Thanks guys!

A bit of background for those who didn't hear.

Recently, I was laid off after 12 years as Operations Manager for a local construction company. With the industry on a decline at the moment, I could have decided to spend 2-6 months sending out resumes and looking for work in the field I have worked with for 25 years (retail construction). If I was in Toronto, I could likely get a job tomorrow, but retail in Ottawa is a different scene.

So having been a car nut my whole life, it wasn't hard to decide what I really wanted to do. It has been quite a busy month, putting everything in place, getting equipment and some challenges to overcome but it's all coming together very well.

The purpose of this business is to provide a better service than we typically get in the industry. No coffee runs with your car, no over-torquing your lugnuts, no treating you as a number and simply selling you something to get you out the door.

I want this business to cater to the customer and what they need, and provide a unique experience, like a spa for your car. High-quality equipment and service.

Also, do you need an employee? Lol
I added some sampling of wheels in the commercial thread.
Not yet, but who knows?
