MOM - Dent Repair - Group Buy

OK, here's the plan....
Thinking of doing a group "Dent" party at my shop in the Short North on some selected weekend, if there are enough interested members.
I plan to call John Schroeck (Dent Magic). John was recommended by Adam (I wash my car), I have his cell number but he's out of town until Monday 11/21/2011).
I'll offer up my heated shop for the work on a Saturday, if there are more than what can be accommodated, we can do the remainder on Sunday if that works out for John and everybody. If not we could do the following Saturday.
I'm thinking if we can get enough people, perhaps we can work a discount with John (or look for another company that might work a deal). I won't handle any of the money, just offer up the space. We can do a small collection and have pizza delivered if that's of interest.
A rough estimate would be 6-7 MINI's would fit in my shop at one time.

At this point, I'm looking for a count of interested people so I can begin a dialogue with the Dent people. I'll also try to find out timing so we can plan this around the up coming holidays.

Give me a count if you're interested....

OK, just met with Dent Magic.
Looks like there may be a few MOM members that would want to take advantage of a group buy.
If we get a fair interest (I thought 6-9 people might want to do this)???? They will give us the fleet price. What does that mean to you? Depends on the size of the dent and if there are more than one, are the others on the same panel, etc. As an example dime size, nickle size and quarter size and then creases are all priced differently. They will fax me a price list (retail) that I will publish.

In my case, I have 3 creases (most expensive) all on the same panel. For me retail would be $225.00, fleet would be $150.00.

They can do a Saturday, just not this Saturday because of Thanksgiving. Look at your calendars, we are targeting December the 3rd or December 10th at my shop. They think they can do something like 9-10 in one day, so it should go pretty quick. If you are interested but can't make the Saturday's listed, they will do the work at their shop in Dublin. But you need to go through Tammy in order to get our special pricing.

They also do a number of repairs on the interior and can paint fenders or bumpers (they set up a heated tent and do the work in my parking lot), pull the factory paint code off the vehicle and do the mixing from their mobile van.

Tammy (cell 614-348-5362) will meet you at your work location and give you a written estimate (retail and fleet) so you can see your savings. She will work you a deal even if the cars aren't MINI's.

At this point give Tammy a call so she can give you a price and then let me know if you are interested and which Saturday works best for you. I'll collect everyone's favorite Saturday and pick the weekend. If the Saturday I pick doesn't work out for you and you still want to take advantage of the offer, they will schedule you at their Sawmill Rd. location and do the work.

 

Well, that was only on the assumption that everyone wanted a price in order to make a decision. Tammy would like to know how many cars will be committed on the day of the work. If I'm the only one that shows up, then there is no fleet deal, which is OK with me, since I would still get it done for the $225.00. I would hate to find out that half the cars show up with people thinking they are getting the fleet deal, and Dent Magic backs out because the volume didn't turn out.

The estimate kind of protects everyone on the deal.

 

OK.... Just got the price list in from Dent Magic showing all of their services, retail pricing and our "Club" pricing.

It's hard to read on the forum posting. I'll seek Nathan's help in making it more readable.

The discount varies around 25% off. Some services are at 30% to 20% off.
