See, that makes sense to me, having "headlight" in the business name. I have a stronger idea of what they do and why I would need their services.

Maybe I missed this, but, having run a tutoring business as well as XAH's photography business (and having seen my father run a continuous improvement business for years)...do you have a business plan in place? Perhaps if you did have one fleshed out, with clear objectives, you might qualify for some government funding to help you out...

Also, I know this has probably been mentioned before but...

"I can see clearly now"
or
"Let there be light"

There are NO dumb questions.

No, and that's part of the beauty/simplicity of the process. It's "mobile", I come to you, home or school or work, and refurbish them right on the automobile!

All of my supplies are literally in a 5 gallon bucket, which makes a "handy" stool. Not to mention a "fabulous" fashion statement in my newest favorite color, "lime green".

Thanks and God bless us all,
Coyote

Coyote twitches around while nervously staring at feet.....um, no. But that's something to toss around, so I'm glad you chimed in.

I'm literally "ready to go" for under $100. And I'm on unemployment for the next 6 months, longer if I supplement it with any amount of income.

I do realize that's "cheatin'", which is probably NOT good karma. Damn it Noday! J/K.

If you have any info about business licensing, bonding, insurance or taxes etc., I'm All ears.

Thanks and God bless us all,
Coyote

I wonder if there is a way to coordinate with auto parts stores like AdvanceAuto for advertising of these services.

They sell the DIY kits, so probably not, but good brainstorming!

Drawing from the collective intelligence on this board has been "enlightening"! Sorry, couldn't resist.

YES
We had our windshield replaced that way. Awesome convenience and great price!!

I must be honest - as a consumer talking...

With a windshield it's easy - it's cracked I need a new so I research...

but with something as specialized as this (as a consumer who knows nothing about it)

Why would I need this service?

If your car is 4+ years old and is not garage kept, your headlights have probably begun to degrade, affecting light out put and causing problems during night driving.

Not to mention the cosmetic effect, paint has been improved to last years and years with little or no care, but refurbished hls make a tremendous difference in the appearance of the auto.

It is really gradual and most people don't notice headlights. Take a look, if they aren't crystal clear, then eventually you will need me.

The other option is a new car, where the throw in new headlights at no extra charge! Or new headlights for $200-$400 a pair plus installation, another $50-$60.

That's my sales pitch! Ha!

Thanks and God bless us all,
Coyote
