Hello guys, I've been lurking here for over a year but still haven't taken the plunge. I am saving now to get a kit and will be going with Delta.

Anyway, about the beautiful thing I just witnessed. There is a local glass co. that handles all the vehicles at the fire alarm company I work for.(I plan on them being my first fleet customer) They show up to repair a rock chip on one of the guys personal vehicles. Another service guy here looks at me and says "I gotta get out there cause I got a rock chip I need fixed on my work truck." Once out there he remembers that he has one in his personal truck too. So to make a long story short just by showing up and doing 1 they do 2 more repairs which takes about 30 minutes. I was surprised at how excited this got me! I mean I have read about this on the forum but it was pretty neat to watch it unfold. I know this doesn't sound like anything special to many of you guys.

They only charged $35.00 per repair though so that was a little disappointing.(Cheap skates) And to be honest, I am no expert but the repairs didn't look that good. Still had air in them.

Sorry so long.
See ya!

Happens every day. Welcome to WSR! Even better when they all have insurance to cover the repair.

I guess thats what I get for too much reading and dreaming about windshield repair and not doing it. Those should have been my repairs!

About a month ago they came out one morning and did like 6 vehicles, but I wasn't here that day, just heard about it. Good thing cause I don't think my heart cuold have stood it! LOL

Buy the kit, get some training, learn how to do a good repair and the $35 guys who leave air in the cracks will be out there every day pushing jobs your way.
Then -- commit to being the best in town, run a good-looking ad in the yellows and do all the chips you can.
Then -- load your IRAs, buy real estate, live within your means and call your Mom once in a while.
Let us know how you're coming along -
