Self Identified Competition
I don’t have any other competitors for Ceramic Pro as I am an Elite Dealer we get our own territory which includes multiple counties in my surrounding area. We also offer lifetime warranty for certain services. There is 2 other shops who offer the same services but they do not offer the same quality material, service, or provide any kind of warranty.. What makes me different is the fact we have certifications under our belt, Ceramic Pro advertises/markets for us, my work ethic as I’ve been working since I was 16, and experience as I have been in the automotive service field for 3 years.
