Automotive Interior Restoration Training – Day 7 thru 9

posted in Tech Tips, Training |

I have one thing to say…HOT! It has been scorching hot the past few days and I want to apologize for not keeping up with the progress on the Automotive Interior Restoration Training, but when I’ve gotten home at night I have just been to pooped to write.

Things have been going really good though and I have to say I am really confident that Bob will do just fine when he returns to South Dakota. He has really improved on every aspect in this business over the past 2 weeks, but I also have to say one thing and this really isn’t a brag, but it has been how he has been trained and the products we use. When I started I didn’t have half of what he has gotten or the products that we have in today’s market. I had to basically learn most of what I know today by trial and error, reading on the internet, asking a ton of questions of my suppliers, and the products I had were well let’s say not anywhere near what I use today.

These past few days I have basically stood by and watched while he has done the repairs. I’ve only stepped in when he has really needed it, but really he has done the repairs. He has done an amazing job and I am really proud to call him “my” trainee. Yes there are a few things yet he still has to learn but a lot of that will come with experience and practice. This is something that doesn’t come over night, it takes practice and time.

We have covered a lot of what he will come across in the repair world from leather repairs and vinyl repairs to carpet dyeing and cloth repair, granted there will be things I know he will come across that I haven’t taught him but with the limited time we have had I just can’t show him every little thing. But with the things we have covered I have confidence in him that he will do just fine. He really has the drive and the ability to figure things out on his own, which is something that is needed in this business to survive.

I would like to invite you to my Automotive Interior Repair Training program if your serious about starting a new career and making a new life for yourself. Just drop me an email with your phone number and I’ll be sure to give you a call about the details.

Talk to ya soon,

Mike “TIG”

Hi Mr Mike “TIG” Im really excited about what you do to upholstery, I fount out obout this where my BMW was so clean inside, I could not believe it, until after three years I tood the leather conditioner and some of the paint starting coming off, I immediately stopped and begin to analyze. To my surprsise they had redone the leather seats, it was great to say the least, I simply could not belive that after all this time I never cought up with ti, well being recently unemployed and loving good cars so much I am really intrested in being able to do this for peoples vehicles and learn from you as much as I can, please tell me about these courses. You have my email address, again thanks a ton of gratitud Mike.

By the way, many more are just keeping their vehicles a little longer (crisis)
