all you guys are is a bunch of kids, for the most, part whos parents paid for everything on their cars at least i worked to get my car and everything on it. my red civic sedan was bone stock in march of 2005. i can be very cocky but those of u who know me i can also be the coolest mf you could know< JUST DONT TALK SHIT> no one belived i would do the things to my car i said im not a fucking liar.and for u guys to judge all i can say is just wait and seeWay to piss off your customer base and make them feel wanted in your shop....
And as for the bunch of kids comment....ummm.....how old are you? And second, who cares if their parents bought them their cars. I don't. Noone does. In fact, it favors your business to have parents buying things for their kids. Most 38-55 year olds have more money than 18-23 year olds.
There are plenty of us "Older" people here as well. I can think of a good amount that are over 30.
Congrats on building your car, however. It takes work & determination, no doubt....but the just wait and see comment sounds an awful lot like bench racing rather than real work done.

How 'bout you just post a sign outside your business that says, "Sorry but we cannot except any business from you unless you can prove that your (such and such) age and that your mommy and daddy aren't paying for anything". Just remember good publicity travels fast but bad publicity travels faster. Congradulations on alienating a good portion of your customer base.
I'm sure other businesses like TM and SLS get there share of ricers and rich kids but, hey, business is business and money is money, even if somebody comes in to buy the 6 ft tall wing they say on F&F they will still do there best to get one for them because they are "the customers".Ricers = $$$$
Rich parents = $$$$
.02 centsSterling Archer: Oh my god! You killed a hooker!
Cyril Figgis: Call girl!
Sterling Archer: No Cyril! When they're dead they're just hookers!

WOW. you just screwed your customer basis over. My family has owned many resturaunts, and the key to getting customers is BEING POLITE and not acting like a complete asshole and just prove yourself through your work. You dont go around cocking off and saying all the things you just said, cause like averone said, good news spreads fast, but bad news spreads faster.

Obviously he's not the only 1 who will be working there.. He even quoted that he won't be the one working on the car.. Soo if they do good work and got good prices; we will see...
Many business's out there have from time to time made a bad example of themselves and still succeed... But in this case, I bet the shop doesn't even open and is probably a bunch of talk. Let's see if he proves us wrong! -
Either way...
Road Sounds is said to be the one working on his car in the near future form what he has stated here and on NA. If he is opening a shop why doesn't he have his magical workers do the work on his vehicle. If he doesn't trust them then why should anyone else, says alot for them. His attitude seems to be a larger turn off than anything though. Seems as though there really isn't a market for another shop in Fargo. Basicaly all areas of the car scene are covered, who are you marketing to.
Most people with cars already are loyal to a shop in town with much more experience than someone who cannot do there own tunning and for reason. Tufte has been tunning and rodding cars since I have met the kid in high school, and has made some what of a name for himself, no offense but he has even worked in most of the shops in town at one time or another learning from experience. Shane has also done the same he was working and tunning Hondas and every other car in GF were he has dominated the market for years, from the White Civic with Green tint with the Giant wing, I envied in highschool at the local shows in GF damn near 10 yrs ago, to his ITR and other vehicles. You really have no roots in the scene and trying to plant them by causing drama and talking crap is not a very good start.

OH SHIT, I almost forgot. He didn't lose all his customer base. What about the bosnians. They'll pay loads of money for shit. All he has to do is cater to them and he may have a successful business.

I am just curious how many of your people working at your shop are certified, or have installed more than 3 cd players in there entire life? Just because I have cleaner installs than best buy when I am half asleep doesn't mean I can just go open up a shop, treat people like crap, and expect to make it. Go ahead, open your shop. But be forewarned, your business will reflect on how well you treat your customers, wiht prices, installation, and above all-customer service.
