New shop!
 
Well, here we go again. Always said if things didn't go down the way they did between me and my old partner I'd still have my shop. Was on craigslist the other day and it was listed for rent. Talked to the landlord and worked a deal today.
So, looks like we own a business again. Need a few days to ge everything in and squared away but spread the word if anyone needs autobody or mechanical work done. Need all the help we can get to get things up and running.
Right in Worcester on rt 20. Address is 236 southwest cutoff. Wish us luck.

ILuvPizzaTimes10 07-26-2011 07:49 PM

Congrats though, glad to see you back at it!

irockidz28 07-26-2011 08:40 PM

congrats man!!! thats awesome!

bottledbird68 07-26-2011 09:57 PM

David, most on here don't know it but my nick name around these parts is/was chicken and the old shop was "Chickens Customs".
Don't think I want to re use the old name for various reasons but I still have a good reputation individually so right now we're leaning towards "Chickens Automotive".
That way we don't scare off the soccer moms from stopping in by having a performance type name.

bottledbird68 07-26-2011 10:00 PM

Maddie, they have been gone for over a year.

Joe, it's been almost four years to the day that my original involvement here ended. Time does fly but I almost feels like I never left.

Boomer, yup, two jobs for now but I think it's the smartest choice at least until the shop is up, running, and has a stable work flow to keep itself going.
Already have a few jobs lined up but the calendar is far from full. Actually have a 71 chevelle coming in on Saturday :)

Pizza, come on down. Doesn't look like much yet but we're working on it.

Josh, no employees for a while. Want to make sure it can support us first before we even think about that.

Congrats Matt! Good luck!

Ah....OK, sounds good. Also, you will rank really high with Google searches since there aren't any other "Chickens Automotive" out there.

I don't have a paint mixing station here but I never did. I can handle matching it though with my suppliers. Let me know when you're ready.
