PrepExcellence training is utilized by Delta Sonic which is a 30 store car wash/detail chain (from Rochester, NY to Chicago, IL).
The PrepExcellence Philosophy is as follows:
Provide broad based training, (Knowledge) which allows the technician to diagnose potential or actual problems with the vehicle finish, trim, and interior and to further use that knowledge to identify and perform the appropriate process in order to affect a permanent cure.
The end result is lower labor and material cost and an improved final product (the vehicle) which improves customer satisfaction and profitability.
