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.
