ST. LOUIS — Reconditioning services and F&I product provider Dent Wizard International, has named Mike Black president. He will retain his role as COO and replaces Terry Koebbe, who retains his position as CEO.
Black will have more comprehensive responsibility and authority over Dent Wizard’s domestic and international operations. He will also take a more active role in new product development and geographic expansion.
“Mike has done a phenomenal job as COO over the past six years,” said Koebbe. “His passion and commitment to success has been a key driver to Dent Wizard's growth, and his ability to connect and lead our field staff has been impressive.
“Equally important, Mike has been very effective in the management and development of relationships with several of our largest customers,” Koebbe added. “It’s been exciting to see Mike's growth as a top executive at Dent Wizard, and I look forward to seeing his handling of expanded responsibilities as president.”

Working together, including a talented team of leaders, we’ve built an industry-leading company that remains focused on serving customers, expanding our geographic footprint and services, and supporting the frontline managers and technicians that make Dent Wizard a winner. I believe in our ability to create an even better Dent Wizard, and I’m appreciative of the trust and confidence from Terry Koebbe, Gridiron Capital, and the board.”
