Vendor Affinity Program Spotlight: Spray Booth Services and Equipment Sales

by Alana Quartuccio

It really is all in a name. Spray Booth Services and Equipment Sales is and does exactly what it says – they service spray booths and sell related equipment – but their offering goes much deeper than that. The Spray Booth Services and Equipment Sales team makes it their mission to put quality first in everything they do to serve their customers in the New England market. 

Owner and founder David Berube’s knack for fixing things paired with an introduction to the collision repair world evolved into an opportunity to launch the business, which has now been serving the New England market for more than 30 years. 

Berube had family members who owned collision repair facilities. His brother was in the business of buying facilities and upgrading them for the purpose of sale. “There was one instance where he bought a used spray booth for one of the facilities. When the spray booth needed service a few months later, he found out that the company that sold him the equipment did not perform repairs. So the next call he made was to me. I’m an industrial electrician by trade, so solving problems and figuring things out is probably in my DNA.” 

Berube’s introduction to the collision repair world took off from there. He recognized the need for spray booth service, and word travelled quickly. “In fact, I had a small electrical company at the same time, and the spray booth company just took over thanks to word of mouth.” 

The company services spray booths of all brands and sizes, but they exclusively sell Garmat USA spray booths. “We service and work on everything, but there is an advantage if you use the brand we sell because not only do we have the intellectual knowledge, we also have the factory support,” Berube explains. In addition to selling and installing, they perform upgrades for shops with energy programs and work to modify accordingly to help shops improve their productivity and cycle times.

What’s kept the business successful all these years is “hard work, details and keeping the same process going over and over again,” Berube says of his commitment to quality service. 

Berube heads the sales division, using his technical background to lend high-level support to this technician team out in the field. Because the company serves such a large area, it’s important to “do it right the first time. The end goal is for our customers to have scheduled down time for maintenance once or twice a year depending on their volume of work versus any type of emergency repair that could hurt their overall production.” 

Spray Booth Services & Equipment Sales has regularly supported AASP/MA’s events over the years. Most recently, the company came on board as a Vendor Affinity Program Silver Level Sponsor. 

“Somebody has to fight the fight, and that is what the association is doing right now,” Berube acknowledges of why it’s important to get behind the Alliance. 

He appreciates the fact that AASP/MA provides body shops the opportunity to learn from each other. “On the ground level, everybody thinks that the shop next door or down the block has things figured out that they don’t, or they think that there is something different happening down around the corner. But the truth is, the only thing that’s different around the corner is that the insurance companies know that these shops don’t communicate very well with each other, and that gives them a huge upper hand in terms of what they will pay for. So, having a collective body that not only fights for the future but keeps communication open between like-minded shops makes a huge difference for the safety of repairs and for the industry overall.”
