Who are we?
U.S. Windshield Repair is a family owned business that was started in Southern California in 1990 as a full-time windshield repair service. Right away we started designing and manufacturing our own tools as we realized the tools available to the industry were just not performing. Operating our own windshield repair service provided insight that helped us design products that performed better and improve the techniques for repairing damages. We worked with chemists to develop the best resins possible providing unmatched strength and clarity and with machine shops to perfect the design and function of our tools. We worked with the lighting industry to develop and produce the best curing lamps for curing our resins, ones that are used by many of our competitors today. Operating our own windshield repair business also taught us which marketing strategies work and which don't. With the right tools and techniques to provide quality repairs and an effective marketing strategy, our customers succeed where so many others don't.
Our business model is simple, provide only the best products and services possible and back them with actual support. We don't have any salesmen on our payroll, we don't advertise in magazines, we don't exhibit at business opportunity expos. We really haven't had to sell our products, they do that themselves. When you call us, the owner of the company an experienced windshield repair technician with 30 years of experience and over 100,000 windshield repairs answers the phone. You receive help, honest answers and will never be pressured to buy something. I think you will find us a refreshing experience. So give us a test drive and let us know what you think, you are the most important part of our business.
Sincerely,
William Penrod
