That's right folks, what are we doing wrong? What are we doing right? this is the place to let us know!

Perhaps there is something you would like to see us offering, be it a part or a service of some sort. Let us know.

Mike

hmmm no complaints form me ye t you seme ot be realy helpful... especially greg..... well my friends says he wihses your evo tunes were cheaper

:: Thinking of a joke ::

I think that the scruffy guy at the front desk scares away everyone. I think his name is Greg. :p Just kidding. (Sorry Greg!! and for the record, Greg is da bomb.)

The times that I've come by have been great. Nothing to really complain about. I do kind of have a request though. Maybe update the list for parts on the website for 93-01 Impreza's. I don't think there are too many local vendors that carry GC parts. I think the only things you guys have listed for GC's are Cobb Tuning parts. But yeah... that's really about it.

well Paul gives a free reach-around with every "service" can you guys match or beat?

hehe, seriously though, never been to the shop, so I can't offer to much advice (will be swinging by friday or saturday with a tranny for Jeff though)

how about road tuning? i have a 4EAT and i know you can only lock it in 2nd when you dynotune it. i've heard a road tune can be very beneficial especially with a 4EAT.

Ok fair point, I will have Greg take a look at the GC section. Any thoughts on what products you would like to see us offer?

Oh and for the appearance of the shaggy scruff up front, you have not seen the latest I take it?? Greg has ZERO hair now (don't bet with the staff of GST is all I am saying :) )

Well we refer all reach around services to Paul as he is so good at it, I'll see what we can offer perhaps a lap dance from Derek or something instead.

Mike

Makes sense, how about all 4EAT's have 1 hour on the dyno and 1 hour on the road for our standard price?

Mike

I'd like to see, the additional services happen. Alignment, tire mounting/balancing. Another lift and another mechanic might be nice as well. Oh and no offense, but the shop area is starting to look like it did over at Gruppe-s. Other than that, I love you guys, best butt secks anywhere...

Ah, something we already have covered!!!! How's this..?

We're shutting down for an extra day over the holiday weekend (Tuesday 29th) to go through and re-org the whole place and tidy up as well to prepare for another lift.

Price for Butt secks is going up though, sorry you can't have it all! :D

Mike

Good the hear. Sad about the butt secks:(

all the work I have had at GST has been awesome. Only thing I would want to see different is:

1. an allignment rack
2. a review section on the website for parts.

Everything's been great, but what ever happened with the dyno viewing room? That, and maybe comments about the products on your website, where it says like 3 people have commented this product, person 1 gave 4 stars, blah blah blah

oh, and a TV in the front room. I would put some donation in for a PS2 or Xbox and some good bideo games. need to do something when we wait.

^
How about one of those GT4 contraptions with the TV, wheel, pedals, and seat?

Your warning has been noted. Haha.

As for things for GC's. Parts other than Cobb would be nice. I know Whiteline and Cusco carries a bunch of suspension stuff for GC's, and from what I've seen from other vendors, their stuff tends to be slightly cheaper.

Yeah... mainly suspension parts. I know there are a bunch of things for GC's. Just a matter of finding people who carry them.

The above dyno viewing room is slowing coming along, sorry. As far as TV and video game platforms, we got that covered ;) coming out soon. Gaming chair? That is a good possibility as well.

Complimentary breakfast, brunch, and lunch while cars are being serviced??

Just a thought.

Mike

i would be down for that! but where would be a good area to road tune? i know ed from eqtuning likes to do his roadtuning out in danville....

the last time I was there, I thought the free public wireless internet for the customers was great...was able to get some work done, keep it up...

Yea it sucks walking like 2-3 miles to get some Quiznos.

Actually getting a soda machine and maybe some kind of vending machine wouldn't be such a bad idea. You can lease them and have a chosen company come stock them. Or you can pick up a couple old timers on egay and stock them via costco.


on the brightside...when jeff gets into his sti you'll have enough space for your lift right there.

You guys can maybe have a candy/soda machine, maybe a snack bar?? i don't know, but that might be a good idea. . .

They had mints out... but let's face it... mints aren't filling.

and +1 to JDM receptionist. How about a guest computer so we can post whore on I-club? I guess when you guys get a PS3 or XBox 360... it can do things like that.

what about maybe a shop loaner...like a beater L or a 2.5RS or something, so that when we leave a car there all day for something, we can have a car to use to grab food or something

This is something we are concidering, my only problem with this is look what happened to the last beater "L" we brought :D

Mike

Aye... You could just use that as the loaner car... I don't know if you'll ever get it back though. :p

insurance can be quite the beast on doing this. That's the big one to look into.

Or maybe some kind of waiver of liability where you have none and driver takes all.

That's what I was thinking...

would be hella cool, you guys could sticker the **** out of it...

A hammock outside in the shade... for people to take naps??

Just an idea.

I'm feeling the whole TV with a gaming console idea, maybe that or another comp box in the open where customers can use it say 15 minutes at a time or something, I might have a monitor and an old box missing some parts I could donate...

I got a box of misc computer parts in the back of my car.

Yeah the only thing I cut is the cheese! LOL

By the way great ideas guys, keep'em coming. Love to hear more thoughts and ideas.

-Greg

A couch maybe? Ikea does wonders with cheap furniture.

couch, TV, maybe a game console, I've got a PS1 I can donate

then again a computer in the lobby would be sick too

maybe a drink or vending machine

some actual real parts in the display cases, I know you've got parts in there right now, but there really isn't anything you've got that someone could walk up and say I'll take this, to which you reach in the case, ring them up and they leave. You've gotta display the product for people to buy it. Brake lines, Brake fluid, Oil, Spark Plugs, Windshield Wipers, Horns, Brake Pads, etc.

a computer in teh lobby would be nice, or wireless internet for those customers with laptops. does greg provide "happy endings"? cause that'd be nice too

Computer in the lobby sounds like something you all agree on along with some other things so we are looking into providing these things. We do have public wireless internet here so bring your laptop down and enjoy. Ummm... "happy endings", let me think about that... :sign0135:

-Greg

^ I think there's a little problem with you considering it before saying hell no greggy poo...

i have to agree on the snack machine..... or a clown... or maybe a window so customers can see the wonders you perform out in the shop..?? thnaks again for the tune today.... felt great on the 2 hour drive home..... lo smore op end.... and very smooth through out the power band props to mike...... oh and put some parts out on display so we cna tinker with them while waiting..

Think about opening up on Saturdays!! Us guys who work all week can never
get down there and spend money.

I've been saying the same thing for a while, I know he will sometimes do tuning if you rub him the right way, but we needa get a mechanic there to do some installs, seriously Mike, you know we'd spend a couple hundred more there if it was that convenient to get stuff installed...

I'd like someone to answer the phone!

Thanks.

Yea not sure what the hell that is all about, going to call the phone company to see what's going on with that.

Mike

definitely. I have Friday, Saturday, and Sunday off most weeks, so being limited to just Friday (especially if I need to borrow a different car to get up there) is a PITA

Ok point taken on the weekends stuff, I think we can accomodate that with the expansion plans we have.

Mike

What would you like to see from us??


G-Reg, in a cherry blossom speedo working, and I mean workin the front desk.

Wheels in the wheel section of the site??

finish the waiting room above the dyno.. so i can see my sexy car while its getting tuned

A call back about my car/motor

Thanks

Do you guys do fender rolling? Might need to do that on mine down the line. Need to break that 225's tire limitation on my L.

glory hole

I'd like to see a new engine builder that can handle the volume you guys send them and provide faster turn around time with more consistant quality of repairs.

One thing I am fast learning is that you cannot get a machine shop/motor builder that is any good that will hit a date he tells you no matter what you pay him.

We're trying, to the point we're using two different places right now to try and cover the load.

Mike

have the part (#14447AA090) in stock for the unlucky 05 owners =D

Hit up LIC, they offer it as a service and they do good work at a fair price.

this is true with basically any machine shop in any industry. Late is normal.

On time is early...you pay extra for that.

You guys should provide a 6 hour engine swap special for the GC's... Like those guys on the east coast. Yeah...

Back in April at Subydude's Thunderhill event, I talked to Mike about a possible oil cooler kit (similar to what Mike put together while at Gruppe-S).

Starting to work on that project now and I was wondering if you guys are gonna put a kit together any time soon? or maybe recommendations on one?

Edit: I just saw the Greddy oil kit (with thermostat). It looks like a nice one.

Thanks alot!

~Patrick

dood, you guys should market that catchcan you were showing me!

We are working on the oil cooler right now actually. We have found a good source for fittings (going to be AN fittings to prevent any problems) and will be releasing something soon.

Thanks for the interest.

dood, you guys should market that catchcan you were showing me!

We do offer that to anyone who wants to shell out the cash for it as it is an expensive air-oil seperator.

Cool good to know.
If you need an '05 STi for testing, I'll test & buy one of the first few kits. :)
