Greetings!

We're starting to roll out video content on the website. Our first was a conversation with Global Finishing Solutions. (You can see it here.)

I hope you take a look and enjoy it. But I'm also looking for feedback to see how we should move forward.
  • Do you like the video player?
  • Were there any technical problems playing it? (If so, does a site like YouTube work on your computer?)
  • Would you be interested in receiving updates when we post new videos?
And finally, do you have a story that you think would be good for a video? Have you or your company done or created something completely unique lately?

Have you told a story that starts with "you have to see it to believe it"? If you have, drop me a line and we can see about getting the Collision Repair film crew on scene.

See you next week. Take care,

-Joe Rayment

The folks at Summerhill were out spreading the word at the New Bloor Festival over the weekend. Boston Auto Wreckers donated a car for the event for members of the community to paint their messages on it--taking in some of Retire Your Ride's message in the process.
