...started swimming. I haven’t used any outside money on Fast Blocks and haven’t gotten any investors, which is exactly the way I want it.”
Major’s goal with Fast Blocks isn’t just sanding blocks, but also to help decrease the effort painters and technicians have to put in to get a quality repair.
“We want techs to make more money and save their shops money," Major said. "If we can decrease the difficulty in repairing a vehicle, we can train new techs faster. In a time when body shop techs are few and far between, anything we can do to make any part of the process easier and more efficient is worth doing.”
Major’s Fast Blocks are becoming more and more popular as word gets out there. He also wants people to know his product comes with a powerful message.
“I want to be able to use Fast Blocks to reshape the overall perception about tradesmen and what we do," Major said. "In my case, painting cars was a stepping stone that led to an opportunity I wouldn’t have found otherwise. In the end, it all comes down to things like passion and dedication. I am still that high schooler who watched 'Power Block' on Spike TV, and I hope my story inspires others to do the same.”
