We have had ads in the 2 yellow pages in Milwaukee, WI, along with referrals
from the company names we do warranty work for. I put a web site up and listed
all brands we are warranty for along with any brand we are not warranty for
but will service. When you yahoo "goldstar tv service milwaukee" we normally
come up #1 or #2. We get a lot of action off the web as we service old radios
and turntables also.
My son and I then started a web hosting/design company ( nothing fancy but
functional)(BondedHost.com) and have built sites for other service centers and
businesses. If anyone needs a site or hosting email me privately and we can
talk
