Here John & Johnathan from Bergens  share a Trusted REGINA AUTO BODY Tip on Looking after your vehicle AFTER they have fixed it!

We recommend that you follow these simple precautions in the first few months of your new finish's life:

In the first 90 days...

Do not wax or polish the vehicle - this will allow the finish to dry and harden completely. (Do not use silicone containing waxes or polishes.)

In the first 30 days...

  • Do not use a commercial car wash -Stiff brushes or sponges could mar the finish and damage the surface.
  • Wash the vehicle by hand with cool water and a very mild wash solution- Be sure to use a soft cloth or sponge.
  • Wash the vehicle in the shade - never in the sun. (Never use Dish Soap)
  • Do not dry wipe the vehicle - always use clean water, Dry wiping could scratch the finish.
  • Do not park under trees which drop sap or near factories with heavy smoke fallout- Sap or industrial fallout mar or spot a freshly painted surface.
  • Do not spill gasoline, oil, antifreeze, transmission fluid or windshield solvent on the new finish-If you do...immediately rinse off with water. Do not wipe.
  •  Do not scrape ice or snow from the surface- Your snow scraper can act like a paint scraper if the finish is new. Brush off the loose material with a soft snow brush.
  • Because of the acid content in bird droppings, you should wash it off as soon as possible. It will damage the fresh paint job.

 

Bergen's GUARANTEE that you will be treated to both friendly service and quality workmanship....and after speaking to their clients we can definitely say that they do all they claim and all in a style all of their own!

Trusted Founder is interviewed by Saskatoon Star Phoenix and Global Regina as www.trustedregina.com launches to public

Websites help identify trustworthy businesses   
By Jenn Sharp, The StarPhoenix April 19, 2012    
 
Sara Wheelwright began Trusted Saskatoon less than a year ago and launched Trusted Regina on Monday. The websites are a service directory of businesses Wheelwright and her staff have fully researched. Trusted partners are held accountable for their business dealings and contribute tips and advice to the website for consumers. Along with the sites are blogs full of mystery shopping reviews conducted by the Trusted staff and a YouTube channel. Here, Wheelwright tells StarPhoenix business reporter Jenn Sharp how she's grown her business so fast and why she started it.  
 
Q: What's the concept of Trusted Saskatoon?  
A: I thought there was a gap in the market. I have an 18year background in advertising. I wanted to provide something that works for the public - an agency that finds businesses that deserve the promotion and informs the public about them in a different way. People are going online for answers now. We want to make the whole process simple. We chose the 40 most-used advertising categories. When they go to our site they have a choice of a maximum of three in each category. We try to find different personalities for mortgage specialists and real estate agents. We also demand a lot from the Trusted partners. We become a group that works for each other. If any of the partners lets us down it affects everybody. They're contracted to uphold the five Trusted guarantees. They're told that if we get a complaint and it's found they've done something with intent or lost integrity, they'll be removed immediately from the site. We don't mess around.  
 
Q: Why do you only have three per category?  
A: We're trying to make the process easy. If you have 10, how do you choose? The listings are very comprehensive. The testimonials are from surveys we do with clients. We ask for 25 clients' names and numbers from each of the businesses. We then call a portion of them and we're looking from good to great reviews. We're talking to the public and they tell us great stories about their dealings with the businesses. We use those testimonials to start off the listings - real testimonials from real people. I think we're the only place online that qualifies these testimonials because we're speaking to the people ourselves.  
 
Q: How many staff do you employ?  
A: I have four lovely ladies. Two are based in Saskatoon and two in Regina. As we expand, I'm going to be solidifying the province first of all and then going into Alberta, starting with Calgary, we'll be taking on more staff. There's a lot of work to signing up companies. We're constantly in touch with the partners and asking them for tips for the site. People do research online before they buy. It's much nicer to have people in Saskatoon or Regina giving potential customers tips before they buy. It's elevating our partners as the experts and getting them engaged with the public.  
 
Q: How did you come up with the idea?  
A: I moved here from England in 2006. When you immigrate to the middle of Canada, it's not worth the freight so I had sold everything I owned in England and came over with clothes and shoes - all the important things! I had to fill a house with everything. The excitement of shopping wore off because it's really not what it was when I was back in England and I knew the shops. It was so labour intensive. I stumbled upon some good ones but a lot of the smaller businesses don't have the budget to get your attention. I had some bad experiences. It's easy to do business when things go easy. Once things don't that's really the difference between a good and a great business. One of the things that I always speak about with the trusted partners is that nobody should be in a position of loss because they chose to deal with you. That's a foundation of Trusted Saskatoon.   
 
Q: You're expanding rapidly - how have you done this?  
A: Trusted Saskatoon launched May 30 last year. Scotia Bank is a preferred bank of immigration and they hand out flyers to immigrants that come to see them. We focus on everybody because everybody has those moments where a need arises and they don't know who to turn to. We also run ads on community radio on the weekend in every single foreign language show. On seven of the shows we have the ad voiced in the language of the show. An old marketing term is 'speak to the dog in the language of the dog.' One of the things that you miss as a new person coming to a new country is your language, your food and your music. That's a way to engage with the immigrant population who, a lot of the time, become insulated because they've been ripped off. We get a lot of people looking at auto repair and service too. A lot of our fans on Facebook are women. I think we appeal more to women because they tend to be the ones that do the calling. This started because I got ripped off when I first came here by a plumbing company. Thanks to that company that was the big kick to put this idea down on paper. I got a phone call from one of my contractors who's amazed at how many calls he gets - about one a day. He said that his business, since last year, has grown 400 per cent. He went from employing one guy to three crews. More importantly, he's making sure that he instils that integrity and honesty in the people that work for him. Those are the people that deserve this recognition.

Trusted Regina brags about ACTIVE ELECTRIC a Trusted Regina Electrician


ACTIVE ELECTRIC

We heard about Brad Ross the owner of Active Electric, through another Trusted REGINA CONTRACTORS,  who used Active Electric on a regular basis as a sub-contractor on renovations that he did....we were told that he was great to work with and he always turned up on time, left the place tidy and does a good job ...which as we all know seems to be RARE indeed in the world of most sub-trades.


ACTIVE ELECTRIC is not the biggest or the longest established Electrical operation in Regina, but Brad is honest, hard working and has good relationships with all REGINA CONTRACTORS he works with on a regular basis, and this in itself is a good indicator of a TRUSTWORTHY REGINA ELECTRICIAN!

When we spoke to his clients as part of the Trusted verification process they all told us how happy they were with him...all of the domestic and commercial clients had glowing words of praise about Brad and they were grateful that they had been recommended ACTIVE. Here is what one client had to say about Active Electric:

"My home had water damage. The contractor that was working with me recommended Active Electric. In the past I have had trouble with trades people not showing up being unreliable.Brad came out to the small town I live in, he really went the extra mile.I couldn't rely on local people but I could rely on Brad. He had to make a few trips out here and he also set up wiring for the contractors or they wouldn't have been able to use their tools.I was impressed with his communication skills as he really listened & problem solved... very proactive. He also gave me more suggestion for future wiring that will be needed in my home. Brad is very polite is obviously an honest person with integrity.I asked him if he would be my electrician like when you want to have the same dentist or hair dressers! Everything he said he would do he did, and his written quote matched the invoice." Bonnie Hedley, Regina

Brad also sees the opportunity to be Trusted will help those people who are looking for him can now find him easily on GOOGLE. He has not yet invested in a website for his business, so was aware that he might be losing referrals because potential clients were struggling to find him online..now that is not the case...now people just type ACTIVE ELECTRIC REGINA into Google and up he pops because of Trusted and our great Local Search Engine Optimization..in fact it won't be long before we are on the first page of Google searches for ' ELECTRICIAN REGINA' and he will be well positioned to get new business as well as solidify all these referrals we know will be happening for him as he does such great work! 

Check out his listing here in REGINA ELECTRICIANS on the Regina Directory of excellence...we are proud to have him on board and he sets a great standard for the others that will follow him.

If you want to be more than a NUMBER then BERGENS AUTO BODY is the shop for you....   
Sara the Trusted founder is an Immigrant from UK and still struggles with driving in the snow and ice after being in Canada 6years....this is one of the many reasons Trusted invests some of their HUGE Marketing budget in advertising to immigrants and newcomers as Trusted is a great resouce for them, and as 28,000 immigrants have arrived in Saskatchewan between 2010-2011, and that number is expected to increase as the province continues to call out for skilled workers from around the World to help sustain the growth & prospertity we are enjoying here, then that is a LARGE number of potential new clients in a ' risk of accident  group'. She knows that settling in a new city, new country is hard enough...but having emergency situations is even more stressful , and having a site like www.trustedregina.com which ONLY offers good businesses is a extremly valuable! Lets face it advertising to immigrants that can't drive in the snow is a very smart idea for Regina Auto Body shops especially!

Too many businesses these days think to be the best in your industry you have to have the fanciest & most hi-tech equipment or the biggest shop with the most money spent on advertising the coolest image ...well, we are here to tell them that they are missing the point entirely..ALL OF THAT STUFF IS JUST THE BUSINESS TALKING ABOUT THEMSELVES ..... if you don't care about your clients, or if you have no idea how to deal with people and customers in a friendly and nice manner than no amount of gadgets will be able to make up for that, SGI means we all pay the same so it's the SERVICE that makes the difference for most of us out there...BERGEN AUTO BODY know what REALLY matters to people is to be listened to, they understand that it's Nice to be Nice and they are the BEST at what they do...they form relationships and instill loyalty in their clients and in all the people that they deal with, and after over 30 years in busnesss and most of those years as a BBB rated business they have NEVER had a complaint..they have an unblemished record and an A+ rating , the Trusted team are proud to promote and endorse them on the REGINA DIRECTORY of excellence!
