We have noticed a new trend with our fleet customers, and they are wanting to save more money. In the last couple of decades large car and truck fleet managers have often removed and replaced normal wearable items. Today as fleet customers want to save more money, due to a take mean of the belts of upper management onto middle management, they are asking for repairs on things like mirrors, bumpers, body trim, seats and even headlights. It all started with windshield repair about 15 years ago. Rather than replacing a window or windshield you would simply replace the hole or crack with resin. This trend is increasing.

At the last mobile tech Expo in Orlando, Florida we saw at least 10 vendors for windshield repair, to vendors for plastic repair, six vendors for upholstery repair, and even a vendor who sold a acrylic headlight and lens repair in a small box kit. The cost to replace headlights for a fleet of vehicles can easily cost thousands of dollars. We have found that there is actually competition, which approaches fleet shop owners and managers asking for ways to keep their fleets headlights in shape.

It is more cost-effective for managers of large fleets to maintain their vehicles headlights, then to replace them. We have found that harm full UV rays can cause substantial damage overtime to these fleets of vehicles. We have seen this at budget, Avis, Hertz, Dollar and Enterprise Rent-A-Car. We have also seen this at Hewlett-Packard, which is the largest owner dealer of Ford Taurus in the world. Every 18 months Hewlett-Packard leases brand-new Ford Taurus
