    Oh hail no!

    Hello everyone,

    It`s been a long time since I have been around as we are just very busy, we have 6 employees now and we are trying to keep up with all the hail repairs coming in from what is now the largest and most expensive hail storm in US history!!

    We have also been interviewed by the local news just after the storms on how to detect bad hail repairs and water damage plus a cool little story in a local news type magazine, linked here:

    This Aston Martin V12 Vantage has a special coating on its paint... Photo-8672721.117352 - San Antonio Express-News

    We are now looking for land to buy and build a shop as we have outgrown our current shop by a large margin.

    Hope to be at SEMA this year so stop by the Optimum booth and say "Howdy!"

    Anthony

    Hey all, thanks for the comments and Dan, stop in anytime......after September 2019!! Haha

    Ya we are bokked till August right now and it will stretch out beyond that I am sure. Ron has been stressed out over all this as he handles most of the hail repair appointments and we have 5 hail techs in various places around town contracting for us also so it`s a wild circus but ya gotta get it while ya can!!

    Take care all,
    Anthony

    Anthony:
    I know you are busy but,
    Is there anyway you could post some pictures of hail-damaged vehicles and how they are repaired or even just some before-and-after`s if you do not wish to divulge your trade secrets for repairing hail damage???

    At least we know you are alive and doing well. You truly are one of the long-time Autopian All-Stars, even if you haven`t had the time to post as frequently as you (or us fellow Autopians) would like!

    Hello,

    Sure I can do that, it will be a fun shift to something different. Also, thanks for the kind comments.

    Take care,
