Crash Reconstruction: A Critical Field Service for Truth and Safety
Crash reconstruction may not be the first service people think about, but it plays an important role in safety, accountability, and helping people move forward after serious vehicle incidents. At Crodymi LLC, I provide mobile crash investigation support, vehicle black box/EDR data retrieval, diagnostics, and forensic analysis to help determine what happened in a collision. That work can help attorneys, insurers, businesses, and individuals make informed decisions based on evidence rather than guesswork. What I value most about this field is that it combines hands-on technical work, problem-solving, and service. Sometimes that means traveling to inspect a vehicle, preserving critical data, documenting evidence, or helping explain complex findings in a way clients can understand. In many cases, accurate reconstruction can make a real difference in resolving disputes, improving safety awareness, and supporting fair outcomes. I would love to connect with other Jobber community members who provide field-based or technical services. What are some of the biggest challenges you face in building trust with clients when your work is highly specialized?How can I re-build my business from ground zero?
Hi my name is Jeremy Lesser, I am the Business Owner/CEO of a small residential painting and home improvements business. I have been in business since 2022. After about a year or so of being in business, I about called it quits and started doing Maintenance Engineering. Well having my own business doing what I love to do the most which is drywall and painting, has been a dream of mine since I first started doing drywall and painting 15+ years ago. I want my business to succeed. I have a perpetual LLC. for my business, so I would like to build my business back and Lord willing watch it grow this time. I have more patience and knowledge in it. How can I build my business with zero income and zero revenue? I have been applying for grants. Please help! Thank you and God Bless. ~Jeremy Lesser~
Google Reviews Not Syncing to Website
Hi. I've set up my website using Jobber's website builder and connected it to my Google Business Profile to display customer reviews as testimonials. The issue: When I first published the site, it pulled in my Google reviews perfectly. However, as new reviews come in on my Google profile, they're not syncing to the website - it's still showing the same number of reviews from when I initially connected it. My questions: Is this a known limitation, or should the reviews sync automatically? If they don't auto-sync, is there a manual refresh button or process I'm missing? Has anyone else experienced this, and if so, how did you resolve it?You Get One Billboard.....
If you had one billboard for your business, just a few words seen by thousands of people every day, what would it say? The one message that really explains what you do best and why a customer should choose you over anyone else. Think about what makes your business different, what your best customers appreciate most, or what you wish people understood right away when they hear your name. Looking forward to seeing everyone’s answer!
