Feedback if you don't mind Oct 15, 2007
We are looking to expand to Dubai. Basically we are a high line car audio shop in the US. We cater to Hi Line Clientel such as Pro Athletes,Celebrities and also hi line automotive dealerships. The more we looked into our competetion here in the US is that most "Hi Line" shops really have no clue as to the cars they are working on. We implement audio systems in Lamborghini,Mercedes,BMW and Ferrari to name a few. I understand there are "hi Line" shops in Dubai but do they really stay on the leading edge of the technology out on the market? Is their work top notch and worth the expense? Are more of our type of shops needed in the region? We are not your typical car audio shop that slams cheap stereos in cars to make a quick buck, we care about our clients being happy with their purchase and want them to have years of enjoyment from their purchase. We don't stumble through installations and aren't "trying to do it right",,,we "Do it right",,,Thanks in advance of any input!

well i can tell you that so far i have not come across any skilled installer here. no point buying high end audio products for your car if its installed by morons.
so if you can bring in a high level of quality in your workmanship along with decent prices it im sure the business will be successful.

The market is not as barren here as people here make it seem. West Coast Customs just set up shop here, and QuarterMile has a new "audio" manager from USA who I've spoken to and he knows his stuff. The thing is, none of them are big on advertising, so few people know about their activities. However, they are still doing very well from whatever high-end customers they get.

Your first job would be to spread awareness after you start up here.

Good info GT,,,from what I hear and I may be mistaken but WCC is going to focus on "total cars",,,big ticket complete customizations only, not your headunit,speaker,amp and sub replacements. We cater to audiophile type of customers,people wanting custom fiberglass enclosurers,dash makeovers,oem integration and your lower line audio systems as well. Sounds like Quartermile is moving in the right direction, a shop is only as good as the knowledge of its employees... Thanks for the input on the advertising, this is the type of feedback we are looking for...
