Well 2010 is here and still the business is growing even though the
number of gtir's in uk is falling (mainly due to the volume that have been
scrapped).
we are now breaking less vehicles than before and concentrating our
efforts more on keeping them on the road, but we still carry a huge array
of parts.
There has also been a huge rise in people wanting more power from their
cars so we now also undertake a lot more engine builds than before 'being
standard as well as fully forged builds' to race spec in some cases.
we hope you have a good and trouble free year of motoring with your
car, but should you require a quote, help or advice then we are only a phone
call away.
please take a browse through our website to look at the services we offer!
This business started purely by accident. I purchased
a gtir around two and a half years ago purely to race in one of the leading
circuit championships, I also purchased a 2nd car to use as spares for
the race car. I then joined 2 of the leading owner club sites to gather
further info on these cars and all there weaknesses! it became apparent
to other users on the owners clubs that I had a 2nd car, and as spares
were relatively hard to obtain at a fair price, I ended up selling the
entire car within a fortnight of its purchase, then another, another and
so on, until it almost became a full time business to run.
Since then we have branched out and expanded at an alarming
rate with carrying out all works and repairs to these vehicles at very
competitive prices as there simply isn't many garages that like to work
on these vehicles, and those that do seem to charge the earth to carry
out the simplest of tasks.
Myself 'Bob' proprietor, have been in the motor trade for around 20
years now and also run two other successful businesses within the motor
trade. I can now take a backseat with those 'as other staff run them for
me, which enables me to concentrate on making this business bloom and
flourish and meet my high standards.
I am a fully qualified mechanic, and have extensive knowledge on most
vehicles, so without sounding too brash, I'm very adaptive and conversant
with the work I carry out to any motor vehicle, although specialising
in the little pulsar gtir.
I currently have 2 members of staff, the first being 'Lee'
who is a semi skilled mechanic who does one day a week college release
to study for his qualifications, and the remainder of the time he works
alongside me to become fully conversant with the gtir, he is a hard working
likeable guy that is a very good asset to my company.
Secondly there's my wife 'Clare' who carries out all the
paperwork, posting of parts and the like, also makes a lovely cuppa! without
her the business would be much more difficult to run, as she takes care
of everything I hate doing i.e. paperwork! wont ever see her with dirty
fingernails though!!!
