JD Goad has performed collision work for 23 years, officially. But he grew up in his father’s shop, learning the business with hands-on experience from sweeping floors, to buffing, body work, frame work and painting. Now the VP at Goad’s Body Shop, he is I-CAR Platinum Certified, MACS Certified and an ASE Master Technician as well as an I-CAR Instructor. His shop is an I-CAR Gold Class facility and GM, Nissan, Hyundai and Chrysler/Fiat certified.
Key Takeaways:
- JD Goad has performed collision work for 23 years, officially. But he grew up in his father’s shop, learning the business with hands-on experience from sweeping floors, to buffing, body work, frame work and painting.
- Goad calls this the perfect tool for removing glass – encapsulated glass, glass with underside moldings or glass that is just difficult to get other tools to.
- Rather than drilling out welds, cutting out laser welds, grinding to bare metal for welding or scraping out seam sealer, Goad will use the File Belt Sander.
