Why Wholesale Is King Monetary benefits - With multiple accounts, wholesale can lead to a day to day steady flow of income Conveience Aspect - When dealing with multiple wholesale accounts, there is little time for other avenues. It allows for a technician or a company to deliver the most value possible to there dealerships that they service. There is a cadence that will naturally progress and accounts can easily be serviced 1 -2 times a week. Sometimes 5 days a week of the volume allows Time - Wholesale allows for flexibility within a technicians schedule, where as long as they are there on the day they say they will be, everything will most likely run smooth Growth Potential - If servicing many wholesale accounts, it allows for a larger volume of work to flow through the company which will naturally bring more money in. This steady flow of income from multiple dealerships will allow a company to gain revenue sometimes quicker than strictly a retail setting. Stability - It possibly easier to grab 1-2 cars from a wholesaler than to close 1 -2 retail sales

And with all the competition out there, many cargo van makers are taking fuel efficiency very seriously, with some vans ranging 22 miles a gallon. Reliability. There are so many well known brands available that you always know that when choosing a van, you are getting the most advanced van with all the standards. Branding. You can easily have mobile billboard for your business! Choose a simple design but make sure the logo is easily seen. Customization. Either the interior or exterior can be customized. You can transform the van to be as comfortable and practical as you need. Space. A full-size cargo van is spacious and on average has 120-200 cubic feet of space. Comfort. Most commercial vehicles are uncomfortable but a full-size cargo van does carry the comfort level of an SUV or minivan. And also has the storage and hauling potential of that of a commercial vehicle.

CLICK HERE FOR THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER WEBISTE PODCAST-In this episode we cover everything you need to know about motorcycle paintless dent removal (MPDR).  I had the pleasure of interviewing Daniel Gromm of Dent Dynamics Paintless Dent Removal out of Santa Rosa, California.  His direct website is www.dentdynamics.net, so make sure and check it out.  The website has a great photo gallery and videos of what type of quality work he does.  Also check out Daniel's other website at  www.motorcyclepaintlessdentrepair.com. Daniel Gromm does paintless dent removal for both motorcycles and cars and has been doing so since 1993, so it is fair to say he knows exactly what he is doing. Daniel is a paintless dent removal (PDR) expert and also an inventor and mechanical designer. Daniel has designed his own exclusive line of PDR Tools called the "Daniel Gromm Signature Series". Daniel has come to understand what is needed to access the trickiest and least accessible dents from a motorcycle gas tank and has developed a complete set of tools that feature removable tips that adapt to each dent along with adjustable handles that make the PDR job easier. Utilizing the latest technology and tools, the skilled metal "artisans" at Dent Dynamics in Santa Rosa, CA can quickly remove many dents without repainting, all at a fraction of the cost of traditional body repair. PDR is becoming more widely used, largely because the size of dent that can be repaired has increased over the last few years. Daniel Gromm explains, "We have developed specific techniques and equipment to repair a dent the size of a football , and just a few years ago we were only repairing dents the size of a baseball." The widespread use of resilient metal and base/clear coat paint finishes has allowed PDR to become a viable alternative to traditional body repair techniques. So much so, that some insurance companies will even waive the deductible if PDR is chosen over more traditional techniques. As I have stated in the past, Harley Davidson and other motorcycle manufacturers do not do body work if you dent a tin, such as a gas tank or fender.  They won't even release the paint codes that are necessary for matching.  Nope, you must purchase the whole new tin from the factory and then do whatever you want with the damaged one.  Oh, did  I mention you also have to pay your insurance deductible, because tins are not cheap? PDR is truly a great alternative and can save you some serious money.  Do you have a custom paint job on your motorcycle?  Well, good luck matching everything up, not to mention the body filler that will be used to fix the dent.  Not so with paintless dent removal. You can send your tin to Daniel Gromm at Dent Dynamics and he will have it back to you in a short time, completely fixed without body fillers and without having to paint it.  He can also do other work for you if you are going to end up painting something, but can make many repairs without body filler.   Here are the five easy steps if you get a dent or ding in your motorcycle gas tank or fender: (This can all be found on the Dent Dynamics website of course) Fill out a dent inquiry form and submit for an estimate (form is on website) Email very detailed photos at different angles and provide a phone number They will approve the job based on the photos that they receive and a possible phone conversation will follow Mail your tank or fender to them (He says he has had good luck with UPS)....Make sure you air out your gas tank fumes a bit before shipping) They will repair the tank or fender and send it back to you fully insured, in the original package it was shipped in. And you know your dealing with a professional when this is stated on the Dent Dynamics website "If for any reason you are not completely satisfied with the results of your repair, we will not charge you for our services." After 2 years of development, Daniel has created a specialized motorcycle tank vice to better serve his motorcycle PDR customers and their needs. Understanding the dynamics of the proper leverage and pressure applications necessary for the thicker metals of most motorcycle gas tanks and fenders, Daniel set out to invent the world's first Motorcycle PDR Tank Vice to handle the growing needs of the motorcycling community. "Today," says Daniel, "Dent Dynamics receives gas tanks in need of dent repair from all over the United States. It's incredibly satisfying to be able to fix something that, prior to my MPDR Tank Vice invention, was un-fixable." So, what are you waiting for? Fill out an inquiry form on the Dent Dynamics website, send him an email, and get your fender or gas tank fixed now.

I got a 7″ Dakota-Shield love it! But it seems to not want to form to my outer faring and it is causing a gap between the faring and windshield. To me it looks like water could get into my electrical I got a 2500 mile ride coming up and not wanting to worry about that 2013 SG. Any advice would be great! Thanks!"   My response to John: "Thanks for commenting John! Sorry, but FaceBook email is the last one to get checked. Comments here (on the blog page) and direct emails via our contact form get checked first http://www.lawabidingbiker.com/contact. Anyways, on the Dakota-Shield; You don’t have to worry about the gap. Many aftermarket and even some Harley windshields create a gap. Even without a visible gap, water can get down inside the fairing, which it does every time you wash it or ride in the rain. Those components, including electrical, inside the fairing are made to withstand moisture, cold, hot etc. Harley knows water and much moisture will get in there makes them to withstand those things, so no worries bro. Same thing under the seat and your fuse box. All made to withstand water. I spray the crap out of my bike with a pressure washer and water definitely gets into everything. Ride Safe and have a blast on your ride!!"   As always, keep the rubber side down and the shiny side up!   _____________________________________________________   CHECK US OUT AND SUBSCRIBE:   Website: http://www.LawAbidingBiker.com   Email & Voicemail: http://www.LawAbidingBiker.com/Contact Phone Hotline: 509-731-3548   Twitter: https://twitter.com/LawAbidingBiker Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lawabidingbiker        YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/scrappy587     Google Plus Community: https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/114981304552960461449    Instagram: http://instagram.com/lawabidingbiker   RSS: feed://www.LawAbidingBiker.com/feed iTunes Direct Link to Podcast:  https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/law-abiding-biker-podcast/id622424087    Stitcher Radio: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/law-abiding-biker-podcast TuneIn Radio: http://tunein.com/radio/Law-Abiding-Biker-p562288/
