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.

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.

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?

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 |

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

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.
