:idea: thought about it for a while and came up with a bunch of names. these were my favorites.
Advanced Autosport
Speed Solutions
Rightaway Racing
The St.Paul Speedshop
what do you think?
|
They are cool but Advanced autowhatever sounds too much like advanced autoparts.... I don't know if you have thoses but they are a parts store like pep boys all over the place down here. The others are kinda hard to rember other than st. pauls speed shop.
I also like PHP it sounds great! I haven't voted because I just can't make up my mind. I like them all in a certain ways but also disslike them all is different ways.

I still think innovative would be an awesome adjective to use...
Innovative Autotrends
Innovative Automotive Technologies
Innovative Automotive Concepts
Innovative Motorsports
Automotive Innovations
Innovative Drive & Design
Innovative shows creativity, leadership, and along with automotive or motorsports shows what you are working with...
Just my .02, but I have yet to vote as well...

I agree you guys all came up with some really kick ass names. But thats the whole problem. Do a qucik search and someone has dam near everything. Even if it was an old name for a failed business we want to be 1 of a kind with no ties to another shops name.
I love Quick Precision more and more. Quick and Precise! What more do you want for in work being done for you? You want it done in a timely manner to get people in and out the door and you want it done right the first time. That's the whole game plan and if any business has problems in those 2 fields they will not stay in business.

Yeah Automotive Innovations does sound a lot like it, but some of the others may have worked well...

Quick precision just sounds to familiar. I want to say that I have heard of it somewhere but I just don't know where...

Precision Muffler and Precision Turbo & Engine (PTE) are the only things I have heard of close to that.
Twisted Air, what is that about? I don't correlate that name with cars. Good name for a company that makes props for airplanes though. Quick Precision gets the point across, but it isn't very catchy. JAM is pretty catchy, but doesn't convey a message.
Personally I think catchy should be the main thing. You want it to jump out at people. Just pretend you are looking throught the phone book. Would you take your car to Quick Precision or Horsepower Haven? Hehe, also think of the initials QP, that stands for something else too. That may be a good thing though, the initials are already used.

Twisted air refers to what happens as air goes through a spinning tubo. It gets twisted.

Tenacious speed
Tenacious Performance

Modified Motion
Motion Mechanics
Stemming off of your previous choices:
Precision Enhancement
I'm with Jet in the fact that Twisted air and quick precision alone do not make me think of cars...If you added performance or automotive or something then it would click...

What happened to this being a vote on the final choices and not tossing out another 44 suggestions?

I don't mind that more suggestions are being tossed out. Maybe as a result a perfect name will come out of it. The vote is still progressing and so far the vote is going along with the partners involved preference. Nothing is of course final till tomorrow at 10. We may just surprise you all and go with something nobody has heard of yet, never know. It is all input at this point. Keep it all coming and if you havn't voted, do that as well. The name is important for sure, but it isn't the determining factor in a business being successful or not obviously. We want a name that will be catchy and descriptive, but the business will grow because of the work we do and the reputation we develop by that work. A cool name just helps.
