ST. LOUIS — Dent Wizard International has hired Sonny Mondia as regional finance and insurance director to manage the Midwestern U.S. and Canadian markets.

Operating from his office near Chicago, Mondia will focus on selling Dent Wizard’s growing portfolio of F&I products and programs, including Ding Shield, the ding and dent repair product, and Ding Shield Preferred, the recently-introduced product that covers all aspects of Ding Shield, plus windshield chip repair and cosmetic alloy wheel repair.

Mondia will join existing regional F&I directors John Saro from the Western territory, Harlan Daniel from the Mid-South territory, Matt Trudeau from the Northeast territory and Jonathan Himmelwright from the Southeast territory. He will report to Dent Wizard’s National F&I Director Aaron Cooper. 

“Dent Wizard’s F&I products and programs continue to grow in popularity across North America,” Cooper said. “Sonny will bring experience and expertise to the important Midwest and Canada markets, where there’s an increasing demand for incremental revenue opportunities in dealership F&I offices.”

Mondia brings to Dent Wizard 20 years of experience in the automotive financing field, holding positions as finance manager, sales manager, and, most recently, business development manager for LoJack Corp,, the publicly traded provider of vehicle tracking and recovery systems.
