I have a few questions right off the bat and I am sure some more will follow in threads to come.
1. I am pretty short 5'6", will this put a damper on some of my repairs..you know.... unable to reach the center on big vehicles or fleets? Anybody out there short...is this a issue?
2. What is the shelf life on resin, not that I plan on it staying around that long but if I was to buy a used kit should I just throw out whatever is in it and buy new.
3. How much different is delta's new style injector to the old one? Advantages-Disadvantages..etc.
4. How much research did you do before jumping into this business. I have tried to find competition and it seems no one really advertises unless they do replacement as well. How do I find out who I am competing with?
5. Are fleet accounts pretty loyal or do you find they change us out like underwear. I guess this is a catch22 I would like for them to switch to me and then be loyal...lol.
Anyway I guess that's it for now. Anyone out there live in the Denver area. That's where I want to move to sometime within the next 5 months.
Thanks in advance!

Here are some answers to consider:
1. Purchase a medium sized step ladder preferably nonmetalic incase it falls so it doesn't scratch the customers paint.
2. I have been told by different suppliers that as long as the resin is liquid is is ok... Not sure if this is true.
3. I like both
4. I did very little research because I had a contract setup before I bought my equipment.
5. Dealers are usually first come first serve or the cheapest price. Our dealers always want something for nothing.
Hope this helps. I'm in a hurry...Got a basketball game to go to and a repair to do after that.
