    Problem with the Phoenix Tuning name... need suggestions

    Well I came up with the name Phoenix Tuning because of the idea that the word Phoenix represents and how that relates to what happens to the cars when they come here. Trouble is, people read "Phoenix" and automatically assume that the shop is in Arizona and they don't go any further. And I'm always getting emails from people in Phoenix asking where the shop is. :bricks1:

    So, I'm thinking I need a different name. I was thinking of "Clandestine Tuning" but my wife says that I shouldn't use it because "Clandestine" is too hard for people to say/remember.

    Thoughts and suggestions?

    Hmm. I kinda like Phoenix Tuning - but I'll think about it and see if I come up with anything.

    You must be getting quite the reputation if you have people from Arizona wondering where you are.. ;)

    leave the name the same.
    just add the state/region somewhere on the homepage in BIG letters for the people that can't read the first sentence.

    There's an Orange County in FL too. :p

    Doc: Keep the Phoenix name, unless you really want something else - you know what they say about multiple choice tests, right? Pick your first instinctive answer..you picked a name already, so I'd go with it. $0.02 :)

    i'm throwing this up because i support the phoenix tuning name.

    it is worth the extra effort to have a cool name like that. just keep correcting everyone and make it known where the shop is located.

    Phoenix Tuning is the shit, don't change the name. Just add a tag line at the bottom of the logo that says 'The bird not the city'
