Dent Wizard Adds Two Members to Business Development Team

Dent Wizard International has added two regional business development managers to its team. Laura Sobyak will oversee the Midsouth region, and Tim South will oversee the West region. Sobyak’s position is newly created, which the company says represents further expansion of Dent Wizard’s national sales coverage.
 
In these roles, Sobyak and South will focus on growing Dent Wizard’s customer base for paintless dent removal, chip and scratch repair, bumper repair, interior repair, wheel restoration, hail damage repair services and more, as well as Dent Wizard’s new Frontline Fast, Ding Shield and MINT programs. Sobyak will report to Addison Thomas, Dent Wizard’s regional vice president for the Midsouth region, and South will report to Don Coleman, Dent Wizard’s regional vice president for the West region.
 
Sobyak brings more than 20 years of experience in the automotive industry, including roles as sales and financing account manager, national sales manager, and, most recently, as territory manager for Southern Auto Finance Company.
 
South has nearly 30 years of experience in the automotive industry, including roles as territory manager, financing account manager, and, most recently, as general sales manager for John Hine Mazda in San Diego, Calif.

“The addition of talented, service-oriented people such as Laura and Tim is representative of the commitment that Dent Wizard is making nationally in our steady transition from just PDR services to a broad menu of cosmetic reconditioning programs and services," said Mike Black, chief operating officer for Dent Wizard. "We are asking Laura and Tim to ramp up the communication and share Dent Wizard’s true value proposition within the dealer channel. Our programs reduce the reconditioning cycle time and ensure our dealers sell cars more quickly, and for more money.  We are excited to have both on our team.”
