I just read the article in Mini2 about Outmotoring and thought I would give a shout out to the whole Outmotoring crew. We are very lucky to have such a great business not only in our area, but involved with our group.

I am new to the whole moding of cars, but I have been mountain biking for most of my 30+ years on this planet. One thing I learned early is that most bike shops are a real pain in the ****. The people who work there think they are better than you they look down on your equipment and will never accept blame if they mess something up.

Finding a good bike shop is paramount to enjoying cycling. Moding cars for me is the same way, I want a person who respects me and my car (even if is not an S) and is willing to answer my questions even if I should know the answer. Another thing that is a must is the people must actually participate in the sport/moding.

About ten years ago I heard about a bike shop in a little town in PA that kept getting these rave reviews. I ended up calling them and asked about test riding some bikes so I could make an informed decision. Most bike shops laugh at you when you ask to take a bike out on an actuall trail, they do not want their showroom dirty from actually riding, and I was told to stop by any day and they would get a bunch of different bikes ready for me. The day I stoped in they had a few customers, but one of the owners took me aside and took some measurements. A few minutes later he brought me a bike and sent me on my way to a local trail, I came back he had another bike ready for me, this went on all day I ended up taking a few out a couple of times and later I bought a bike from them. Ever since if I need a part or if I have a question I email or call them and they answer the question honestly, even if it means they do not make a sale.

Aaron has treated me the same way, he is always willing to answer questions and show mods he has done to his car or that other people have done. It is also nice to know that he loves Minis more than most of us.

OK lovefest over back to work everybody!

 

I agree 100%.
Not about bikes, but about our good friends at Outmotoring.

We are very lucky to have him.

 

OK it's my turn..."should we get Rigid and Aaron a room for the next Mini-Breakfast"

 

What?! People still care about giving customers the time of day? What's with that?

A local dry cleaner ad claims people send their stuff from out of state. Another ad states "it's not crowded along the extra mile." Business that treats you well deserves your hard earned money.

 

As long as the room is filled with Mini stuff I am cool with that

 

You're such a *****
