Training Center
The 1,200 square foot training center is a first in the industry. Trainees (up to 12) have the opportunity to learn all facets of the repair process. The ROLAGS, BSI, and NZ/AU standards have been used as a blueprint for classroom content. After completing class work, techs work on small samples then graduate to performing the repair process on real life examples. Two vehicles and six work stations are primary components of the training center. When the technicians graduate training, they have will completed over 100 repairs, most on glass installed in vehicles.
The training center also includes the SilverDome inspection center, a 10ft. by 12ft. dome located outside the training center, consumers pull into the SilverDome for glass and lighting inspection. Trainees will get the opportunity to work with real consumers and glass damage.
