Repair1,

I agree, some people make their living just servicing dealers...Any tips on how to get dealer accounts, or how to keep them once you have them? Any pitfalls to watch out for?

Hi All, I'm thinking about getting into the windshied repair business, and was wondering "How many repairs do you do on a average week" ? Thanks for you time. Ed

Hey EWK,
It really varies because of weather and dozens of other factors. However my personal average is between 30 to 35 insurance jobs a week. Which equals out to $1500 to $1800 per week. Now I do have weeks where I don't do that, like during the christmas season and rainy season but that is an average if weather holds for me. Hope that helps.

1 week before Christmas I sent out a 2 page letter to 35 of my poorest customers ( I have been in the Mobile Detail business over 2 1/2 years & just added windshield repair) telling them about the new equiptment and the WSR service and enclosing 2 business cards offering $10 of WSR and on the other offering $10 off any full detail!

By poorest customer I mean the ones who I have not cleaned their vheicle for over 3 months or have cleaned it only once this year.

As of this eve. I have received 4 calls 3 for windshield repair and 1 for a detail.

Anyone who is adding windshield repair to your present business should try this! It works!

Hi All

I have recently decided to get into this biz. I think I have found the gold mine of information here in this forum. So far I have read the posts about marketing and i see there are tried and true ways to make good money that are being freely shared. Thanks to all and mostly you David for your wealth of information. I will be getting my equipment with in a month and will studying these posts as I go. Thanks also for the new guys that have posted how well they are doing using the ideas. My hopes run high. I am not afraid off working my tail off or being told no, been there done that just happy to see the Pros sharing with us new guys.
