Press Release Summary: ST. GEORGE, Utah (Oct. 18, 2008) - Kent Gines, a glass
service technician for Glass Doctor of St. George, competed in the American Master
Installer Auto Glass Championship held Oct. 6-7 in Las Vegas, Nev., in conjunction
with the GlassBuild America trade show.

Press Release Body: Gines represented glass service technicians at the more than 375
Glass Doctor locations nationwide.

"This is a great honor for Kent not only to be qualified for the competition, but to
perform so well," said Dale Watkins, owner of Glass Doctor of St. George. "We are
proud Kent is part of our outstanding team."

Sponsored by the National Glass Association (NGA), the Master Installer Championship
is a biennial invitation-only competition. The best auto glass technicians in the
country are judged on their knowledge of repair and replacement standards and the
quality of their work in a timed environment. Points are awarded for customer
service interaction, safety, correct procedures and care of the customer's vehicle.

A 15-year veteran of the glass services industry, Gines is the only fully certified
NGA glass technician in St. George. He also follows all standards by the Auto Glass
Replacement Safety Standards (AGRSS) Council and the Repair of Laminated Automotive
Glass Standard (ROLAGS) for replacement and repair of windshields. Gines is
certified in Dow and Sika adhesive use as well. These standards and certifications
assure customers their windshield repairs and replacements are completed according
to the best practices in the industry.

"Kent is a consummate professional, and he's a positive influence on everyone he
meets," Watkins said. "He took his son, Kolbey, to the competition with him because
Kolbey is really interested in his dad's trade and wants to be just like Kent. All
through the competition Kolbey was his cheerleader. These days that's great to see,
it's what we're all about at Glass Doctor."
