Service woes

[man0war]

We TVR owners in SA only have one official service centre to our TVR's to when they break down, which, let's face, WILL happen. I've had issues with the lack of urgency from our local TVR repair centre, as too have other Tivvers. As a tresult of this, and the fact that the current owner doesn't have a great interest in the business, I have decided to buy out the only TVR repair centre in SA.

Now what I need is some help in rebranding the place, as it carries some bad baggage. Firstly the name - help fellow pistonheaders, I need a name. I won't only be doing Tivvs, but various performance cars and bikes, as well as quads.

I would really appreciate some suggestions on a name. Thanks in advance guys.

The place currently only does mechanical service, maintenance and repairs. I will look at doing body repairs later on.

Man0war,

I know this is a little off the subject but how on earth do you guys get parts in SA. I have enough trouble in the UK....

what about (BBS) British Brut Servicing....sadly maybe not so relevant looking forward

Crikey - talk about buy the hotel just to sack the manager. But the best of luck to you.
Which city is the garage in - assuming Jo'burg.

Torque Central ?

It has been an absolute nightmare getting anything done on my Tiv, and that is the main reason for me taking the service centre over. At least that way I will be in control of my baby's destiny (a control freak, as you might have gathered). All bull asside, it has been hard, not only for me, but for the other Tiv owners too. I know that with some clever persuasion and some smart ideas, I can make things a whole lot better for Tivvers here. Maybe not erfect, but certainly better.

Kinda like the British Brut Servicing ... not bad. Thanks !!!

I love my Tiv too much to give up on her, so either move to the UK where I have options, or create my own options. The weather is what keeps me here, so yes, maybe a drastic step, but no better way to have my baby looked after. Yes, it's in Jo'burg.

Thanks for the Torque Central, top of my list so far. It's simple, yet says it all. Good one matey!!!

You may have to go with Brute, otherwise likely to start getting writs from the aftershave boys
