I like your start ..edgy ... my impression is for a auto shop geared towards the young with small car racers kinda.
Myself though I push the... service more then the name except for car lots, older businesses, wholesale, banks etc.

I like your way of thinking...trying to push quality. My auto repair shop "TBone Automotive" is all about quality. Thats what it started as was quality before quantity, and thats what I intend for my reputation to build off of. "Darkside Auto Solutions" on the other hand was a second business that was started to showcase our artistic abilitys. As an auto repair shop, we were not getting our full customer base because there were very few that knew what we could do with the customization side of things. So we started the second business and now there is 2. Lol, plain and simple. No matter what, quality will always be my first policy though.
For all the input.

oh and i forgot to add to that story, about the body/fender shop guy who asked me to leave. after about a year workin in a body shop part time, i ventured back into that shop as a NAPA salesman. the guy remembered me, we had some greeting small talk. he then started asking me questions about body/fender work. armed with some knowledge(bout a year) of what it take to do this work, i rattled of answers like i knew what i was talkin bout. he gave me an order that day for some paint products, and he became one of best customers. he would call the store for paint products.......and ask for me to take the order.

Um......ok Maybe you should try some Kava...or Prune Juice.....definitely lay off the coffee.
This guy seems to genuinely respond to our feedback and understands the need for training and the input of his peers. IMHO

:ROFLMAO:
O, and if anyone else has any suggestions as to resources I could pick up to push me in the right direction that would be great. Already got the book suggested earlier but any little bit helps. I also found a se of training dvd's online that looked like they would be of some help, can't wait to get them. I'll try to look up and see what their called and post back on here to see if any of you have heard of the guy teaching the course. Well, gotta get back to work, but I'll check in later today. I know I sound redundent but thanks again to everyone for all the input so far! :U Rock:
If you look at GOOD art (& signs) and try to pick apart what you like about it, that is usually a learning tool too. Look at some of the portfolios of people on here or when you are out driving around, be aware of the signs that you like or that work well and ask yourself why. Do you like the colors, layout is easy to read, catches your attention, etc. and then try to apply that to what you do. I learned ALOT about fine art painting by picking apart other's paintings..."Man, he used purple in that guy's hair, but it works because it compliments the yellow and makes that jump out! Hmmm, think I'll try that."
There's sometimes a fine line between copying and learning though...make sure you don't just copy someone elses ideas outright.
