Compare & Save!

David Turney - Wednesday, October 28, 2009

In our line of business, there's a lot of rational processes in making decisions. There are high costs and squeezing margins, so you need to be crystal-clear about what to invest in that'll add value to the experience and satisfaction of your customers via the service that you give them.

To do that you want choices, features and benefits. You also want to get all of the most valuable aspects in as few choices as possible, otherwise you end up spending more time thinking about what to do than actually doing it.

Although using guard and fender covers enhance your business image, also providing promotional value and additional revenue through merchandising, when used in your workshop they're an offset cost. This means that they cost you up front but over time they will save you (potentially, significantly by reducing damage liabilities).

Once you've made the right decision to use them, you need to compare.

Apart from the style, colour and branding options we offer, our guard and fender covers incorporate all of the required features that are sometimes offered as options by our competitors. That way your choices are down to the exciting stuff like choosing colours and print graphics.

So ask yourself of guard covers, are they made of tough, durable vinyl? Do they have a soft, fleece backing to protect the paintwork? Do they use sand-filled channels to hold them in place instead of magnets that attract metal fragments? Do they have a tool channel on the top of the cover? Do they have a generous overhang to cover as much of the fender on just about any car? Do they have a wheel-arch cutout so the front wheels can still turn and not rub on the cover? Are there cutouts at either end so they can butt up close to the firewall while clearing bonnet hinges, etc? Are they available in a variety of colours? Can they be custom-branded with your business name, logo or visual identity? Are they available in several styles, including single, 3-piece and 4-piece wrap around sets?

Compare our guard covers and sets to Brand X and if you can't answer yes to all of these questions, then contact us about the save part.
