    Starting a shop is probably just as good of an idea as trying to start another Chicago car forum.

    Only one company on the planet (WalMart) has ever success fully focused on everything - and 50% of the planet hates their guts.

    If you're going to open a good shop and actually attract customers, you'll have to pick a niche and hit it ...HARD. Either focus on a certain car (Nuthin' But Vettes!) or family of cars (All F-Bodies, All Da Time!) or choose a certain operation that you are going to specialize in (Transmission, Shmansmission or Turbo A-Go Go).

    Even if you know everything about every car out there, start with a limited market focus. Build a customer base ...THEN you branch out. You can move from one type of car across a manufacturer's complete offering, or logically move your way from trans to engines to exhaust. Trying to do it all at once is gonna hurt.

    (Hell, I may be wrong ...but that doesn't happen very often.)

    All I know is I don't have to deal with them.

    I used to when they'd call in saying they couldn't process claims, but those days are over now.

    before gettin a shop name get a kick ass shop car to draw customers.
    alot of shops opened up around the chicagoland are in the past 2 years you you have some tough competition.
    know what kind of customers your going to attract rich kids,ricers,show cars,drag cars.
    then get some crazy part hook ups, cause you cant name your shop jdm source if you only carry aem and apc.
    then after you got all that down then worry about the name.
