Taking courses in Windshield Repair, Alloy Wheel Repair and more will provide you the opportunity to advertise yourself in multiple ways. This suggestion is not necessarily because of what is coming down the pipeline, it just makes financial sense. Depending on where you live, you may need the extra possibilities for your customers. If you’re more rural well then you need to take every course available. If you live in a metro area you may not need as much but should definitely consider Alloy Wheel Repair. There are a lot of high end cars that will need your services.
Each vehicle that you work on, for whatever their needs, is a lead into another service that you offer. Take advantage of every opportunity because a happy customer is a return customer. Up sell and watch your bank account fill up with money. Work smart not hard.
