gtrken Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Yes , the rumours are correct but not for the reasons people think. We have been hard at it for 3 years and it's time Glenn and myself took a break. Glenn will be seeking to change direction in regards to type of cars and what he actually is tuning and I will be staying here until it is sold or will stay on if the new owner wants a manager. He will be avaliable to tune if the need arises and we have access to a competent tuner for the times he isn't in the country. The business is going very well ( as is attested by the brokers figures on what it's worth ) , we certainly aren't going broke and we haven't had a fight, just things change in your life and you have to re assess your goals. We will be closed from December 22nd till January 8th and it will be business as usual. Thanks to all our past customers , welcome to our future ones and we wish you all a Merry Christmas. If anyone is seriously interested in purchasing a business that has excellent turnover, good profit figures , secure lease then call me direct. I can assure you for those who are into the investment scenario , this returns far better %'s than buying a rental property Cheers Ken Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/147728-fact-or-fiction/#findComment-2757517 Share on other sites More sharing options...

LUMPY Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 For the time being, nothing will really change. There is no need to find another shop. Ken will still be at the helm, and our 2 long-time technicians Andrew and Mike will be out the back slaving away, so the same standards of service and scope of work will be available. I will be available for specialist tuning on an appointment basis through Hyperdrive. Bookings can be made through Ken provided I am available, otherwise the boys can handle the more basic stuff themselves (s-afc, power runs etc) and as Ken says we have another tuner on back-up. So it really is business as usual. Anyone interested in the business would be hard pressed to find a better set-up operation with a good reputation and loyal customer base. With the 2 behind the scenes men wanting to stay onboard after the sale, the transition for all couldnt be any better. Thanks to all for the wishes.

teejay Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Shame really, but like Ken and Lumpy have said sometimes its time for a change. Best wishes in your future pursuits both of you, and thanks for the countless hours I've wasted just chatting or laughing about things in general.

MrMayhem Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Only 3 years but straight to the top rung on the workshop front with a solid reputation for quality work and tuning its a pity it will change hands but going out on a high not in shame like other workshops have had collapsed in. Pro operation good luck with what comes. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/147728-fact-or-fiction/#findComment-2788696 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lacitpo Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 sad to see a highly respected shop losing its familiar faces but like the mayhoe said good to go out with a highly respected name dad will be pissed, he was rather happy about being the first car that ever got a service there and how yous went about business (JRJ 1 - shiraz S14a, 17" sparco's, suspension work, stock mechanics) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/147728-fact-or-fiction/#findComment-2788716 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazza08 Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Wow... i can't wish anything but the best of luck to you both. Glenn is one hell of a tuner and the Jap performance industry in WA will miss him greatly! Can't thank you enough for your help and the ob you did on my old r32.
