Ok, TTORA....Being a Tech for over 20 years, I'm ready to do something.
I'm getting the shop "itch" after working for other people and running shops
I am going to start planning on opening My own shop.Including an off road DEPARTMENT=Fabrication!

It will be a "full service" repair facility including Toyota/Scion/Lexus, Japanese, and even some GM and Ford consideration.
I will be looking close to home in the Webster/Friendswood area = 45 South
For a suitable location or possible "new" construction.

The most important thing for me, Is to hear from all of you and any input/ideas you would want in a Service facility.

Thank You for Your consideration.

Joe P.

Nasa 1 and highway 3 right across from the Whataburger. I beleive it has 4 to 5 full rollup bay doors, and an access from a side road.
4 bays with an Alignment Rack would be a good Start...

Grand opening!

Grand opening! :) :rolleyes:

Ok, now that I'm home from Cozumel it's time to get this going!
Anyone thinking of buying a new Taco can have me add a lifted/wheel tire combo built in with the payments/financing to get a turn-key off roader!!
Right off the showroom floor. lower interest than most credit cards.
I've done several Taco's,FJ's and Tundra's already and have one dc shortbed left on the lot for everyone to check out.

Looking foward to helping Ya'll.

Thanks,
