FenderPro began in 1977 as a company dedicated to providing low cost, high quality fiberglass repair to the RV industry in the San Diego area. At the time, it was novel to supplement the fiberglass repair with refinishing, combining the two procedures into one completed process. Shortened down time saved the customer valuable time and yielded higher profits for a fledgling mobile service.
The unique combination of using innovative repair products in a growing untapped market while serving the industry in a mobile, we come to you format, changed the horizon for many future services including auto detailing, windshield repair, bumper repair, paintless dent repair, and others. The use of plastics in the trucking industry has increased every year with no end in sight. FenderPro recognized the need for quality workmanship while providing superior results.
In 1996, FenderPro pioneered the “on site” fiberglass truck repair for a market that was nationally untapped and to this day remains virtually unsaturated, unlike prior mentioned services. Truck manufacture engineers project a significant growth in the use of thermoset composites over the next 10 years. Commercial transport vehicles have shifted from fiberglass process to SMC and other composites. The use of SMC, or sheet molded compound, in exterior body panels is growing at an astonishing rate. This is due to SMC’s lightweight characteristic, and its ability to offer the strength and stability of steel, at drastically reduced tooling costs. SMC derives its strength and durability from a combination of resin and fiber-reinforcement. It has much lower thermal expansion and contraction than other composites. SMC composites have numerous advantages over conventional building materials, including ease and durability of repair. However, damaged parts are often replaced simply because many individuals lack the knowledge to repair them or are intimidated by the prospect of fixing them.
FenderPro describes in detail the modern repair techniques necessary to restore the function to damaged composite parts. Both structural and cosmetic repairs are covered thoroughly. Composites are gaining acceptance in all types of modern vehicles, especially trucks. The more they are used, the more they will begin to fatigue and break. When the parts break they do not all have to be replaced. Following the FenderPro fiberglass truck repair system, anyone should feel confident enough to embark on simple repair projects. Even difficult tasks can be accomplished by intermediates. This system is intended to get anyone started. Practice will truly make perfect. This repair system can guide you to get good results the first time.
