ST. LOUIS – Dent Wizard International, the largest provider of vehicle reconditioning services in North America, recently announced the promotion of Addison Thomas to president, in addition to his current role as chief operating officer. Thomas’ promotion is effective Jan. 1, 2022. 

Thomas has served as Dent Wizard’s COO since 2018, leading the company’s core service operations team. He served in various roles with Dent Wizard over the past 20 years, including VP of Operations and RVP of the West region. Thomas also previously served as president of Jahabow Industries, a commercial equipment manufacturer. 

“I continue to be humbled, honored and privileged to serve as Dent Wizard’s COO and now president,” said Thomas about his new role. “While my goal will be to continue to advance our strategy as a growth company, I will be focused on two key areas in support of our strategy: I want to continue to increase our value proposition to our customers so we are a true partner supporting their goals; and I want to continue to make Dent Wizard a great place for a career, providing unique and rewarding opportunities for our team members to grow and maximize their potential.” 

“I am excited about the experience, skill, and passion Addison brings to this position,” said Mike Black, CEO of Dent Wizard. “His combination of strategic approach, creative problem solving, and analytical thought processes have been invaluable. As COO he’s helped Dent Wizard achieve our growth goals and deliver our value proposition to customers. And more impressively he’s stayed the course on these objectives while navigating through the COVID-altered environment.”
