Some Words About Dennis

Dennis Stachowski bought his Color Glo Franchise in 2002 in our headquarters market of Minneapolis/St. Paul. Denni’s Color Glo franchise is called Color Glo Northwest. Dennis services automotive, furniture, marine, and commercial restoration in Anoka, Maple Grove, Plymouth, Medicine Lake, Brooklyn Park, Brooklyn Center, Golden Valley, Robbinsdale, Coon Rapids, Fridley Crystal, New Hope, Moundsview, New Brighton, St. Anthony, Columbia Heights and Hilltop, all in the Northern Metro area of the Twin Cities

Leather and vinyl restoration was already interesting to him. He was introduced to Color Glo, and after carefully researching the business, he was sold.

Dennis quickly built a clientele that has provided a steady stream of income for 20-plus years. Over that time, he has become an expert at his craft. He makes sure to credit his success with continuing education provided by Color Glo. There are forums for franchisees to share ideas and techniques, as well as seminars. Learning how others approach repairs adds tools to your box. “That’s why there is more than one kind of screwdriver” according to Dennis.

Dennis’s projects

Dennis enjoys doing some unusual projects. He has restored a Kemar head, a simulator designed for acoustic research.

Dennis also works incredible magic on cracked, faded and otherwise abused automobile dashboards, seats, steering wheels and other interior areas of cars.

Dennis’s Advice?

Dennis believes in teamwork and training to keep quality and customer service consistent locally and globally.

Color Glo International has franchise locations in 52 countries. Literally around the world!

Dennis offers this advice, “Always do your best. Do not sell yourself short. If you are not sure how to approach a repair, give yourself some time to think about it. Then work it through. Do not say you can do it and don’t promise perfection”. I’m sure Dennis’s clients will tell you, he may not promise perfection, but he always delivers the best possible craftsmanship.
