ST. LOUIS —Dent Wizard International has added Candi Hay as a regional business development manager. She will cover the states of Georgia and Alabama.
Hay will focus on acquisition, facilitation and process improvements of dealer accounts for SMART (small to medium area repair techniques) repair services, which include paintless dent removal, wheel refinishing, bumper repair, interior repair, chip and scratch repair, hail damage repair services and more. Her focus will also include growing Dent Wizard’s Mint program for dealership service departments, as well as the company’s Frontline Fast program for dealership inventories.

We’re looking forward to her continued contributions in this very dynamic region.”
