      New business, need some help.

      Hey guys and gals. I am getting ready to start a new service/repair shop. I am specializing in BMW, Audi, and VW. Coming up with a name that is unique is a pain in the arse. I don't want my name in it because I think that is a little boring. I have a few but I don't think I am thinking outside of the box enough.

      There are tons of xx autoworks, xx motorworks, of course with different spellings, so I don't think I want to go that route.
      Here are a few of what I thought of so far. Love em, hate em, change em, tell me what you think.



      -German Motorcar service
      -B.A.V. Autosport
      -EuroGuys
      -XclusiveAuto
      -EuroGarage
      -EuroZone
      -The Supercool Car Garage

      If any of you come up with anything, throw it out there. Any help would be greatly appreciated. So what do you have?

      Thanks,
      Mark

      I like the EuroGuys, sounds like something that would be on tv. The German Motorcar Service has a very official sounding ring to it. Maybe "Das Garage"

      Another vote for Euroguys. Short but very memorable.

      Use the capitals as the large name on the sign or business card, the smaller lettering underneath it explains the business.....

      I like Euroguys sounds catchy. Once you get this business going would you like to offer AMSOIL to your customers? They have 3 European oils with low, mid and high SAPS levels.

      I think if you had a name like "Supercool Car Garage," you'd have people in Camaros showing up all day, and would be frustrated with the lack of opportunity to install Bosch parts. I vote for your first listed idea--you definitely want to clearly suggest your specialty (the word "service" doesn't hurt either, since people want it on multiple levels, especially in avoidance of dealerships). Sometimes, your name is as close to a resume as you can get...

      Good luck! I'm trying to think up a name for my new business and it's fricken hard to come up with something cool to say, "That's it!"
      German Motorcar Service is cool.

      How about Der Cars, Dubs and Stuff, or German Haus?

      Thanks for all the feedback. I am leaning to EuroGuys.

      Mark,

      Before you settle on EuroGuys...Google the name and see what the search returns. My 2 cents...

      "Europa Autowerks" or "Europa Autowerks Technik"

      Europa as in Europe/European Union, Autowerks is German for"car plant", and Technik is Czech for "technologist/technician". Has that lost-in-translation vibe you get with Japanese performance parts companies.
