- www.chip-happe... On this channel I do rock chip repairs and crack repairs in windshields. These videos are not intended to teach you anything about the business or doing repairs, it's just for entertainment purposes. This channel is about my business and what I do and how I do repairs, if you are thinking about starting a business such as this, it's best to take a class to learn the proper way of doing repairs and then make sure you get the proper state registration and licenses that apply in your area, and insurance. Again this channel is not intended to teach you anything it's here to provide entertainment and to show you as a customer what to expect from one of my repairs.

What a fantastic philosophy, seeing happy customers because you are doing it at bargains rates and you can make more money is amazing. I have only seen this one video of yours but I can see you are a good guy who does a first class job because you care about what you do. As Stevie has said below you are looking at around $70 dollar equivalent here in the UK, if I could get it done here for $20 equivalent I would jump at the chance.
It's about the same here $70 or more is what most are charging now and it's crazy to me that someone thinks it needs to be that expensive
I would not repair that windshield with a big chip in front of the drivers field of vision, that is now a comprised piece of glass and in most states that is not even legal
you are incorrect, in most states it is legal and in fact the repair in most cases is stronger than the original glass.
Got a kit from RainX once and repaired some chips on my truck and my folks, it worked.
They do work, if you use them correctly
Here in the UK it is between 50-60 pounds per chip. Great job you are doing.
In the UK there is the services and goods act (or is it the other way around?) that make the liability and warranty requirements of the repair more costly. Also, the cost of traveling to the customer and time in between customers is likely higher in the UK. I would not be surprised if you could get a good deal if you weren't expecting "a receipt for your car insurance company" and/or they could do a few repairs in the same location, like your neighbors or friends cars. I have seen plenty of car club meets where a repair person was performing a "group buy" deal where 10 or more members would have windshield repairs, mobile aircon service or paintless dent removal done at a much more favorable rate than the one you would get for an individual service.
It's about the same here but it don't have to be, the fact is this is a profit based business I could get away with charging only $10 but again would have to do a lot more repairs to pay the bills.
Nice clear relaxing audio...
Glad you liked it
If it costs you $10 to get those dozen eggs to the market, you are either making $2 per dozen at a sales price of $12, or losing $7 at a sales price of $3, no matter how many eggs you sell. Having a lower entrance price for your service and charging extra for more than one chip removal is smart if your cost to drive to the customer, the materials and tool maintenance and other business costs can still yield you a profit at that rate. Your cost in materials may be only $1 or so per chip, but travel costs, bookkeeping and such add up, don't count yourself rich without looking at monthly costs and costs per customer/chip. Do you give a warranty? Do you pay for a new windshield if you crack the windshield beyond repair while you work? Maybe others do for their $35? Are you legally mandated to do so? Is this a side job or is it your only income? For business to business, do you charge $20 for one chip and if they have 50 cars on the lot that need chips removed only $10 per chip more?
I get 35 miles to the gallon on my bike, it cost me about 30 dollars a week to ride it, my resin cost me 64 dollars for the small bottle and I get 200 repairs out of a bottle, my insurance to replace a windshield if needed is 600 per year, that's 50 dollars a month, tool maintenance is minimal, so yes being in business I have done all the math and believe me sometimes you make money charging less for your service and working more. It may not be that way everywhere, but considering I go to the customer and the ones charging 70 or more are sitting in a shop not going anywhere , just waiting for people to come to them, they should be charging a lot less considering that they are making a huge profit from installing windshields all day.
What kind of cleaner do you use for the windshields?
I use alcohol that's 90% isopropyl alcohol, so half alcohol and half water. Makes the best cleaner
