Master Inflatable Repairs — Keep More Profit In-House

As a director overseeing multiple trampoline parks and toddler play facilities, I manage a range of equipment—including large inflatables and airbags—that require consistent maintenance, from minor fixes to occasional major repairs. Historically, we relied on Cold Air Repair, and the work was exceptional for these services, but we incurred costs due to operational downtime. Closing half of a facility for scheduling not only disrupts business but also impacts revenue. Recognizing the inefficiencies of this approach, we invested in on-site sewing and inflatable repair training. A few team members and I participated in hands-on instruction conducted at our facility, focusing on real-world repair scenarios. The training was both comprehensive and practical, equipping us with the skills to address issues as they arise.

This strategic investment has yielded substantial returns. We’ve dramatically reduced repair-related expenses and eliminated the need for external scheduling. In fact, the cost savings have exceeded the initial training investment tenfold over the past year.

I researched a few options for a bounce house repair class before settling on the one provided my Mike. I didn’t get the pushy salesman vibe from him, it seemed he cared more about the class and sharing the knowledge than selling me something. It is a big step to make the travel and cover the costs of the class. Once I took the leap and booked the class, I was feeling pretty nervous about the pros and cons and giving all this money to a stranger who may or may not be able to teach me. Within minutes of arriving to Mike’s place I had known the right decision had been made. He was thorough, patient, and extremely knowledgeable! I had hands on experience with every aspect of repair I could think of. Not once did I feel like I overpaid or I wasn’t getting my moneys worth. 11/10 would recommend Mike Mingle for his repair class, or just to fix some damaged bounce houses you may have laying around.

Mike Mingle has been repairing our inflatables since 2004, coming to our warehouse at least twice a year to keep things running. I knew learning to do our own repairs would save us downtime and money, so Tyler and I took Mike’s training. It was a great decision. His hands-on style made even tricky repairs easy to understand. Now we handle nearly everything in-house, and we only call Mike when something really unusual comes up. Tyler has stepped up to lead repairs and is doing a fantastic job keeping our equipment in top condition.

Before Mike’s class, we relied on him to visit our warehouse twice a year for repairs, and I’d mostly just watch. Attending his training with Steve changed everything for me. Mike broke down each repair step clearly and let us work hands-on until we felt confident. Now I handle nearly all of our repairs myself and only call Mike when something unusual or extra challenging comes up. His training gave me the skills to save our team time and money while keeping our equipment ready to go.
