The most windshields fixed in a day?

[Chris Williams (Trinsic)]

Well you at least need to tell us the story.

The most I've done in a day is 28 repairs, but that's only on 4 windscreens in total. It was for a bedding company with 28 trucks. 2 of em had about 8 breaks each. Took about 4 hours.

couple times a year I do a Scool Bus fleet they are all lined up I bring my son we work 5 injectors 30-40 busses with chips are an all day job I charge em $15 a bus the glass in the things only cost $35 and takes 10 minutes to install so you cant charge em much for repairs I usually pick up some retail stuff while there on the drivers personal cars as well

Sorry,
Impossible! Please explain! 2 hours? They let you post here?

[Bill D]

I want to tread carefully here. I am not accusing anyone of stretching the truth, but how in God's world are those figures possible?
These forums are for newbies, and they are going to believe they will make this kind of money!
I am going on 17 years, so please tell me what I have done wrong!

Jeff,
Thanks for letting me post again.

Bill D The question we answered was how many repairs in a day. I admit I changed this slightly to how much money earnt. It does not matter that not every one will reach these figures, we were asked a question and we give an answer.

An average day for most quality techs over here should be about £300 if you are not doing that the reason is probably you do not have the right amount or mix of customers. I would suggest after 17 years if you have not had days like £600+ then this is your problem. I would think every seasoned tech should be able to do 25= screens in a day not every day but once in a while should not be a problem.

You have come back to the forum and straight away you call us liars, someone might have been having a bit of fun. I can assure you I was telling the truth.

It is very important to increase prices each year, how many people do this? How many say they cannot without actualy trying. That used car dealer will always tell you the other guy does it for less, call his bluff. Make mystery phone calls to your opposition you may be suprised what they charge.

The figures are possible if you have a fleet account with that many repairs available to you. I would suggest you haven't run into that situation in 17 years. Any one starting out has the possibility of doing this.

Bill the point that you seemed to miss with the obvios big fish story of 7,324 followed with the tell tale lol was that the number of repairs done in a day doesnt really matter its what do you earn and how hard do you work. I spent 20+ years on the sales floor of varios car dealerships and seem many guys with 20 yrs in the buisness who knew less about it than the guy who had been there a couple months. Te way to succeed in this buisness is the ability to sell followed by the ability to be consistant. The new guys are told how to find accounts and how to keep them once you are in. The actual repair process could be taught to anyone including a slow chimp the buisness end most will never succeed at. hard work and the ability to sell is my formula for success follow it or dont I still get paid
