Default Do you want Dezod or an affiliation of Dezod in your area???

Just as the title states... We're considering expanding, for obvious reasons. We may market it as another addition company name, or something based off the Dezod name itself. That we're not sure of yet.

But one thing I do know is that myself and a business partner plan on opening a shop up somewhere, sometime soon. We're seeking out where we think we could do the best business in (for obvious reasons). The shop would be quite large, and offer a sales floor, garage w/dyno, and a race track. We'd be going all out with this setup. Is this a good idea for your area?

I plan on traveling around the country for the next few months seeking out the best opportunity. I definately like the climate in AZ, so it's a strong possibility.

What do you guys think?

Arizona NEEDS a good tuner shop. But not some big wig shop that doesnt give a crap about their customers( we have those) but one that has a more personal relationship with them.

Arizona is a great location for a good tuner shop , you want tuner culture we got it .

A race track you say???? count me in.

let me know if you come down to AZ, I would like to meet the man behind the 300hp beast

p.s.
you all have my boy zach down here already...

Trust me this will be one of the most personal setups you'll see lol. We have a lot of ideas for the customers. Things to do while they wait, promotions, the works.

I think it's a great idea! California is way too over-rated and Arizona would be a prime place to be. We have a lot of peeps out here looking for a specialy shop like yours. especially since you've got a 300 hp beast tC!Also I think it would be centrally located for several other states to come here instead of Cali to get custom work done. So keep in mind that Arizona (phoenix area) is still growing and everyone is moving here like crazy.But yeah open a shop here and it will be worth your time. Let us know when you come here and all of us in our region would probably like to meet you guys and show you around town.

I think AZ would still be the starting point of a larger shop. If it's really successful, I wouldn't be against opening a shop in a more centralized area as well.

But thanks guys. We'll definately keep all of you updated. Anyone else, feel free to comment on this matter in the mean time.

Las Vegas

Close enough for the Socal, AZ and Utah people to get to on a weekend.

PLUS we have ZERO "true" Tuner shops here for you to compete with.

as an added bonus ..... How 'bout them Business-friendly Nevada incorporation laws

What about the Philly/DC area? We have one of the largest tuner communities in the country and absolutely zero reputable shops.....

...Business would be prime here and I happen to be looking for a new job in the tuner world not related to selling Scions.

AZ is where it is at. Phoenix and Tucson have so many Tuner cars out here the potential for a Tuner Shop (especially a name like Dezod) is pretty good. Not many and if any reputable shops. I deal with Aggressive Motorsports in Tucson right now but if come on down to AZ I would go to Dezod in a heartbeat!
