It’s early Friday afternoon and you receive a call from Mike’s Truck – Your truck is ready! Your truck has gone from looking like one of thousands to a custom ride – Your Custom Ride!
Facelift completed
Lift Kit, Tires, Wheels, Step Bars, and Tonneau Cover have been installed. Now need to think about projection. Rocker panels need protection. 4 X 4 aggressive tires pick up lots of rocks and cause damage and dings to the rocker panels. With custom rocker panel protection this problem goes away forever. Mike’s Truck can color match your rocker panels that will blend in with the original paint color or create a contrast. Here’s a Dodge Ram truck with custom rockers installed.
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. Stop in, Mike’s Truck is the Truck Crisis Center for San Francisco, San Jose, and East Bay. Mike’s has been around for over 30 years. There is a difference with Truck Accessory Shops we hear it from our customers.
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.
