    Default HEY YOU GUUUUUYYYYYYSSSSS!!!! new shop, new location

    We are in a new location!!!!:idb: 900 Sun Valley Drive Suite 5 Roswell Ga 30076. We are still getting things moved in and settled but are out this new Location. ALSO have a new phone number 404-839-3359 is the main office line. We've been laying low for the last 3 months while I was fighting with Roswell on the move and getting everything up to code and approved. Our work load is light now so it's good time to start asking quotes and getting work scheduled in. We have a new scheduling arrangement which inturn will help us w faster turn arounds. Also have a new face that will be there as a tech. Kurt is still there and FINALLY has his jetta going!
    I dyno'd mine and ended up putting out 341 whp at 17psi! Anyhow, that's off subject and needed to show how big my balllllz are. Huge thanks to our loyal customers and to those who continue to support us! The move has been rough and SLOW and I haven't been able to be on the phone or been as available like I used to. Hope no one took it personaly. Had to devote a lot of time to getting approved by the city.
    We will be having a GTG at the new location by the end of Nov. Still have some more cosmetic things I want to do on the inside. Thanks guys. it's been awesome and we continue to look forward to helping everyone.

    Welp....

    good news and bad news...

    It's been a while and figured it was time for a post. We are taking this down time to get caught up and put bad habits behind us. The 2 corrados are leaving in the days to come, Solo Motorsports S4 has doors back on it and getn ready for paint, LanDrum Motorsports Porsche silver rose turbo s is just about ready for final prime, BFI's corrado is getn wrapped up as well and we have some projects up our sleeve for next season. We are going to be putting a lot into SoWo and QDM. I've been open for over a year now and it's time to do a car that is hands down on paint. WE've worked some deals in the past and we've worked w budgets...
    Problem is when you agree w people on a price and a "deal" something get left out... They have to and that's lead to some not so good things. What happens is at a show OTHER people point out flaws. It's human nature to defend oneself and say "yeah, I took it [such and such] place and that what I got." No one ever says, "yeah, they worked with me and worked with my budget." What happens is people get upset and other people start talking and that how rumors and bad reps get started.
    Not this year. It's a new shop, new location and better energy! New things in place and new systems. Have they worked? So far they are dead on. We are still here but it's time for me to buckle down and get work done son. It's not easy running the front and back and do everything. What DOES work is for me to put the phone down from time to time and focus. If you call, leave a message. I assure you if it's your car I'm working on you would want the same attention I'm giving to the one when you call.
    We have a new matrix for estimates that insurance companies are able to upload from and sometimes the adjuster does not even have to come to the shop. This service costs us money but it makes it easier for the all parties and let us stay focused by staying on task and off the phone.
    I have been dialing the booth in over the last couple weeks and so far results are VERY promising. The filters had to special ordered and I mean special ordered. Costs over $1000 everytime I change filters now. The old booth only cost $180 for intake and exhaust. We are still waiting on our filters but they have been cut and are waiting to be shipped after Turkey Day. In fact that's one of the first things everyone says when they see the new booth... "wow, its smaller then the old one." Yup, the old one was a truck booth. Even with our new booth being a cross flow it's smaller BUT means smaller surface area to keep clean and cleaner jobs which saves you guys money by cutting down labor on addl time.
    Even our air make up is cleaner and much more stable. We are just about done with gettng the compressor up and running. There was a problem with the limit switch and having to source the correct oill lines but Paul at RingTec has been nice enough to let us splice off his line. Running our air make up as big as we have keeps a steady a pressure and flow. The guns I spray with depend more on FLOW then pressure. with a 50 gallon tank and 25hp air pump we wont be running out of air.
    Still have some house keeping to do with paint but that come over time. It's been an awesome year and you guys continue to be loyal. Even Sulman has no excuse not to get out and roll on those wheels!!!

    Even today was crazy, Walker shows up with the ghetto on a tow truck while I was talking to Kevin who was on tour and while walker was there Pedro calls to say he's dropping off his car b/c he hit a pot hole and while saying bye tom him Richard calls and says he's coming by b/c the car wash scratched the crap out of his car... All this in 15 minutes!
    Again, so much support as we continue to grow and thank you. You have to take the good with bad and in all we're still here and still put'n out awesome cars that you guys dream up. There's a lot coming for this next season... Heck, even Andretti's has a new look and new carts (hint, hint!!!)

    Cheers,
    Bryson
