Well, its 2 weeks into the years work & Im knee deep again
I really like 'Southern Mechanical' Im from the deep south & like the rest of the globe down that latitude, we have a different bent on things compared to northerners - I think thats why I get on with my customers so well, they appreciate someone real
The confederate flag might be a push at the crux of designing the new signage! hmmmm

hi zeph. i guess goodwill was never paid but if it was some of it would be for the name. would mean you are tossing money away. always be wary when accountants and bank managers want to buy a business. get them to show you the colour of there money. the garage worked well before, you made it better. just spend the name change money on junior and mrs oh and have a tui on me

Hi Bazz, yep that old thing about goodwill - the thing is, Ive been there for all of the goodwill to be built up, I fixed the cars, I made the name better, I did the hard yards in the end - it should have been my name up there. The name wont make a difference I can basically bet on that, people still turn up & ask - Um Im looking for James! Nobody asks for Neil & frankly Im sick to death of arriving at work like its 9 years ago thinking "jeez - that name above the door has the same font as 'the goodies' I guess the guy running it must be ancient"
I never paid a cent for goodwill, but got the entire client base updated to my Synergy programme - started sending WOF reminders (after everyone complained we didnt) & things went off from there

Steve you booze hound, I should introduce you to some Hokonui Moonshine!
UJ - thats not bad, not great but not bad
A wise guy I know said I should name it after an animal - nobody forgets an animal name/ picture Before the grease monkey thing happens - boooooring

I would take a local name, like the area or suburb, it automatically gives a bit of credibility if the name is already known and trusted.

I thought that too, then I think about Fitzgerald Auto - way out waterloo road - it just sounds wrong Like the idea of Lancaster Mechanical (with the right warbird for logo'ing) as Im right next to it - speaking of which, the new AMI signage is going up - lord it looks butt uglier than the stadium itself

Honest Automotive Able Automotive Mr Fixit Automotive (or just Fixit) - although Paul Henry types might turn that into thick $hit ;-)
Shorten Automotive to Autos, but then it might sound a bit like a car yard.

'The busted knuckle' its a name that every one that has ever had any involvement with working on vehicles will relate to and they would rather it happen to you than them.
