So I'm pretty new to this forum. I've spent many years in the fox body realm and have had the same 79 cobra for 11 years which i built from a bare chassis. I am a diesel mechanic by heart but recently fell into the position of running a lube and repair shop that works on cars, pickups, RVs and semis. We have a nice clean building with two full pits and two full repair stalls large enough for semis, a car lift and fabrication equipment. I was planning on buying a terminator for several years but ended up with a 2010 GT500 and I love it.
So I was thinking about maybe offering some sort of special for specialty vehicles. I know a lot of people in my area own cars that aren't your typical daily drivers. I was just curious if anyone here (assuming you had a place like this in your area) had any ideas that would make you want to do business there. What are some things that might attract you to it? I know most people prefer to maintain their own cars, but I'm sure there are some people that wouldn't mind going to a shop if they can trust them. I hear a lot of horror stories about shops and I do everything in my power to keep us off that list. So I'm just curious if anyone has some pros and cons about their favorite or worst shops to get an idea of what I can do to direct our business that way.
thanks!
Jeff
