Default opinions please tuners in wales

hi i have owned a repair and mot garage in south wales since 2001,i have owned lots of performance cars mainly rs and have done various different types of conversions for myself and customers ,and obviously general repairs ,serviceing ,tuning ,engine rebuilds and whatever really.i have quite a few customers with performance cars but have never really pushed and advertised the fact that we are capable of maintaining/tuning these types of cars as most of my customers have general everyday cars .as my amount of performance car customers are increasing and the lack of performance car specialists in wales we are cosidering expanding to a second premises just to cater for tuning, conversions and rebuilds etc on most performance cars .
i would appreceate your honest opinion on if you think there is a need for this type of business in wales .

I dont see why there wont be, They love there cars just as much as everyone else. Just got to make sure there is no other big tuners. Plus make sure you are as good as you say you are and not a cowboy as alot of people will already have a tuner they use and will be very wary about trying a new tuner even if it is closer to home. Not calling you a cowboy but there are a few out there.

hi dai recognised you from the cars in the pics ,you converted my black orion to turbo about three years back ,fair play it looked as tho ford built it you boys not long after done a zvh front cooler 5th injecter hybrid all in short space of time the car made 214bhp on rollers afterwards .the reason i mention it is i said to you at the time to advertise and specialise in fast cars but to be fair you said you could nt handle any more work at time and it looked like it too.
so i say second premises hell yeah go for it i looking for a saff cossie at min you would defo have my work and recomendation

theres not one tidy in south wales with RS cars,, go for it!

i think at one point or another ive worked on every car in the south wales rs owners club i think that says something for you

i was putting together a business plan a few years ago as myself was going to be stepping into the world of tuning, but i decided i hate dealing with the public so pulled my idea out
