  1. Joe, it is what the old black preacher said about his preaching, "I gather a little here and a little there but it is still my honey." Most of us probably know very little that we haven't learned from others. I know that I personally have had very few original ideas in my life. However, the ability to teach and share that knowledge with others is "honey".
  2. This forum is blessed to have two very gifted and talented writers in GONZO and JOE.
  3. THat would be way above average in this market.
  4. I too am interested in learning your sales process. Please share!
  5. The first thing I would do is start taking some classes. Find an Elite Worldwide one day sales class that you can attend. It will cost you but it will pay for itself. Also NAPA offers some excellent sales service writer training classes on line. These will help. http://www.napaonline.com/Resources/education-and-training.aspx.
  6. I like it. It has a good look and lots of stuff to click. I might like to see a picture of your shop or of some of your staff. The reason I mention this is because you look so young and that might cause some people to hesitate. I do not know if that is a valid concern or not but it was a first impression.
  7. Another great post. New members like yourself are making ASO better and better. There is no doubt that this is the forum for Auto Shop Owners. How do you sell Road Hazard?
  8. Great opening post! Welcome to ASO! In regard to the pricing above we would be a little lighter than you guys, about $479 total. However Indiana only collects $0.25 a tire for a tire fee.
  9. How does their price compare to remans from LKQ?
  10. We buy tries from ATD, TCI, Carroll, and a couple of smaller area wholesalers. We also buy tires from Discount tire.
  11. You have to be bad to get an F from BBB.
  12. About what the market will bear.
  13. Car-x likes to place new stores in retail destinations, with 30K car count, and a population base minimum of 80K.
  14. From a show on Canadian TV, where a black comedian said he misses Bill Clinton. "Yep, that's right - I miss Bill Clinton! He was the closest thing we ever got to having a real black man as President. Number 1 - He played the sax. Number 2 - He smoked weed. Number 3 - He had his way with ugly white women. Even now? Look at him ... his wife works, and he doesn't! And, he gets a check from the government every month. Manufacturers announced today that they will be stocking America 's shelves this week with " Clinton Soup," in honor of one of the nations' distinguished men. It consists primarily of a weenie in hot water. Chrysler Corporation is adding a new car to its line to honor Bill Clinton. The Dodge Drafter will be built in Canada . When asked what he thought about foreign affairs, Clinton replied, "I don't know, I never had one." The Clinton revised judicial oath: "I solemnly swear to tell the truth as I know it, the whole truth as I believe it to be, and nothing but what I think you need to know." Clinton will be recorded in history as the only President to do Hanky Panky between the Bushes."
  15. Arriving in Heaven All arrivals in heaven have to go through a bureaucratic examination to determine whether admission will be granted. One room has a clerk who inputs computerized records of what each applicant did on his or her last day of life. The first applicant of the day explains that his last day was not a good one. "I came home early and found my wife lying naked in bed. She claimed she had just gotten out of the shower. Well, her hair was dry and I checked the shower and it was completely dry too. I knew she was into some hanky-panky and I began to look for her lover. I went onto the balcony of our 9th floor apartment and found the swine clinging to the rail by his fingertips. I was so angry that I began bashing his fingers with a flower pot. He let go and fell, but his fall was broken by some awnings and bushes. On seeing he was still alive I found super human strength to drag our antique cedar chest to the balcony and throw it over. It hit the man and killed him. At this point the stress got to me and I suffered a massive heart attack and died." The clerk thanked him and sent him on to the waiting room. The second applicant said that his last day was his worst. "I was on the roof of an apartment building working on the AC equipment. I stumbled over my tools and toppled off the building. I managed to grab onto the balcony rail of a 9th floor apartment but some idiot came rushing out on the balcony and bashed my hands with a flower pot. I fell but hit some awnings and bushes and survived, but as I looked up I saw a huge chest falling toward me. I tried to crawl out of the way but failed and was hit and killed by the chest." The clerk couldn't help but chuckle as he directs the man to the waiting room. He is still giggling when his third customer of the day enters. He apologizes and says "I doubt that your last day was as interesting as the two fellows that arrived here just before you." "I don't know" replies the man. "Picture this, I'm bollock naked hiding in this cedar chest......"
  16. I would sell to my partner and pursue other interests.
  17. Joe, enjoy the warm weather and your family. Thank you for creating a forum that has value to all of us. Happy Thanksgiving!
