Great news Doug, how exicting for you.

In terms of the name, my advice would be to go for something descriptive so that the name sells itself.

e.g High Street Garage, Telford Motor Repairs, Wrekin Car Sales and Repair etc. You can always use a logo or a 'sub' title when the business is established. In the mean time you want people to know where you are and what you do.

The very best of luck to you. Look forward to coming to the party.  :y

goodluck with the new line of bussines, wish you all the best :y :y

I too think it would be best not to put Omegas to far in the foreground after all, you want to make a living out of it, and people should know that you are capeable of fixing all types of vehicles.

I wish you the best in your new business venture.

Less of this please "so if it all goes T*ts up i can blame you lot" not before you've started.

As for a name: [size=16]"Telford Vehicle Repair"[/size]   ;D ;D ::)

or [size=14]"TVR"[/size] for short

Every best wish for your new venture :y

My own view on a name is to avoid tying yourself down, either to repairs or even to Omegas - remember you'll have a few P/Xs to get moved as well and, in time, you may want to branch out into other models.

I thought about something that would be general to all cars and came up with:

[size=16]V5 Vehicle Engineering & Sales[/size]

V5, because every car has one and "Engineering" because that's what you do. There are shed loads of "garages" and "car repairers" around. You want to show that you are a professional, not just any old grease monkey.

Also, being alphanumeric, V5 will give Yellow Pages a headache!  ;D ;D ;)

...and you can have fun doing a "V5" logo.

Probably a rubbish suggestion, but whatever you call it, I hope the business goes well for you.  :y

Cheers
Nick

 :)Got a few funny names in mind but they'd not help in the real world. Might help to involve other vxs to expand your market while still pushing the personal touch to all vx owners, hence building up trust with people who do'nt want to go to the "stealers"
     Would you offer tyre fitting, minor accident repairs/spraying? As regards parts would you supply & fit? I think a website for spares would extend your market from just passing trade & would help get you established. Would it be ok to say "endorsed by OOF?"
      Regarding names i'd keep it simple ie Telford Vx Ctr. Your friendly local etc....
         All the best & i'll watch this post.
            Cheers Guy.
    
    P.S Blow up some suitable pics from the meets, frame them & hang in the customers waiting area near the coffee machine!!!!!!!!!!!!! [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]
