Testimonials – We just wanted to send a note saying how satisfied we are with our franchise in Salt Lake City. As you know, we started the ball rolling in September of 1994. Starting a business was a major decision for us. I was newly married and George was just out of college with a growing family to provide for.

After returning home from our initial exploratory visit to the Dr. Vinyl Corporate Headquarters, we spent time talking with car dealers and crunching the numbers with projected sales and expenses, Everything added up. The only other variable was as to whether we could do it and we knew we could. The rest is history!

It’s been some time now since we started the business and we have no regrets. We added an additional person a few months ago and he too is experiencing the same success we did. Our projection of growth was 30% a year for the first three years, and we exceeded that by about 5% per year.

Thanks for your support. Having the whole Dr. Vinyl Corporate Team on our side is not only the key to success in this business, but is reassuring when ideas, solutions, and information are needed quickly.

Thanks again, David Anderson and George Hurst, Dr. Vinyl of Salt Lake City

I have been a Dr. Vinyl Franchise owner for one year now. I am very pleased with the results we produced in our first year. It has met all of our expectations and then some. Our second year is off to a fantastic start and we expect it to continue.

The company that I was working for was going through reorganization again. I made my mind up that if I was going to get reorganized again that I would do some of my own reorganizing. I looked at several business opportunities and found that Dr. Vinyl offered the most complete franchise package. As I researched Dr. Vinyl and talked to several franchise owners, I did not find anyone that was disappointed with their Dr. Vinyl investment.

From the day we first met with Tom Buckley and his staff, they demonstrated a willingness to help. I might add that it has not changed from the first phone call to inquire about the franchise. So it was not just another get your money and run business opportunity. The in-class training, sales, and parts support is extremely good. The people understand what you need and go out of their way to help you meet your commitments. Dr. Vinyl headquarters keeps us informed of the most recent changes in our industry. This is one area that none of the competition can match. All of the products, supplies, and advertising support are the very best.

I would highly recommend the Dr. Vinyl franchise to someone who wants to create their own business and control their future.

Sincerely, Brian Dearinger, Dr. Vinyl of SW Oklahoma City

In 1981 I was engaged in another business when a friend told me of a company called “Dr. Vinyl” out of Kansas City that repaired vinyl on car seats, furniture, etc. They had franchises available for sale. The next thought I had was “you must be kidding,” but the more I thought about it, the better it sounded. My wife and I went to Kansas City to inquire about this opportunity. The more we saw of it, the better we liked it. We decided, after much prayer, to buy a franchise. This turned out to be one of the greatest moves we have made. In sixteen years, we have three franchises with five men working for us. Dr. Vinyl has allowed us to live a lifestyle we never dreamed of. I would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a business with freedom and a great opportunity to check out Dr. Vinyl.

Gary Hazelton, Dr. Vinyl of Western Kentucky and Southeast Missouri

I am still excited and enthusiastic about being a Dr. Vinyl franchisee after thirteen years. There are many reasons for this and I want to share these with others who are considering purchasing one of our franchises. Moreover, I would like you to encourage them to contact me and ask me anything they want.

I have never found another business opportunity that offered anywhere near the combination of potential profit for such a small investment and with such a small risk. My overhead is exceedingly low. When I was just starting to build up my business, this was a lifesaver.

Our franchise gives us a great variety of products and services and types of customers to choose from. This gives me lots of freedom to run my business the way I want. Compare this to those franchises that will only let you sell one product such as hamburgers or bagels, only provide one type of service such as clean carpets, or only do vinyl repair, etc.

Another benefit of being a Dr. Vinyl franchisee is the referrals I get because of the good work done by other Dr. Vinyl franchise owners across the country. This source of business has been increasing over the years.

There are many more benefits, but the last one I am going to mention is definitely not the least. I have been in many other businesses over the years and I have learned that no lawyer can write a contract good enough to protect you from an incompetent or unethical organization. You and your staff are very good at what you do and you have high integrity and I am very appreciative of that.

Thank you for providing me with all of these benefits for all these years.

Sincerely, Ken Huehn, Dr. Vinyl of Des Moines

Until August of 1996 I was an owned employee. I had worked for top companies such as Anheuser Busch, Pepsi Cola, and Frito Lay. An average work week was 65 to 70 hours, and it was not unusual to work nights and weekends. The stress and responsibilities were endless. And, at the end of each week, someone else signed my paycheck before I did, which did not seem like the road to opportunity.

Thanks to a good friend, I am now living life as I see it. Dr. Vinyl has given me more time with my wife and children. Setting goals and reaching them is now reality.

Owning a Dr. Vinyl franchise could be one of life’s big secrets. It’s as simple as this:

-Provide Customer Service -Give the Customer a Quality Product -Be a Resourceful Person

Dr. Vinyl provides the atmosphere to use these objects, and the opportunity for anyone to have the lifestyle they desire. Thank you for the opportunity.

Sincerely, Jeff Gregory, Dr. Vinyl of Central Missouri
