Re: Plate Glass Repair
Hey Toab, You passing on the repair was a good choice due to not having the correct resin. It is not any cheaper than regular resins hence the difference in cost per repair. Tell your prospect he or she should consider replacement due to the reduced structural integrety of the glass and the liability issues theat come with it. When it fails, (the glass) and it will, if there are injurys, the folks who are injured can assign blame to the shop owner that failed to protect them from the damaged glass. I usually use this as a pitch on the naysayers with mixed results. Your bid of $75. is probably lower than 10% of the replacement cost BTW so I think there is room for raising your price to cover for the additional resin consumed.
I like the film idea Brent, I think I'll give that a go om my next repair to see how it works. Thanks, Scott
