August 27, 2010 By: admin Category: GT Stuff

Here’s a sneak peek of one of the details that will be revealed in the new GT Grooming Salons website!  We will be offering th best warranty in the mobile pet conversion business.

We have been offering sales for a couple of weeks now and will be offering it for all new sales as well.

There is a reason why nobody other than GT offers this kind of warranty.  Need we say more?

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

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…)

Do Dogs go to Heaven?

December 17, 2009 By: admin Category: GT Stuff

grooming trailer petSome of my customers know that my background is in the theo-geek world.  My degrees are from both Protestant and Catholic schools.  I’ve taught classes for churches, high schools, and colleges; written thousands of pages synthesizing history, philosophy, and theology.  So how does that kind of a background help me with my GT  Grooming Trailers business?  Well, maybe it is to help dog lovers cope with the loss of their friend.

A couple of nights ago, I had to euthanize my boxer, Gruffie.  Doing so sort of forced me to dig out my old theologian cap and review minds greater than my own.  I initially found little comfort.  However, my sifting of 2,000 years of thought revealed sufficient room to hope that God could be planning a surprise for us!

Mobile Groomers Need to Look Sharp!

The Shear Sharpener rocks!

GT Grooming Trailers spent the afternoon with Colorado’s best shear sharpener.  Unlike a lot of mobile sharpeners who simply grind your shears on a rock, Laurie showed us just how important proper technique is.  She adjusts the bumpers, straightens the blades, rounds the blades, etc.  Basically, she can do just about anything!  She’d even be interested in working for other mobile groomers if you’d like to send her shears for sharpening.  Her phone number is 303-564-5266.

Laurie was especially impressed with how we build our grooming trailers because our trailer floors are actually covered with a quarter inch of padded rubber.  Laurie knows very well how a dropped pair of shears can be bent or chipped when they smack against a hard floor, so seeing our pet grooming trailer floor was a real delight for her.  It is nice to be recognized for quality by professionals like Laurie the Shear Sharpener!  We’ll keep you posted when her website is completed!

Grooming Trailers Customer Service

June 13, 2009 By: admin Category: GT Stuff, Trailer Customers

We at GT Grooming Trailers pride ourselves on how we treat our customers AFTER the sale as well.  Purchasing a grooming trailer has long-term consequences for the groomer, so making sure to purchase from a reputable company is important.  We just received this email:

“ It’s no wonder you guys do well with your business. Your service after the sale is top notch. THANKS for everything!” Ray

We try to keep in touch with our customers as much as possible.  We’ve even gone on “customer service tours” making sure to stop at as many former customers as we can offering inspections, tips, and touch-ups.  Our construction uses only the best equipment, our craftsmanship is unmatched, and our commitment to making our customers (past and present) happy is our primary goal.  Please, browse some of our testimonials, give us a call, or make an appointment for a showing!

Shampoo Storage For Grooming Trailers

June 06, 2009 By: admin Category: Grooming Ergonomics

pet-grooming-trailers

ONLY GT Grooming Trailers has so much storage for your shampoos!  Almost every other grooming trailer company has nearly ZERO space for your soaps, but GT has a shelf perfectly designed to hold over eight gallons of your favorite shampoos.  

The other companies may have a little “ledge” or “caddy” for you to fit a couple tiny bottle of soap, but nobody has as much room as GT.  Our shampoo storage shelf can be customized in a number of ways for you if you desire, is in the PERFECT place for easy access, and is integrated into the bathing center.  

With GT, you don’t need to “open a cabinet” to find your shampoos, you simply lift your hand up and apply the needed soap.  EVERYTHING IS EASY with GT!

No More Guessing

June 05, 2009 By: admin Category: GT Stuff, Grooming Ergonomics, Grooming equipment

pet-wash-trailer-waterWith GT Grooming Trailers, there is no more guessing how much water is left in your 55 gallon fresh water tank.  Even though our enormous tanks can last a typical day, it is nice to be able to SEE how much water is remaining.  All GT grooming trailers are built with a “window” below the bathtub showing precisely how much water is remaining.

Building smart is our niche.  Our tanks are custom built for GT so we can have some of the largest water tanks in the industry.  By using custom tanks, we are able to install our mechanical items in a more efficient manner than the competition–allowing us to provide MORE working space in a smaller overall trailer.

EVERYTHING is thought out.  Instead of using big-box hardware store tubs, we fabricate our own bathing center. The bathing center doesn’t “sit on legs” like the competition because our trailer shells are built EXCLUSIVELY FOR GT and are framed precisely for our bathing center to be bolted into the grooming trailer’s framing.  Again, this allows GT to use the area under the tub more efficiently which provides a much larger work area.
