3M Means Lasting Quality

Workdays Involve 3M Products
3M products are an ongoing part of our shop’s workflow and projects. Day-to-day work involves a variety of 3M products at my shop. For quality automotive repairs, precision rebuilding, paint-and-finish needs and welding/fabrication work, 3M provides reliable “soft tools” for these tasks.







The incentive for this unusual repair? The obsolete motor has no replacement. AMP Research’s solution is a new link arm with the updated motor. Retail price: $360 plus freight (per running board motor; $720 for two arms and motors)…Repair or DIY solution: $9 plus freight for two carbon brushes, a small piece of Scotch-Brite, a few beads of 3M High Temp Black Silicone Gasket sealant, and an hour of my time. It took longer to find the carbon brushes than to fix the motor.

For quality work that you can trust, even under the harshest driving conditions, 3M is the brand…After fifty-two years of professional automotive work, 3M stands out as my benchmark for quality products.
