New guy needing help starting out
Posted: August 6th, 2013, 1:02 pm
Hey guys, my name is Steven and i'm also a newbie to the windshield repair business. I've been reading through the forum for a couple of months now, and it along with Korey, have really helped me get started. I have formed my LLC, retained ins. through RLI, purchased a two pedestal kit from Delta Kits, and have practiced on an old windshield I set up in my office, as well as in my local junkyard. I have in total did about a 70 something repairs. It took me a while just to learn how to create a proper break to practice on. Ive sprayed them down and dried them off a couple times with my moisture evaporator, hair dryer, just because you guys emphasize the importance of practicing on a wet windshield. I ordered a couple of shirts with my name and my company name on them, i'm waiting on my business cards and magnetic signs to come in as well. I'm located 40 miles south of Nashville, and was wondering if there was anyone close, or even relatively close that I could possibly shadow for a little while and see someone experienced do repairs and learn some hands on. I hope to get to go do the training Delta offers, its just going to be a little while before I can afford the flight out. This forum is a blessing and a wealth of knowledge, so any advice, tips or info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
