'Business' Name; Now Chosen :D

[TU-Tuning]

Need help from y'all if you could. :drink:

Looking into offering a mechanical service to students at the Uni I attend this year; Servicing, repairs or replacement concerning all areas of cars except wiring. I plan to offer services to fellow broke students at decent prices whilst still doing the job properly. Will be working with a mate on bigger jobs whos a qualified spanner monkey

What I need from you guyz is help with the name for the little outfit, as Im drawing up posters now ready to post around the Campuses when I get back to Uni, and need a catchy title to get people interested.

Main ideas;
- Cheap, but high quality workmanship aimed at student runarounds
- Ideally catchy
- But at the same time sounding proffesional and not cheesy or dodgy in any way
- Will partly be a mobile mechanic, this could be incorporated?

Cheers for any input :panic:

Ben's Mobile Mechanic's sounds cheesy.

What about using your surname?

[flynnsvtr]

Monkey Wrench

"I just wanna be your monkey wrench"

Every student likes the foo fighters lol

[MarkyG]

A professional name will also get people interested. Lets them know you're serious about the work you get from it.

Ben's Mobile Mechanic's sounds cheesy.

What about using your surname?

i didnt think it was cheesy.

Just my opinion mate, I personally wouldn't let anyone touch my car with that name.

Have you lookd in to personal liability insurance?
Just incase anything goes wrong and u damage a car?

[Luke]

Public Liability is about £50 for a year, that's what I pay.

Insured to £1,000,000.00.

Maybe try get the student bit in there.. I don't think it needs to be too professional sounding when it comes to students.. just cheap with extra emphasis on cheap! More about advertising in the right places you need to be thinking about I imagine.

I trade as CableTieMotorsport which most people tend to remember lol

Cheers guys, yeah I will be looking into liability insurance as long as I get the first few customers rolling in to make it worthwhile, already do a fair bit of work to cars and never had any issues so far but if it goes to plan Ill deffo buy it.

Baker, cheers for the idea but it doesnt quite ring a bell for me? Same with yours Matt although again I appreciate it

Student Auto....

[TU-Tuning]

Hmm, Ill add it to the list mate, cheers :y:

[Tony]

I like 'Monkey Wrench - Student Mechanics'.

[Mr_X]

auto-repair

[0rang3peel]

I would actually go for something a bit funny like 'monkey wrench' its more appealing to students... also get the word around and offer a mobile service. should be grands

[chinkostu]

Monkey wrench sounds good

tbh if its only a student thing you'll get more interest with a silly easy to remember name. middle aged folks won't remember it ;)

[potatopete]

"Bodget and Scarper"

[Bean]

"NEBUSAR"

random name i know lol but its ben backwards and you can guess the rest lol

{ben's university servicing and repairs}

then add some catchy stuff like all partyed out bla bla no money? well thanks to nebusar you can have the good quality work you need for that affordable price etcetc

you may not like it just a little cotribution :)

[TU-Tuning]

Cheers for all the input, really appreciate it.

Went for 'Spanner Monkeys' in the end, as a base idea anyway, see how my mate likes it tomorrow morning. May even do a little bit of research at Uni see what people think of the name, for one thing it will all look good in my application for a work placement next year on my Business Studies Degree lol.

Anyhoo, spent the last 2 hours drawing this up. Opinions folks?

Any feelings on the name or the poster, good or bad, please tell.

Cheers :drink:

[SteveWC]

Its good, and your on the right tracks about advertising yourself mate, im planning on starting my own business and the advert basically appeals to people seeking informal friendly cheap advice, and then the little ethos part about why chose you etc.

but your advert isnt quite professional enough, some tweeking i think you could make it alot better and youll be onto a winner

[saxowebby]

spanner monkeys sounds cheesy to me, anyone who was named monkey personally i wouldent touch.

LOL:

1. spanner monkey,
A largely useless individual whose only career prospects are to work in maintainence departments painting walls and replacing light-bulbs. May have questionable habits such as an excess love of porn, language that would make a soldier blush and a equally useless son.

"Why can't one of those spanner monkeys come up here to fix the lights?"


Surely not.....!:clapping:

[666]

bodge it and leg it motor repairs?

[Tony]

Not keen on the poster, is it a draft though?

[Saamuell]
