Windshield Repair Forum

Alamo,

My best advice, especially for someone new, is practice PRACTICE PRACTICE!!! Before you hose up someone's ride. And when you think you know what you are doing, always explain to your customer that their windshield is already hopelessly broken, and thus, you will attempt to repair it. Once repaired, you're good to go. Be very careful with pressure and heat, that is what causes crack outs. Make their expectations low and the end product well beyond their expectations. Good luck!!!

Thanks!

Is this business as good as they say it is?

This business, like all businesses, is as good as you the owner makes it.

It all boils down to what you put into it, whether it's your business or your marriage!

Here's my advice - Print this out, put it someplace where you'll see it and do what it says.

All they did was car washes and gas stations and tried to have us push the sales. So I bought my own kit and left there and I'm going to try to succeed independently. I was thinking of way more appointments and less tents. Any other suggestions for this new guy in the field? Also I live in new jersey. Thanks ahead of time.

I don't think you require any more suggestion, you already have now a lot, i better advise to GET STARTED

Anyone can be taught to do a repair but selling it is a another story. If you cant sell Learn how too or you will fail. lots of how to stuff available at the book store
