Here’s a another story in our Time is Money category. Had a customer come in this week looking for relief from rolling or spraying his own bed liner. Not sure which Copycat Bed Liner product the customer used but to quote Kenny – It took me all day to apply this and a week to remove it.
Roll or Spray your own bed liner.
After a short period of time the Copycat/Imposter bed liner started to breakdown. Just rubbing your hand over an area caused it to crumble. The customer asks, Is there a discount since most of the prep work is already done? Feeling Kenny’s pain – Yes we will discount our Bullet Liner bed liner. There is a version that is UV stable and carry’s a Nation Wide Warranty.
Unlike factory spray-in bed liners This allows for easy repairs on your tailgate or any problem that requires the truck bed to be removed. There is a reason the bed is attached via bolts and not simply welded. On a factory liner – these types of repairs would require cutting through the liner to reach the bolt. FYI, it will always look like a hack-job unless the entire bed is re-coated. At Mike’s we aim to exceed our customers expectations.

Next time you go online and order your truck accessories, and plan on installing them yourself. Think about this, what happens if you are sent the wrong part, parts missing or worse yet – damaged parts? Best case scenario – the time involved with the project doubles. If you have a problem, we all know the routine – box up the part, ship it back to the manufacturer – wait for the new one and re-install. That is exactly what happened with this Retrax cover install this week. 
Once the cover was completely installed the installer pulled out the cover and noticed a small dent in the middle of the cover. There is no way one could have discovered the flaw earlier. The customer was expecting their truck in 30 minutes. The customer shows up, I watch them walk around and inspect the cover, try it out a couple times and walk in the shop. Hey the Retrax looks cool and works great! All except for one thing, I told him. I have contacted the manufacturer and they are sending out a replacement. It will be here in a day I will call to setup an appt. The customer asks, “What’s wrong with it?” We walked out and I show him the dent – he was totally amazed that I labeled that a defect as well as had the replacement already on its way.
