I've been a professional in a business now for 12 years. I'm only 31, but work with my parents in our business.
I actually worked for Van & Truck world in Ottawa for a year too.
I was into car audio a lot when I was younger, and still have a small passion for it.
through my ventures to many shops I have experienced one thing.
Customer Service, Great, good, bad and very very bad.
In my line of business (funeral service), customer service and care is #1.
In many shops, the feel is, if you don't have the cash, don't waste my time.
People have questions, concerns, and quite frequently not a clue.
Customer service #1: Many many shops I have visited over the years lacked
that very component.
Having a "stereo" guy, "engine/turbo" guy ect. will not make you a successful
shop. Yes, having the knowledge about your products is key, but there are
many things, little things, that make a customer feel, when they make a
large purchase, especially car audio, feel good about the purchase.
Good, great, and beyond expectations customer service is where a business
will succeed.
Take this: In Ontario, the Funeral Act states that we must offer our services
to whom ever requets them, regardless of race, religion or otherwise, or the
ABILITY TO PAY!
Imagine that, someone walks into my funeral home, poor, pennyless and their
mother just died. I HAVE TO provide my basic services to them. Now, we
are not out of pocket. The goverment has a grant, not very much to provide
"minimal services". But, mostly all the time, we give the "family" more than
what is covered by the payment. But many funeral homes offered this
service before the Act came into effect.
One note though: You must have customers to have a business, but getting
those customers in the key, and keeping them YOUR customers is the major
key.
anyways, take it with a grain of salt. The worst thing that a customer can
feel is used, or taken advantage of, and sorry guys, but the audio industry
has done that a lot unfortunalty.
sorry for the rant.

Dan still hasn't called you? I gave him your number a couple months ago. I will call him tonight and ask him to call again. He has it and i should have taken it from him, but i thought you were closer to him in mississauga.He's busy at a new shop but i will tell him to call again, maybe he lost the number, i dunno. Dan is a good guy, sorry for the remote but it is there.I'll see if i can just grab it from him then you can meet me anytime, but in t-dot
edit: I'll ask Dan if i can just give you his number, than you can call him and make the arrangements. I don't like giving out peoples numbers without their permission

Please do not use customer service and Phantom audio in the same sentence. They're only out to make money. They wanted to charge me $500 just for for a daily pounder when i got into this scene. It costed me $100 plus food for the day to hit 150+
. Need i say more
