| I had been looking for a part time business of my own for quite some time to help supplement our family financial situation. In the past I've been a grocery clerk, a bank teller, sold lingerie & make-up at home parties, lived in the mountains of Northern Colorado running a chainsaw all day cutting trees & loading trucks in a fuel-wood logging operation, was a kitchen/bath designer/salesman at a DIY type store, OTR truck driver for 3 years, married my dispatcher 20 years ago and for 16 years I was a stay-at-home mom with my 2 boys, until a General Contractor ripped us off on an addition to our home, forcing me to seek employment outside the home once again. It was always a joke of mine that if I ever had to get a job, before I flipped burgers at McDonald's I was going to work at Waffle House. I put in my application, got hired, went home, cried for 3 days & began my new adventure. My husband didn't think I'd last a week, then it was a month and no one could believe I made it a year & 3 months! It was the hardest job I've ever had but I am a survivor & I stuck it out. My customers were wonderful; I really miss the people and I've met & kept many friends from there, still seeing them even after I quit. One of those good customer/friends is now my mentor and #1 associate. He's retired and has been working on windshield's for over 10 years. He has taken me under his wing, made me his apprentice, teaching me everything he knows about repairing windshields & I could never thank him enough for giving me the opportunity to learn this business and when things are down, he's always up beat & positive to lift my spirits. When I was afraid to walk into a business & talk to a shop foreman, he went with me to help build my confidence. His favorite saying? "I've been kicked out of better places!" How did I come up with the name A+++? I thought long and hard about my business name and one day I was on e-Bay reading feedback from a seller I was checking out. He had over 500 positive feedbacks and every single one of them were A+++ ... Superb, excellent service, would highly recommend, would definitely do business with them again & again... A+++ means that you're GOOD! So, that's what I strive to be: A+++! One of the reasons I feel like I'm a better choice over my competitors is that I'm extremely conscientious of my work. A typical repair should only take about 20 minutes but I have spent over an hour on a single chip, occasionally even longer, because I want to make sure that every repair that I do is the absolute best that I can make it. ""Good Enough" is not in my vocabulary; "As Best as It Can Be", is! So, when looking for someone to repair a chip in your windshield, please consider me. Remember, more expensive isn't always better and cheapest doesn't always mean you get what you pay for! I have been ripped off & it isn't fun.... I don't have it in me to do it to someone else. My motto: "Quality Isn't Expensive.... It's Priceless!" Thanks For Reading! Gwen Berry |
