Those of you that know me personally will know that I'm looking for commercial premises. for the rest of you though I pose a question:

How far would you drive to find someone that would do a proper job on your car?

I know some of you drive to yatala to get your cars serviced. I'm currently I'm looking around the 17 mile rocks area for buildings as there is no one there in my industry so it will free up a few product lines that I am restricted on in my current location.

thoughts?

if anyone is in the commerical game - flick me a message. property need not be bigger than 130m2 zones industrial/w'hse and it needs an office.

Southside FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

looking there too. issue being is traffic. most of the new ones are off in side streets and the oldest ones are falling down and tehy still want $20k too much.

there is one in clontarf that I would take in an instant if it wasn't tucked in the rear of snook st industrial estate.

personally i dont mind traveling some distance for quality work although a 1-1.5hours would be prob my limit depending on the amount of work needed(i live near jimboomba)

ps: i need you to install some stuff for me :)

thats what I was loking for. I'm used to peole complaining about crossing the bridge 20 min away so getting this feedback gives me a better idea. keep it coming.

Dan,

build it and they will come :)

wynnum/manly area?

or failing that, how bout Pinkenba? ultra close to gateway so fairly central to south siders and north siders? Also, not sure how far into industrial vehicles you venture, but there is $$$$$$ down there with heavy duty auto electrical stuff. Used to work at AshdownIngram so delt with a number of auto elecs that worked around there.

My g/f's dad has a few commercial properties and lots down at Pinkenba that are available for rent, not sure on size/$$ but happy to ask if interested. PM if you want me to chase up more info.

Matt

what about virginia/geebung chris?

there is heaps for lease/sale in there...

there is. looked at a few off sandgate rd and yarraman pl. they want $30K for them

and I can't use them. they are all office or all storage (no office) and those one the owners won't let you mod them.

wynnum/manly. never looked out there. send me a PM with the details and I'll have a look once I get back to brissy (I'm enroute to sydney/canberra currently.)

im at mango hill on the northsaide ......

so id say yatala would be getting to my limits only cause it would be a pain to organise someone to follow me over to get a ride home if my car had to stay there.

I reckon if you can get a place somewhere inside a 5-10km ring of the city you're set as far as volume goes because the random mums/kids that want some front speakers or a basic head unit will choose based on convenience (and price obviously). If you're focussing on the enthusiast market then you have more leeway because as you've pointed out, people will usually drive further for quality work. So it depends on where you see your business focussing in the near future. The other thing to consider is, where are you going to be living?

Anyway for me personally, as a general rule I'd say I'd travel an hour for quality work, more if the quality is exceptional or I'm getting a lot done at once.

PS I need to get you up to put those horns in the 33!

+1 yatala ftw.. so much development and recession on i'm sure a good deal can be made to get some ppl in the factories.. also benefit being in the middle of brissy and gold coast..

    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new  
    • Nissan needs to forget about building SUVs in every size possible and bring back the damn Silvia/200sx duo to compete with the 86/brz. Maybe with the Honda type r motor pointing the right way
    • Good to see you followed your heart, got your dream car and have it pretty well sorted out now. I think anyone can get caught out with a seller not being 100% honest about a cars problems. Can relate to all the electrical issues, had similar issues with my first car (mk2 escort) ages ago
    • I just bought the Nexus S3 for my gtt, haven’t installed it yet as I’m collecting parts to do everything at once…so far spent $14,000 The Nexus is nearly future proof
