Shop progress!

For his audience, simple is better, it's a small town vibe, play off the Texas/US pride sort of mentality the town has. It's a garage, plain and simple, act like one, and cut out trying to be fancy.

Matt, normally I'd agree, but it's pretty common in automotive to have that type of card. I'm rarely in a business that doesn't have some sort of car on their business card.

As someone who deals with businesses and artwork/cards/professionalism... you're business card design is exactly what I would expect from a shop run by a bunch of kids. Not to mention seeing an old BMW and Lincoln doesn't exactly fill me with thoughts of quality and professionalism.

Oh it's common, but that's because printing and marketing companies have been convincing people that tacky is professional.

It's Golinda, TX for fuck's sake!!

I agree with this, except for the misuse of "you're".

lmao! And yeah, get the fucking pool table out of there! And you're out in the sticks. I think you'd have a better response with a couple of 2500 series pickups than a... 7 Series BMW...

Don, you and I need to start a business, we have the business cards down. Now for a business

Ultimately it's your business and you're going to do what you want. However, let me tell you this: large businesses pay a lot of money to hear what consumers have to say. These guys are giving you free priceless information.

If someone handed me a business card with a tacky picture of two 10+ year old cars, I doubt I'd even show up to that shop. If by some miracle I did, and I saw a pool table in the bay (ESPECIALLY if it was being used as a work bench???) I'd turn around and leave.

If you're looking to have your ultimate redneck hangout spot you're well on your way. If you're looking to have a business that people take seriously, I'd take some of the advice given here.

Sell that table and use the money to buy a real work bench. Get your cars out of the bay. Get rid of that picture on the business card and go with something simple and professional.

I had to make a revision. I realized how uncouth it is to NOT let your new-to-you customers know who you are.
