Bus Help Needed

We need some help on the bus. Do you have experience or are you willing to learn vinyl seat repair? We have a number of seats that have splits, cracks, or tears and we need to repair these for our upcoming inspection and for the longevity of the seats. Tape repairs are not acceptable for inspection so this will require vinyl kit repairs. We also need to replace a marker light (requires a ladder and running to get the bulb). And last, we need a good cleaning (sweep it out, wipe it down inside, wash it outside).

We need your help, please contact Steve Aspery 614-205-9897 or saspery@darifill.com if you can lend a hand.
