He Earns $500 a Day and Is Done by Lunch

  • justlost92

  • Windshield Repair Tech
  • $500 per day

πŸ“ A Redditor near Knoxville, Tennessee fixes rock chips in windshields for car dealers, trucking companies and county fleets.

He says he’s been at it for 10 years…

I normally make no less than $500 per day and I work 5 days per week but I only work on average 3 hours per day.

πŸ‘€ The numbers, from an earlier post…

I say $60 per chip. If they try to haggle me on pricing I don’t budge…

Costs less than a dollar per repair and you can do 5 repairs in 30 minutes.

His kit cost about $1,500, roughly what he made in his first week 🀯

He found customers by walking into every dealership, rental company and truck fleet within an hour of home.

Each yes became a weekly or every-other-week visit, so the same lots keep paying him.

Another windshield tech we featured went the other way, with ads and insurance claims, and also hit $500 a day.

Practise on a junkyard windshield, then walk into every used car lot near you and ask who fixes their chips πŸ‘
