Additional Business Ideas

terryalex29
I have been a locksmith for a little over two years and have just added repairs to my business. I like it because I have to wait for the customers to call me for the locksmith part and if I do not get any calls I can go out and find windshields to repair. I live in Seminole a small town of about 7000 people in Texas. The closest larger city is Lubbock to the North 80 miles and Midland-Odessa to the South 80 Miles. I am the only Locksmith in Seminole and there is one other person that is doing windshield repairs. Is there anyone else that has added repairs to a business, or that has added a business to the repairs.

Hello and good luck on the new adventure Terry. I added the WSR to an existing business and am very happy with the results!! I am thinking of streamlining to strictly WSR to simplify inventory etc. I enjoy people and my other business has been with the dealers. Here in the Northwest the glass shops give free repairs to them so I just do private customers and the market is good. Good Luck repairing, Scott :~)

Hello TerryAlex!
Since you asked, like a few of my collegues, I have other pursuits beyond WSR.
As an international SuperSpy Playboy, I discovered a marvelous excuse to watch those attempting to follow me by looking into windshields.
David Coit ( aka the Coitster ) uses windshields as his portal to other Galaxies. I only went along locally with him training, so I am clueless to his return path.
Our long-in-the-tooth Associate, DesertStars, out in the Wild West is said to be constantly be checking his reflection daily to watch for the emergence of his Wolfman alter-ego.
We have a number of loyal Americans deeply undercover watching our Northern Border.- Sacre Bleu, it is TRUE! They fix all the windshields those nefarious Canadians ding out with their overladen freight platforms.
It is said that among Delta administration there is something of magnificient import deeply hidden, but I haven't yet been privy to that information. After I woo the company secretary there with my winning ways, I MIGHT pass along those secrets as well.
Sincerely
ChipAway

Hey Terry,
Guess your finding out that some of us windshield people should be making extra money being part time clowns. I think that's great that you want to do WSR as an added service. Also think about glass buffing! I personally have added glass buffing to my windshield services to fix all those scracthes our local police and locksmiths keep putting in the door glasses when using a slim jim. Not to mention some of the less experienced PDR guys mess ups I run into. I love it
We all seem to work together somehow

Steering
I am the only one on this forum with any semblance of sanity about me and that is based on fact based on other facts plus a comprehensive review of every post posted since 1950 all reviewed, re-reviewed and memorized.
I go way back to the days before Super Glue and car-wash technicians when we used to say, "Nope. Can't fix a windshield. No such thing. Impossible. Never will be. Forget it. $350 installed."
And, just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean someone isn't following me!
It wouldn't be a bad idea for some of ya pups to check out the rear-view mirror more often. While you're at it, a periscope capable of spying on the NETWORK satellites and black helicopters STEERING you around your particular burg would also be advisable.
(Jeff. YOU are paranoid if you think for even a New York minute I was talking about THOSE networks and steering. Get a grip and get off the edge of your seat, by golly.)
I have another profession along with w/s repair also.
But, Just like my mentor Chuck Barry from the old Gong Show, it's secret and if I tell you I'll need to kill you.
And, as far as "long in the tooth" is concerned, Chipaway, the better to bite you in the neck should the occasion arise.
It's us older guys that lived and remember history before the present revisionist history manufactured by spin doctors even existed.
I vividly remember the day JFK was shot in November of 1961 and I knew even then that some NETWORK STEERED Oswald to the Texas Book Repository that day.
