In this role, 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 Frontline Fast dealer-clients. Frontline Fast is a SMART repair program that helps remarketers and wholesalers prepare vehicles for sale sooner and in top condition so vehicles sell for maximum profit.

Spears is a seasoned automotive professional, having previously served as a purchasing manager for Manheim Dallas Auto Auction, assistant manager at ADESA Auto Auction, and most recently as reconditioning manager for Manheim Dallas-Ft. Worth Auto Auction.

Mike Black, Dent Wizard’s chief operating officer, added, “Safety and compliance are top of mind throughout the Dent Wizard organization. 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.”
