Recently, an employee of The Eavestrough Company drove our old 2003 Chevrolet Astro van to a job to clean out the eavestroughs of a condo corporation. A comment was made, "I thought you would come in a nicer vehicle than that."
Well...we admit, the vehicle is looking tired and getting pretty rusty. However, there are a few reasons we keep it.
First, it was the first vehicle ever purchased by The Eavestrough Company. To be honest, I love this vehicle. It's been around the block and back with us and never let us down. To get rid of it seems like getting rid of an old friend!
Second, the vehicle can haul a lot of stuff! From gutter coils to ladders, and, as you can see in the picture below, it can haul a 40' length of 6" eavestrough to a job site when the 6" machine is tied up somewhere else!
Thirdly, I try to repair my vehicles to keep overhead for our company low. This way, I can pass savings on to my customers.
Fourthly, we know there will come a day when we have to say goodbye to this vehicle and we will do so when we have a major repair that is not worth the cost of fixing it. In the meantime, this little gem keeps chugging along as faithful as can be.
