How To Profitably Make Cosmetic and Semi-Structural Plastic Repairs In Less Time With Fewer Products

Sponsored By U-POL

Date: January 27, 2022

With over 50% of average repair orders less than a few thousand dollars, earning the most profit while delivering an outstanding repair can be challenging, particularly as it relates to plastic parts. Bumper repairs can be a profitable addition to a shop’s business instead of swapping out plastic parts out for new. This is especially true when you can make plastic repairs as quickly and easily as applying conventional body filler.

In this 45-minute training webinar you will learn how you can skip the gun, two-part cartridge products, and static mixers, and efficiently make plastic repairs in less than 30 minutes. Join us to learn about a plastic repair process that can help you reduce complexity, increase efficiency, and deliver more profits. Our presenters will show you a high performing, simplistic approach to cosmetic and semi-structural repairs.

Key Objectives:

  • Learn the advantages of following the U-POL standard operating procedures for plastic repairs, including:
    • Product complexity reduction
    • Process simplification
    • Compatibility with other shop processes
    • Cycle time reduction and increased throughput
