 Rainy Days Are Here Again!Hello everyone its been awhile. I chose a new screen name. I used to be chprfixr, it was to close to another user so i changed it. O.k. your probably saying who cares, well your right but i am back anyway. Who does mobile repairs in bad weather and how do you combat the rain successfully while choosing to work in it. does anybody offer products or services for an upsell, like air fresheners,lightbulb replacement etc... p.s. good to be back on the forum. [/b]

You are right chprfixr AKA CHIPTECH.
Who cares? Just kidding... Rainy days are the time to catch up with your paperwork and do some telecon prospecting or chasing down overdue receivables. A good repair isn't accomplished until the damage is dried out. Would you try to mix cement and lay a concrete patio on a rainy day? Welcome back.

Of course. You can lay concrete in rain. Concrete does not need dry weather to cure. You can lay concrete under water if you want.
This is not true on windshield repair. I would think that you could move the vehicle inside to do the work as long as the chip is dry. Has anyone used the devices the dry the area to be repaired? Nelson

I personaly use an EZ-UP Tent. Cost me $199 at Sams Club. I set it up over the vehicle and then I use my chip dryer and dry the chip out. If that doesn't work I use a cotton tip and use Denatured Alcohol and let it sit for a few minutes to dry. Then I take my hair dryer and warm the windshield up slowly. Yea it takes a little longer but you have to find ways to do business whatever the weather is like. Hope that helps.

Mine is two part: (1) I try not to do any that's been wet for the last couple of hours. HOwever, if it's just a fine mist for a shirt time and I feel as though water hasn't seeped into the damaged area I do this (2) I meet them at the nearest car wash. That way in case it starts to rain we pull into the bay. Noone washes their car when it's about to rain and no attendants have asked me to leave. Of course I do this very rarely but it is a good place to meet just in case the "bottom drops out" when your about to cure.

I agree with desert star I personally don’t try to find work on rainy days if someone calls me and the car has been under cover I will do it I will dry them if needed. Other than that I do paper work look for new customers etc. and enjoy a nice long cup of coffee.
Happy Repairing brian
