicians who can consistently and safely perform high-quality repairs. The course emphasizes correct working habits, understanding cause-and-effect in glue pulling, and applying Keco systems methodically rather than relying on force or guesswork.
The training covers both fundamental principles and advanced applications of Glue Pull Repair, including:
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
The course is delivered in cooperation with KECO Tabs UK and is taught in English. Participants are requested to attend wearing suitable work clothing and safety footwear.
Kevin Andrews is a senior figure at Keco, playing a central role in the growth, support, and professional adoption of glue pull repair (GPR) and paintless dent repair (PDR) across the United Kingdom and the wider global market. Widely regarded as knowledgeable, approachable, and technically grounded, Kevin is known for combining commercial leadership with a genuine hands-on understanding of dent repair processes.
Kevin’s strength lies in translating Keco’s engineering-led systems into practical, real-world solutions for technicians, body shops, and training partners. He is closely involved in product guidance, system setup, and technician training, ensuring that tools are not only sold but also properly understood and correctly applied. This has helped position Keco as a technical authority and long-term partner to repairers.
A significant part of Kevin’s contribution lies in training strategy and standards. He has been instrumental in shaping how Keco’s systems are taught in the UK, emphasising correct habits, repeatable processes, and long-term technician development rather than short-term results. His approach reflects a strong belief that glue pulling should be disciplined, measurable, and scalable, particularly important for body shops, dealerships, and insurance-driven environments.
Kevin is also known for fostering strong relationships within the PDR community. As a PDR technician and trainer for 27 years, he acts as a bridge between Keco’s global development team and UK-based technicians. His feedback from the field often informs product refinement, training content, and support documentation, helping ensure Keco solutions remain relevant to real-world repair conditions in the UK climate and market.
Within the industry, Kevin is respected as a steady, technician-focused leader who prioritises education, credibility, and long-term progress over hype. Through his work with Keco, he continues to play a key role in raising standards for glue pull repair and in supporting the professionalisation of modern PDR processes.
Danny is a respected Glue Pull Repair (GPR) technician and lead trainer at Keco, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of GPR systems and PDR tooling. Known for his calm, methodical teaching style and deep technical expertise, Danny has played a key role in helping technicians transition from traditional Bodyshop methods to modern, repeatable glue-pull processes.
Danny’s background is firmly rooted in hands-on repair. He built his reputation as a technician and collision shop owner over 22 years, valuing precision, process control, and consistency, principles that align closely with Keco’s engineering-driven approach to tool design. This practical foundation enables him to teach not only how to pull dents but also why certain tabs, glues, temperatures, and pulling strategies work better in specific scenarios.
Within Keco, Danny is best known for his work in training and education, particularly in structured GPR systems. He has contributed to technician training courses, demonstrations, and workshops where repeatability, efficiency, and damage-free outcomes are prioritised. His instruction often focuses on tab selection logic, controlled pull cycles, knockdown discipline, and reducing technician fatigue, core elements of professional glue pulling at scale.
Danny is also recognised for bridging the gap between theory and real-world application. Rather than relying on “hero pulls,” his approach emphasises incremental repair, surface management, and process reliability, making his guidance particularly valuable for body shops and technicians working under time pressure.
In the wider collision community, Danny is regarded as a credible, technician-first educator whose influence is felt less through marketing and more through the quality of repairs produced by those he trains. His work with Keco continues to support the company’s broader mission: to professionalise glue pull repair and make advanced dent repair accessible, teachable, and repeatable across the industry.
