I looked at your website, and it looks very nice. FWIW, the only thing I observed that I wish were different, were some real names & faces & short bios in the "About Us" area. I'm no internet marketing expert, but to me, I much prefer seeing some humanity behind the operation. Creates more credibility in my mind.

Thanks, Scott has had that website up for about 1 year. It really needs an overhaul.

Good deal. I'll check it out. BTW, I agree with the suggestion that your Website include some background info on the founders.

For what it's worth, I just joined the "club" at Sportscar Shop a few months ago and couldn't be happier. Very nice guys (they do exist), good facility, easy to schedule lift appts., etc.

As an Arlington resident w/o a garage I needed somewhere to work on the cars before my neighbors started to revolt. This club arrangement fits the bill perfectly and hope it works out long-term.

Can't make Tech this weekend, but have fun.
