The body shops that took part were the following: GIANNI BALESTRA CARSERVICE SRL, GIORDANO CAR, PITROLO PASQUALE, OFFICINA PENNESTRI, PROGETTO SERVICE and CARROZZERIA KENNEDY.
The training week opened with an introduction by our Technical Director and Academy Director, Carlo Mottola, focusing on the approach to repairing medium damage and the method used to restore a car with extensive hail damage. Under the guidance of Flavio Iavarone (the Ballsystem Academy Training Manager), the participants then carried out the practical session on cold repair (the Paintless Dent Repair method).
On the second day, a classroom session was held with Eduardo Capasso and Gabriele Chiucchiù, who addressed the topic of authority, focusing in particular on damage estimation and customer management.
On the Thursday evening, Ballsystem invited participants to the Centumbrie winery. It was an pleasant evening of relaxation, with a tour of the winery followed by a tasting of typical local products.
The final day featured a presentation by Lapo Paladini from the Action body shop, a long-standing Ballsystem GreenPartner, who concluded the training cycle by sharing his experience within the network and his pathway of growth following the adoption of the cold repair method: Ballsystem has been fundamental to the growth of the services I have been able to offer at my body shop. The training was demanding and, even now, after finishing my regular work, I practise for 2-3 hours a day to improve, but it is well worth it.”
