The Racers Line, is coming to the East Bay! - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

The Racers Line · 08-23-2015, 11:08 PM

NOW BOOKING for September 15th and after!

Yes yes, the not-so secret is out.

Many of you know my efforts to move my business down to the East Bay have been very time consuming and stressful. I am happy to officially announce now, I have found and locked down a suitable facility in Concord!

This new space is extremely central. Just 2 mins from the closest BART station, 10 mins from downtown Walnut Creek and an hour from San Jose/Santa Rosa/Sacramento! I can't begin to thank enough, the customers that have driven to my little place in Santa Rosa, for the past few months, and even before I was the official TRL. I am very happy to finally bring my business closer to you guys!

What will change:
1. Understandably, my overhead costs are rising. The hourly install rate will be going up slightly. I can promise however, it will still be very competitive, and the purchase/install deals will still be fantastic!

2. As something that has interested me personally, and of course helped influence my shop name, I will be ramping up my track/race gear and accessories business. Stocking quality, yet affordable, helmets, gloves and more will be the first step. You will be able to come TRL and leave ready for a track day!

3. A few new services will be offered, and explained in my shop thread.

4. A real waiting area! I know most of you guys like watching me work on your vehicle, as well as getting to check out your car on the lift, but I want to offer more. Wifi, Xbox, AC, and a nice sitting area await you if you decide to hang out!

When:
I get the keys on September 1st, and will be moving in ASAP. I will announce the official opening when the time comes. I will be throwing a little open house/meet when it is all ready.

I will be working out of my current shop until the day I start moving into the new place, however I have already started booking appointments for September in the new shop, so feel free to contact me for a quote.

Furthermore, anyone that receives a quote in this month of August, will lock in my current hourly labor rate for that job, whether or not it is done in the same month.

Thank you everyone! I plan to continue providing high quality parts and installations to the FRS/BRZ community, (and others) and appreciate all the praise and support I have received thus far!
