You've had it since before you opened. Twenty bays. All of them full. Builds on stands that get photographed and shared across the country. A name that crossed metro lines — customers driving an hour because there was nowhere else worth taking it. Craftsmen who stayed because the work was real and the reputation was worth being part of. A waiting list, not a slow week.
You saw it somewhere. A movie. A shop tour. Someone else's reel. It wasn't a fantasy. It was a target. You built the image long before you built the business.
That shop doesn't exist in your market. Not because the market can't support it. Not because the customers aren't there. Because no one in this industry — in Houston, in Los Angeles, in Dallas, in any major market in this country — has had the infrastructure to build it.
