If a new shop opened up the street from from you, what would you like to see from it? Choice brands and if so which, solid mechanics, smart staff, value pricing, cool layout, etc? I've always had an interest in running a shop and am curious to see the answers.

people who know what they're talking about, a good variation in brands, and a miniramp or somethin cool in the back to just chill. and a couch and tv to sit and watch new vids

odyssey

eastern
st.martin
gsport
alianation
sputnic
stolen

Just a chill place for people. Smart mechanics are a must. Good layout. Good selection of brands.

Oh and if you're thinking of starting one, it would probably be a good idea to carry skateboarding stuff as well.

Good sized store
soda machines
little lounge with couches and tvs
sells all the top brands
trained mechanics
good service
labor isnt way overpriced
all the top brands
and a little mini ramp and ledges or something in back.

Inventory system online that actually uses live data instead of just whenever someone bothers to update the site. ****s me when a shop's website says they've got something "in stock" but then you actually go in and they haven't had it in stock since like 2007 and don't have a supplier and have no idea if they'll ever get it in stock again

good idea.
