Choosing a shop name

Remember, the most important thing with choosing a name is brand recognition. It has to stick in the customers minds and resonate. It isn't about what you like, it's about what the customers like.

We spend millions in the pharmaceutical industry vetting names to get the best consumer response.

The name speaks to what the customer can expect from your business and product as well as have the ability to be easily recalled and not confused with other names.

"Busted knuckle garage" sounds like a bunch of amateurs muscling through routine mechanical work where as "Torque Brothers Speed Shop" sounds like a family run high performance shop.

I totally agree, there's a lot to a name... that's why I'm asking for extra input! More brains usually work better than one... aspecially if it's mine! hahaha
We need a name and a logo... cuz every shop needs t-shirts and hoodies!

Funny you mention those...
Torque Brothers Rod and Custom was on our list... domain names were all open when I checked last week... and I haven't found any copyrights yet? I'm probably not looking in the right places.
The search continues :)
