End of an Era for KevinP73
 
As of Nov.1 2011 I am NO longer associated/employed/or a partner in Automotive Innovations and Restoration LLC. also known as A.I.R. LLC. . After 20 years of owning and operating the business I started, the time has come to let go. Not for reasons I like but for reasons beyond my means and ability to control.
Nuff said,
Kevin P.

Good luck in whatever the future holds.

Jim Richards 12-05-2011 12:43 PM

Sorry to hear that, Kevin. Best wishes to you.

pwd72s 12-05-2011 01:05 PM

Damn! Hope you salvaged the Corvairs...

kaisen 12-05-2011 01:11 PM

Good luck in the NEXT chapter. You'll find your way to something great

The only thing that changes is how I answer the phone and endorse the checks. I'm still at my present location and my phone number remains the same. I suspect that the biggest change will be with A.I.R. as it goes forward without me.

You going to start selling stripper poles out of the shop now?

Good luck!

Condolences and/or congrats, whichever is most appropriate. Sounds like maybe a little of each.

Sounds like a similar situation as my guy in NY.

It was the best turn of events for him and business in general.

Cheers,
Scott

Hope all goes well with you as you move forward.

Kevin, good luck as you move forward. You are a solid character, and good things will come, David

The problem usually starts when you become a partner/employee of a company that was at one time solely yours. You fall into that category?

azasadny 12-05-2011 03:21 PM

Best wishes to you, Kevin. A new chapter starts...

tevake 12-05-2011 03:31 PM

So what is in a name anyway? Especially in an independent car repair shop its all about the people working there and quality of the service. I bet most of your regulars won't even notice the change. Or be bothered about it if they do notice.

All the best to you going forward.

Cheers Richard

Wow! :eek:

Flieger 12-05-2011 07:13 PM

So now all those Excellence magazine articles will need to be edited.

Flieger 12-05-2011 07:20 PM

Is this still your shop and contact info, then? It is just that you are no longer AIR now?

God speed! I wish the best for your next endeavor.

slodave 12-05-2011 07:33 PM

Max, read post #6. It's spelled out.

KevinP73 12-05-2011 07:41 PM

The phone and the address remain the same. The web site belongs to the current owner of the company, what he does with it is up to him.
I haven't decided yet but being as I use KevinP73 on all the boards I participate on I'll probably use that as the new company name. I already own the domain KevinP73dot com but use it for my kayak accessories sales. I'll have to fine tune that before long so I can have a web presence again.
