R/T SpeedShop addition has begun!!!! - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

Vince@R/TTuning · 02-01-2012, 05:01 PM

So we been doing small stuff over the last year to get our Retail side of R/T Tuning Speedshop up and running. We have installed a Parts window from the service side of R/T to the New Speedshop Retail side to service the techs. Essentially we are trying to set up R/T like many other dealerships you have probably been too. There will be a separate service side that will handle all the drop offs and pick ups for the customers we are providing service work too.

The R/T SpeedShop side will consist of a well stocked parts area that a customer can come in and inquire about parts and accessories. What this will do is enable us to give better customer service and be able to spend more time with customers by separating the parts from the service. We will be employing s parts only employee that will be specific to the parts area as well as expanding our hours. This will be beneficial to our customers in many ways. How many of ya guys needed a simple 3 inch 2 bolt gasket and the parts store was like "what??" We will be stocking couplers, clamps, fittings and a lot of common parts you always seem to need when installing something, and of course being attached to R/T Tuning you will be getting expert technical advise to come with those parts!! We are also working on the specifics of having a parts delivery vehicle to add as another service.

Also we will be installing a larger waiting area with a lounge that will have many things to keep ya occupied, or if ya need to get some work done we will have a work station area set up with WIFI and printer hook ups. We hope to make R/T Tuning your one stop shop for all your needs!!! We are aiming for a 1st of spring opening with a Grand Opening to follow in the next few weeks following!!!

Congrats!!! Nice to see a business expanding in an economy like this. You sir are doing something right.

01bb6er · 02-01-2012, 07:36 PM

Wow, nice additions Vince. You do realize by adding a lounge with wifi, your going to have to start kicking people out that don't want to go home and only hang at the shop lol

Vince@R/TTuning · 02-01-2012, 08:48 PM

^^^ thats ok...Really one of the main reasons we are building a retail side with a lounge, hang out, ask questions, make sure you got all the info ya need to get the part ya want

I'm gonna have to stop and check your shop out when I get the G back together.

2001teg · 02-09-2012, 01:41 PM

Damn, pretty soon R/T is going to do a take over and be the new Import DPS.

Erik@R/TTuning · 02-09-2012, 06:50 PM

VQpoweredZ · 02-10-2012, 09:30 PM

Can't wait to see how the new additions look. Everything seems to be coming along nicely. Keep up the great work guys.

Saw the improved front office area today. Looks very good so far!

Vince@R/TTuning · 02-14-2012, 09:37 PM

**Got Insulin?** · 02-14-2012, 09:50 PM

That is just flying together.

Erik@R/TTuning · 02-15-2012, 01:17 PM

More updates! We are really pushing to get this together for a spring grand opening. The drywall is up and the guys are priming and painting already.

This is the view from the Speed Locker garage door looking into the new area.

This is a look down the new back wall near the AWD dyno for any of you that have been in the shop before.

This is the main showroom and waiting room in the front of the RT Speed Shop.

This will be our new consultation room to go over jobs with customers.

And finally this is a view of the new parts inventory room.

We are getting really excited to see this come together.

Vince@R/TTuning · 02-15-2012, 03:05 PM
