January 14, 2008 // Franchising.com // TABERNASH, Colo.– The Glass Doctor® of the Colorado Rockies franchise, owned by Dan Osborne and Sam Shalhoub is now ready to "fix your panes."

Previously known as All Cracked Up / Vision Companies, Glass Doctor of the Colorado Rockies offers automotive, residential and commercial glass repair and replacement services to Grand County and the surrounding area. Glass Doctor of the Colorado Rockies plans to gradually expand service by opening additional locations in four neighboring counties beginning in 2008.

Located at 57 County Road 820 in Tabernash, the Glass Doctor of the Colorado Rockies shop is open 8 a.m. – 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 8 a.m. – noon Saturday.

Osborne and Shalhoub also own and operate Hole in the Wall at the same location, which specializes in the retrofit of doors and windows in residential and commercial applications as well as in new construction projects.

"We're excited to be a part of the Glass Doctor franchise system — a company that is focused on customer satisfaction and makes it the top priority," Shalhoub said. "We looked at their system and how professionally it is run, and we know it will enhance our business."

The six glass service technicians at Glass Doctor of the Colorado Rockies are certified by the National Glass Association. They are experts in all kinds of glass repairs, from windshields and sunroofs to insulated glass windows and shower enclosures.

Glass Doctor of the Colorado Rockies is compliant with the standards of the Auto Glass Replacement Safety Standards (AGRSS) Council, Inc., and is listed on the official consumer Web site, www.safewindshields.com.
