AAA automotive. that way it sounds proffessional and also it guarantees that you are first in the phone book, which is very important as new customers will always start ringing from the top of the page = more new customers.

How about 'Rare Bird Autoworks' and use a kiwi bird version of the ford superoo as your logo?

Think of using multiple names (4-5 words), then use the abbreviated letters to make the name.
A lot of Australian Businesses use the first letter of the words, to make the company name.

A business I know that works in the earthmoving industry, is called "CASACIR". It's real name means "Crush Any S%$t And Call It Rock".

There is also a company called "Piston Broke" and it's an automotive shop.

Like V3RSAC3 said.

My 2c
100% agree with you. made that mistake with my first one, makes it harder to resell/rebrand. hence the reason for rethinking about names.

Everything looks good with A1 infront of it.

A1 Wheel repair

The trouble with A1 stuff, is it gets lost in the phone book, and its actually hard to find as well. To me it looks like I am trying too hard to get my number at the top of the phone book. Its like calling your motel the AAA Aaron motel (stayed there, wasnt bad!). Appreciate the thought though, keep trying.

You're right - I, and probably other people, avoid places with dodgy names which are only intended to put them first in the listing... its kind of like those companies that deliberately fiddle google rankings to get up the top...

Using your childrens initials is pretty cool idea. Just don't call your next child (if you have another) something beginning with U.

DUMB

Your next business could have a dumb name. hehe.
