Wastler Auto

Dave Wastler of Wastler Auto first saw an LED message center in 2010. Just a few years later he contacted his local sign company to start the process of adding one at his location.

Wastler Auto in Westminster, MD, is a locally owned auto repair shop and used car dealership that has been in business since 1999. Three divisions make up their business, including tire sales, auto repair with 5 Master ASE mechanics, and used vehicle sales. In 2007 the business expanded into its present location.

In 2010, An LED sign caught the eye of owner Dave Wastler. He noticed that the signs attracted attention and provided a platform for advertising. He began to research manufacturers on his own, and in 2011 he was ready to move forward with his purchase.

“I contacted my sign company, Affordable Signs and Neon of Frederick, MD to get serious in acquiring a sign. Charlie at Affordable Signs explained to me the things I couldn’t find out on my own. For instance, out of all the manufacturers that he sells, Watchfire have the least trouble, the best components and the best support when it comes to dealing with any issues that could arise.”

Wastler says his sign company helped him decide on Watchfire, and that his service after the sale has been as expected. And the results? Wastler agrees they have been even better than expected. “I have never made an investment in business that has had anywhere near the return on investment this Watchfire sign has produced. As far as attracting and boosting business, through the first quarter after installation, I had 42 new customers, an average ticket of $465.00 spending a total of $19,520.00. Thank you Affordable Signs and Neon and Watchfire Signs for helping me grow my business.”
