Well, after 6 years of 2 full-time jobs, I have decided to scale back to where I started, repair only. I am simply exhausted and I'm missing out on too much with my growing children (3 and 6 years old). The mobile replacement business was very lucrative for me and allowed my wife to stay home to car...

That ProSet tool looks terrifying! No way. I have an original Lil Buddy and it's not as great as some of the latest stuff, but it does the job just fine. No way am I suctioning something to a hood. Hope it works for those who have it.

If in the elements I will run the customers car with the defrost on a medium temperature to warm the glass a bit, and if there is pre...

To distill Dempster's post, some things I've learned along those lines: Quality is number one and you can charge more than the competition for that. Every swingin' dick wants to put in an windshield for $150, but he won't be there next month. Guarenteed. Communication with your customer is so import...
