I am going from a small 3 bay facility with cars piled up on top of each other and no room to move - to a faciliy with 13 lifts and 13,000 square feel

In the new location we have customer waiting areas so customers dont have to wait in the service bays while cars are being repaired. There are multiple offices to sit down with customers and go over details.

They also recently added a huge second shop in the back which serves to house bigger installs and long term projects etc.

Also - ICS has in house shop Evo IX and Shop STI 07 vehicles which I will be tuning and modifying to serve as test beds for customers to see how a great street machine should run.

Basically, ICS is set up just the way you want a world class high performace center to be.

Also - my Evo will be on display in the dyno bay at ICS for all my customers to check it out when they stop by which is a huge advantage for me as I will actually be able to work on my car now if I find some time between tuning appointments

Not to mention the fact that ICS is one mile from my house and less than a mile from the home office of Dyno Flash

Recently, an opening developed and I was lucky enough to secure a spot on the ICS team.

Nothing hapened to The Shop, they did a fantasctic job of servicng my customer's needs over the past year and I really enjoyed my colaberation with them.

When the chance arose to move to a much larger, better equiped facility with more resources I simply made the move to the ICS team. I feel that the new faciliy will offer a better experience for my customers and also it will give me a better environment to continue to do high quality work.

And since you're closer to home you can be on time to work on cars. No more of those "Al showed up late as usual" stories! +1

Congrats on your move and your new home/team!

In this case - happily Subway is located directly accross the street so I can get lunch there
