help with a name for a business?

relynutz

my husband is going to open up his own garage.. he is a mechanic.
we are struggling to come up with some kind of catchy name for it?? any ideas?

our family initials are

j... hubby
k me
s .....daughter
j .... son
n..... son

we did think about JELY ( 1st initial and surname together)

but we have no idea really.... any ideas for be appreciated.

(keep thinking it will just come to us when we least expect it but not so far

not sure that JELY really conveys any image of a garage does it?

where is he based city centre, village, any specialisms MOT testing, general mechanics.

if your in a busy location, might be best to avoid 'A. Mechanic & Sons' type names and go for something which makes you sound like you are part of a bigger chain - better for customer confidence.

you sound like you want something modern!

What is your surname?

Where do you live? as that may feature into a name for the business... or rhyme with the business name etc

All depends on your target market, if you are a specialist then could be worth focusing on this aspect otherwise like others have said you could use location. If you are well known in your area and have a good reputation then I would definately suggest using it as your trading name.

Few ideas not taking above into consideration:
-JK Autocare
-J Ely Carcare (presume surname is ELY)(or ECC)
-Vehicle Repair Services (or VRS)
-Autofix

or any variations.
Certain words can say certain things, a name is very important especially as a new business as this is a first impression.

Could use your name.

RELY AUTO SERVICES

RELY ON CARCARE

Etc

Sounds reliable to me!!!!

If the garage will be anything like the place I used to take my car, perhaps you could try 'Rip-off car repairs'.

Seriously, how about:

"J'll 'fix it' auto centre" (perhaps you could also give each of the first 100 customers a "J'll fix it" medal which gives them 20% off their next garage bill).

Edit: If you use any of the names in this thread - will the winner also get some money off their car repairs if they live near you?!?

later on Mr.Still joined them.
