Dayton is/was an industrial with tons of places you could use

Obviously you're in KY, but the farther north you find a location the better!!

I've been thinking that somewhere off of the south side of the 275 loop would be ideal. The location will put me central of any other awd dyno shop making the potential to drive 2-3 hours less desirable for anyone in the area.

I've also been looking at web domains too. My plan is to build the domain while I am deployed. (I foresee a lot of downtime at night. Not much to do in the middle of the desert.

My "job" will be running my business. My partner is going to be the mechanic for the most part.

You know....building web sites is pretty easy. This shouldn't take me long at all.

All I can say is dont run a shady operation like most of the shops here in Cincy, and don't rig ****, and you will have a successful shop.

for instance: TiC, Clint and Tony care about what you have to say as a customer, unlike the shops in fairfield (tpr, zerolift). I walk in there and they make me feel unwanted and uneducated; not cool.

You need not worry.....When things finally get rolling you will feel very welcome. The plan is to have a customer support area that will allow for you to watch work/tuning being done on your car.

I may even host install days to help people learn to work on their own cars.

My partner is in very good with the guys at TiC. We plan on working together on some projects hopefully. They do suspensions...we do the tune...get it?

As for quality....take a look at the pictures of my car. It is all about clean and tidy. Nothing is ever rigged to work. I am far to **** for that.

I never return to shops that treat me like this. You [a shop] know more than me... thats why I'm not doing this myself... but I'm still going to try to explain what i think it is/what happened/etc. I also like when people try to explain what happened/being fixed.

This is why I will be visiting Paul immediately upon opening.

Mark,

The 60k service isn't that complicated at all. The parts will run you about 300 ish. What kills you is labor. This is about a 6-8 hour job depending on the shop/technition that is doing it. At 110+ an hour, it adds up quick.

Get the parts....I will help you do it yourself (since my shop isn't going to be open for at least another year) Damn military deployments.

I kind of wanted the paper trail to go with it. A dyno tune is also included in those prices.
