Car Dealers Rush To Get "Secret Tool" During Tough Times; FS488 Paint Meter Exposes Damage On Trade-ins, Helping Dealers Avoid Catastrophic Losses

Gulf Shores, Al (PRWEB) August 21, 2008 -- New Car Dealers, Used Car Dealers, and Auto Auctions are all feeling the slowdown in the economy. As profits become more elusive Dealers are turning to a 'secret' electronic device manufactured and distributed by a Gulf Shores, Alabama Company.

This 'secret' tool is called a paint meter or paint thickness gauge and it quickly allows a Car Dealer to see if the vehicle he is looking at has been repainted--a tell-tale sign of previous damage. " In today's economy if a Car Dealer purchases or trades for a vehicle with previous damage he doesn't know about, he can easily lose several thousands of dollars." FenderSplendor President, Allen Willey went on to say; "we take the guess work out of determining a vehicles condition and help the dealer avoid serious losses."

Willey, who was a former dealer for Toyota, Nissan, Pontiac, Chevrolet, Lotus and Rolls Royce, was attending a used car auction in Detroit, Mi 7 years ago when he first saw a Paint Meter. "It was orange, fairly large and heavy, and the user said he paid over $700 for it. I immediately saw the potential for the gauge and knew if someone could make a quality Paint Meter that was smaller, lighter and more affordable it would sell like crazy." FenderSplendor, Inc. (http://www.fendersplendor.com) was born at that time.

Used to high profit margins and antiquated distribution methods none of the big-name-manufacturers would build a gauge for Willey. After over a year of searching and a trip to Southeast Asia, Willey located a Precision Instrument Laboratory who agreed to build a Paint Meter to his specifications. It became the FS 488. Willey then established the website: http://www.wholesalepaintmeters.com and began marketing the FS 488 for about half the price of his competition. Sales 'exploded.'

Two and a half years later, over 5, 000 Car dealers use the FS 488. Asked about the future, Willey said: "We have just scratched the surface of the Automobile Business. We are also making huge inroads into the Powder Coating Industry with our FS 502 (http://www.fs502.com)." Willey expects FenderSplendor Inc to have sales in excess of $1,000,000 in 2008.
