Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
Since 1983
What is your primary product or service?
We repair auto interiors from the headliner to the carpet and seats, door panels, dashes, you name it. Cloth, velour, vinyl & leather, and hard plastic can all be repaired. In the home and business we repair vinyl and leather furniture. We also do redyeing and resewing. One of our main services is windshield repair.
We also have a small sign business we run from our home from appointments. If interested in having work done, just call us. We make magnetic, banners, and fleet vehicle decals.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
I had been a draftsman and artist for the highway dept., UVA, County of Albemarle, VEPCO's neuclear power station, and Acme Visible Records in Crozet, VA. Plus verious odd jobs from selling photo albums and vacuums from door to door to making bridles for horses.
After about 20 years of doing the above, I wanted to get out of the office and work with my hands. I hate to see things being thrown away just because it needs to be repaired. So that was my motivation to get into this kind of business. Never a dull moment.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
I repair where they replace. I am a mobile business so I go to the customer. There is little or no down time for them. I have a good relationship with other businesses in my category and actually do work for them and sometimes buy supplies from them.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
We are a Mom & Pop sort of company that works from our home in Ruckersville, VA. and have no plans to expand other than to improve on and provide other services. One thing is that now you can drop off dashboards to be repaired.
