Just ordered my kit!!!

[rscatoe]

I have been looking into windshield repair for a few months now. I finally ordered my repair kit today. I ordered the EZK-125 Silver Anniverssary Repair System and the HLPRO202 Platinum Headlight Restoration Kit. I spoke with Tammy on the phone for quite a while, and she was very helpful. She missed the UPS truck while I was placing the order, so she sent one of the guys to the UPS store to ship my package. She was great! She made me feel very comfortable with my decision to purchase a Delta Kit.

I manage an auto parts store, and today one of our limosine companies priced a set of headlights for their Lincoln Town Car. They were $250 each and had to be factory ordered. I asked why he was buying both. He said the lenses were all yellowed. He had bought some paste to clean the lenses, and it didn't work. I told him I was starting a sideline business restoring headlights, and I was planning on having the tools I need by next weekend. I told him I could fix his headlights for a fraction of what new ones would cost. I got my first customer lined up before I even got my tools. How awesome is that?

I already have another home based business, so I know all about EIN's, business licenses, incorporating, and all that stuff. Liability insurance has been the hardest thing for me to find. I spoke to a local agent, and she said she couldn't write a policy for less than $700-$800 a year. I have browsed this forum for weeks, and I think I should be able to find a policy for less than $200 a year. Tammy gave a number for RLI, so I will call them next week.

I would also like to hear more about pricing. I know that windhshields generally run $60+$10+$10. What about headlight repair? I told my customer $50, but Tammy told me Delta charges $100 with a $25 coupon for a referral. Also, what kind of pricing to you give to fleet customers?

I am looking forward to getting into winshield repair. I welcome any tips or advice anyone wants to offer. Thanks for your help!

I am excited to get started in this business, and I welcome any advice anyone can offer.

I priced another set of headlights today for a 99 Cougar today. They were over $200 each. I told my customer I could restore his lenses for $50. He was one of our best commercial accounts, and it was his daughter's car. Normally I think I should charge $75 a pair. I have another job lined up for this weekend, and I haven't even gotten my tools yet.

I now have a $500,000 liability policy for $217 a year through RLI. I wouldn't have gotten as far as I have this quickly without this forum. Thanks!

I got my headlight restoration kit and windshield repair kits in today. I didn't waste any time unpacking them. I was really impressed with the quality of the tools. I went to work right away on the headlights on my 2001 Taurus. They turned out great! I can't wait to get to work on customers' cars and start making some money!
