The Huron Expositor, 1982-09-01, Page 6DQblfirh awd @Qcvo Business booms in Dublin Warren Bennewies is a young Dublin man who knows exactly where he's going. And he's confident enough it's the right direction that in July he quit his permanent job at Standard Products in Mitchell to work full time on his own business. That business which grew gradually from a hobby over the past four years is oil • spraying of vehicles..,everything from personal cars to fleets of trucks, vans and huge truck cabs. He operated out of the garage next to the home he and wife Heather, daughter Kelly, 4, and son Kyle, lu months, share in Dublin. • Then last February he had a specially designed tandem trailer built that he hauls behind his pick-up truck and which gives him lots of flexibility. Warren hauls the trailer to a farm, say, or to a city where he'S lined up a day's business. Then he drives the vehicles to be sprayed up the trailer ramp, hooks up the gas driven air compressor that operates the sprayer and he's in business. The 25 -year-old man has an ar- rangement with two Seaforth business- men, Dave Schenck and Fred Schuch, to use their lots for his mobile spraying business. "If someone lives in an apartment building• or has a paved driveway, they don't want their vehicles sprayed right at home," he explains,. Warren grew up in Mitchell and started oil spraying vehicles "more or less as a hubby. I did it for friends. "relatives and neighbours and word got around. • "1 do every vehicle as if it were my own, alwayshave," he says. Dublin Mobile Oil' Spraying has done more than 1,000 vehicles. People who grew up in the Dublin. Seaforth, Mitchell area come from far away to have their cars sprayed by Warren. Business continues to increase steadily. Last winter when Standard Products was on a four day week,, Warren "went out Fridays and lined up business." Future business includes 100 cars to be sprayed for Purolator Couriers. A booming business means being callable seven days a week. "I do • siness (vehicles) on Sundays," Warren explains. He'll also give an estimate over the phone and says the average oil spraying job takes an hour to an hour and a half. "A word of caution ...no matter where you get yourcarsprayed, a 20 minute job is not enough." Oil spraying (with new oil, few sprayers do their work with used oil any more) prevents rust because it seals the car so that moisture can't get in, he says. Even rustproofers, like Ziebart, recommend annual oil spraying, after a car is rustproofed, according to Warren. Body shops too are recommending the process, which is becoming more popular as the cost-conscious keep their cars longer and take better care of them. "It works," Warren insists," but you must do it every . year from the time a car is new till it's five years old, then twice a year." A treatment for a car costs about $30 and it should be done now on an olden car before winter with its heavily salted roads and then again in the spring. "Il slows down rust" says the owner of the area's only mobile oil spraying business. "and it eliminates rust that hasn't started yet." Warren Bennewies, who quit school at age 16 after a year in Mitchell and a year -at Northwestern high schools, says his automotive background (jobs with Kelly's • Garage in Mitchell and Schneider's Auto Wrecking in Rostock) taught, him the rusting out problems in each type of car. "GMs rust in certain places, Fords rust in certain places...you get an idea of where they are going to go, and where they're not." - He has one part time employee, brother-in-law Rob Brown, now, and would like to have enough business next year Rob Brown oil sprays a Sills Hardware; vehicle that he can •concentrate on managing Dublin Mobile Oil Spraying rather than doing the spray work himself. He's keen andit's likely he'll reach his goal. "There are people within ten miles of here that 1 haven't had time to go see yet," he sums up. Walton tourney draws crowd Correspondent MRS.
