A Day in the Life
You start the morning by reviewing your planned route to ensure on-time arrivals. With a well-stocked, organized service vehicle, you visit customers, assess each issue, and select the most efficient repair path—whether that’s a small surface touch-up on a table, a color-matched leather repair, or rebuilding a damaged corner on a case piece. You’ll complete advanced replacement-part repairs, document recurring product issues, and clearly communicate when a repair cannot be completed. Between appointments, you update notes in our in-house systems and coordinate any needed parts or tool maintenance. You may collaborate with warehouse personnel on minor touch-up techniques during inspections and occasionally work in a shop setting where a general understanding of spray booth setup and use is beneficial. Bench testing evaluations help you validate your skills regularly.
