Dent Wizard International, a provider of automotive reconditioning and SMART (Small to Medium Area Repair Techniques) repairs, recently appointed Paul Spears as regional operations director for the company’s Mid-South region.

Spears will be responsible for leading Dent Wizard’s safety and compliance efforts, as well as providing additional operational support for the company’s paint shops and dealerships that use Frontline Fast (a SMART repair program). Spears will report to Addison Thomas, Dent Wizard’s vice president of the Mid-South region, which includes Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas and Utah.

 “Paul brings an extensive knowledge base and practical firsthand understanding to his new role,” Thomas said in a news release. “I am confident that Paul possesses the technical skillset and industry expertise to thrive in his new role.”

“Safety and compliance are top of mind throughout the Dent Wizard organization,” added Mike Black, Dent Wizard’s chief operating officer. “Paul’s experience and perspective will ensure we’re meeting our high standards as we continue to grow Frontline Fast in this 10-state territory.”
