Well... working 6 days a week (mon-sat) 7 hrs on site a day. It's about 90% ins work and we've been doing $40 cash jobs. We've done a couple "on the house" jobs and the word got around how we helped them. People are happy, the rent is high... but we haven't had this much work ever. Come the 31st of this month it will be closed till next year. We also have a deal with a local glass shop who pay for each replacement referral we provide.

Omni,

Would you happen to have any pics of your setup to show? Be interesting to see them. Also, do you have to pay a monthly fee for business permits? One last question, you used the word "we" does that mean your paying somebody to help with insurance calls ect...?

Thanks

What is a BFE?

Not a boring post at all very interesting

1000 per month rent if you set up 5 days per week that averages out to be 50 buck per day or 1 insurance repair that's not bad but I suspect things will slow down as just for the simple fact that after a while everyone who has a chip tha's driven by will either have had it fixed or let it crack out. It's a cycle
