-leather cleaning/reconditioning
-soon ill test my hands at headlight/tailight restoration to try for myself .
etc

Keep your head up, keep practicing and always be positive in the face of the customer. It`s nice to see you posting again.

I advertise a lot of services. However to be honest the only services I have ever been asked to do are full details 90% of the time and the other 10% is interior only. However, I imagine services provided have alot to do with what area you are in. In Kansas delivering a slab of ribs would probably be the best upsell I could offer or maybe a bail of hay - lol

I will be offering headlight, taillight, turn signal, and dome light replacement with the option of led when available. I`ll also be offering wiper blade replacement. In the future I`d like to offer tire rotation and balancing along with tire installation for customers that buy tires online. Flat repair, PDR, and windshield repair also.

I believe there are opportunities to earn $$$$ everywhere, being mobile I could have a few extra tools with me.

PDR is a good biz ya can do it anywhere and make some $$$$$$.

You can practice around town, lots of dents to fix all over.

Pinstripes is another add on ya can also do mobile. Mobil window tinting is a good one "its hard to control the dust" most work from a shop but the mopes will pay on 6th street.

So Dave, whats this about auto related or stacking wood?

Wheel repair is another mobile deal, and interior repair. Seats,headliners,Glass repair,Paint chips. Fix a flat road services, most ya can do from a car, ah ya do have the van.

Auto glass is a big market you do have the van, replace windows and windshields. Auto electric is wide open and big $$ per hr.

I know ya can do whatever ya choose Dave, you will find your niche...

In all honesty if you are good at what you do and you are enthusiastic about it you can sell anything you want because people can read yer confidence and enthusiasm and know you will do a good job.

You and Gus can team up and sell sell sell, WHAT I HAVE NO IDEA.

I have a guy who refinishes furniture who keeps pushing me in the direction of upholstry repair, and I have had a ton of folks ask me if I do it. Maybe someday I`ll make that investment because that could take me anywhere. Auto, school busses, restaraunts, just about any business that has covered seating. I believe it is a rather inexpensive initial investment of a few grand.
