ST. LOUIS – Dent Wizard International, a provider of vehicle reconditioning services in North America, recently announced the promotions of Carl Lekebusch to senior vice president, as well as Dan Bowers to regional vice president for Florida and Tim Forloine II to regional vice president for the Chesapeake area. The promotions were effective Jan. 1, 2022. 

Lekebusch joins Michael Fedorowich as a second Sr. VP serving the U.S., a newly created position. Lekebusch will lead the south and west regions; Fedorowich the north and east. In his new role Lekebusch will continue to report to Addison Thomas, president and COO, and will also join the company’s Senior Leadership Team. 

Lekebusch began his career with Dent Wizard in 1994 as a route PDR technician servicing dealerships in Massachusetts. He advanced in the company, serving in various management positions including district manager in New York and most recently as Dent Wizard’s regional vice president for the Florida region. 

Dan Bowers replaces Lekebusch as regional VP of Florida. Bowers’ previous positions at Dent Wizard include regional auction manager, regional operations director and most recently as VP of operations. 

New Regional VP of Chesapeake, Tim Forloine II, started with Dent Wizard in 2000 as a PDR tech and has since served in various roles including regional technical trainer, sales manager and for the last 12 years district manager over the Maryland, Virginia, and Delaware markets. 

“The promotions of Carl, Dan and Tim, plus the more focused designations of our service territories, are examples of how we’re supporting our customers with more boots on the ground,” said Addison Thomas, Dent Wizard’s president and COO. “They have market experience and knowledge that will bring significant value to our customers.”
