If you are really want to make money in the auto industry you must have multiple steams of income. WR by itself just does not cut it. You need to branch out into other avenues. I started WR with Glass Mechanix but changed to Glass Technology because it's a far better product.

I started in WR seven years ago only to be disappointed by the low pay and a highly competitive market here in South Florida. Then I went to school to learn leather and vinyl repairs.

Now I offer Leather, Vinyl and Windshield repairs. With the added services you triple the opportunity to make money. So if you want to make real money in this industry you need to offer multiple services that are fairly quick to perform for maximum income.

If you are interested in trying leather and vinyl repairs, I offer training. I do not push any one system, I use the best products from a few different distributors. My only angle is to offer good quality training and I will freely give you the distributors (I found) that have the best repair products in the industry.

Have a good one.

My charge for leather & vinyl repairs depends on the type of damage I'm repairing. My minimum fee is $50 for interior work on cars and furniture, boats and airplanes I start at $80.

A typical car seat repair and re-dye will take 30 min and I'll get $60, 2 bucket seats for $100. Complete re-dye car interiors (front and back seats) go for about $250 to $300. Any repairs are extra.

If you do boats and airplanes the fees are much higher.

I just finished a complete re-dye on a 3 piece leather sectional sofa that had ink damage and charged $650 and they were happy to pay it because the replacement cost was $7000.

There's money in leather and vinyl repairs and the work is easy. However there is a learning curve to learn the craft.

Thanks
