GT Grooming Trailer Price Change Alert!

May 11, 2010 By: admin Category: GT Stuff

Shoppers,

We’ve put this off as long as possible; we cannot hold off any longer.  GT Grooming Trailers is raising our price from $19,990 to $20,990.

Steel prices have risen tremendously over the last few months and our surcharge on steel has just gone up another 18% this week.  Even though this is a price increase, we are certain that GT Grooming Trailers produces the longest lasting, highest quality trailers in the mobile pet grooming industry.

Thank you,

Patrick

GT builds grooming trailers like no other conversion company.  When closely looked at, one can see the attention to details that GT is obsessed with.  This photograph is just one example:  Notice how all of the hardware that GT Grooming Trailers uses matches, and we even match the color of the hardware so that it looks great!  A) The white walls have white hardware.  B)  The silver metal has silver hardware.  C)  The black controls have black hardware.

Examples like this are just more reasons why GT has an exceptional reputation for building the smartest mobile dog grooming salons on the market.

How To Build a LOW QUALITY, CHEAP Grooming Trailer.

February 26, 2010 By: admin Category: Trailer Basics

GT Grooming Trailers aren’t the cheapest, they’re just the best!

While most grooming trailer conversion companies built their niche as selling the “cheapest” grooming trailers, we built our reputation by providing the best built trailers on the market.  There are some things that the cheap conversion companies practice to ensure having the lowest quality mobile salons.  Some are:

1. Don’t include needed items such as trailer brakes.

2. Include a “stainless steel” tub that LOOKS like quality, but is actually very thin, flimsy, needs calk to keep watertight, and will ultimately fail.

3. Install a cheap “apartment window” air conditioner instead of a quality unit designed for the application.

4. Use cheap cargo cam-locking doors instead of RV style doors.

5. Advertise “waterproof” vinyl floors but fail to describe how they are not waterproof where it matters; along the walls.  While GT spends about $1,000 waterproofing the floors, low quality grooming trailers have virtualy no protection over the subfloor.

6. Use an electric water heater (or no water heater) instead of a propane water heater.

7. Install a “portable” generator instead of a quality RV or commercial generator designed (and warranted) for a mobile application.

8. Use “big box hardware store” cabinetry that will brake, mildew, and rot in a mobile grooming environment.

9. Include low quality items such as small water tanks, “price point” trailer shells from corner lots, or inferior plumbing components.

10.  ”Frame” the tub and cabinets with wood or other unprotected materials.

This list was too easy, and just scrapes the surface!

Great GT Grooming Trailer Testimonial!

February 19, 2010 By: admin Category: Trailer Customers

grooming-trailer-mobile

This latest testimonial was fun to read!  It came from Emily’s Wags and Whiskers.  Purchasing an all-wether mobile pet grooming trailer was really important to her.  Clearly, she was satisfied.  This was about the 10th black trailer GT has converted for pet grooming.  I must say, with a black truck the salon looks great!

The grooming trailer is AWESOME!!!  All that we have hoped for and then some!! Can’t explain the awesomeness of the trailer. Even in the cold it is not a problem!

New $2,500 Generator Option

January 21, 2010 By: admin Category: GT Stuff, Trailer Customers

barking-beauties-grooming1One of our latest customers is from Laguna Hills, California.  Barking Beauties Grooming chose to purchase a GT Grooming Trailer with our optional “Budget Booster” generator.  To SAVE $2,500, Barking Beauties let us provide a 3,000 watt Honda portable generator mounted in the back of their truck.  We simply run a cord from the truck to the front of the trailer!  This configuration saves a lot of money for the mobile groomer, and allows for the ability to groom with EITHER generator or shor-line power (extension cord).

Of course, our typical generator option is always available for $4,950.  This option includes an Onan 3,600 watt generator (which now comes in BLACK!) that can be exposed to the elements. We weld up a cage to mount on the trailer.  We also include a 30 amp converter, an automatic switchover system, and an internal remote switch.  Just as with our Budget Booster Generator, you have the ability to use your shor-line as well.

Mobile Grooming Book: Starring… GT!

December 30, 2009 By: admin Category: GT Stuff

grooming-trailer-guideA new book is on the market.  It’s called The Mobile Pet Grooming Guide.  Some of the mobile grooming conversion companies are mentioned in the book, and GT Grooming Trailers has a photo of one of our salons right on the cover!  The book, understandably, is heavily weighted towards a good company called Wag’nTails, which is the largest and most known conversion company in the business; but a balance of other brands would have been good for the industry.  For example, one of the only pictures of a trailer interior is of a GT.  After all, Wag’nTails is like a PC, and GT Grooming Trailers is like a Mac!  But I’m happy we at least made the cover and a few pics inside.

The book has strengths and weaknesses.

STRENGTHS: Very good information for start-ups looking for advertising ideas.  The book has suggestions on how to handle the phone, route appointments, and tips for almost every aspect of the job.  There is also some good information about running a fleet of vehicles, retailing products, etc.

WEAKNESSES:  First, the author assumes that trailers are for “starters” because trailers are cheaper than vans.  After serving about one hundred customers, I can safely estimate that those who purchase trailers instead of vans are not simply starters, they are SMARTER. (more…)

GT Grooming Trailers: Better Than Ever!

December 02, 2009 By: admin Category: GT Stuff

GT Grooming Trailers is busier than ever! It’s been months since we posted an article, but we do want to say a few things:

Thanks to all of our past customers and referrals to your fellow entrepreneurs; we can’t thank you enough.  With your help, GT is is hoping to complete our 100th salon by the end of this year!

At any one moment, GT is working on a few grooming trailers and we continue to keep cranking them out for the smartest mobile groomers on the road. One way we keep improving is by getting them into your hands QUICKER.

Even though we ask for 90 days to complete your mobile grooming trailer, most builds only take 9 or 10 weeks. We’ve NEVER been late on a build and delivery is almost always available.

Have a GREAT CHRISTMAS!
