The bigger you get the bigger the prices the greater the hassle.
One way to put it.... I just got a little shed on the out skirts of Leicester.............. a bit like Noble.
I have no intentions to expand R-Tech beyone the end of my nose. All the turnover, gross, net profits, margins, marketing, sales BS, competition and political BS from running a franchise would take my eye of what I enjoy, and thats seeing customers drive away with a huge grin from something the R-Tech team have done.
I have had many offers of major £££ input into R-tech to take the "NAME" worldwide and setup a dealer network. I could sit on a laptop all day just writing generic "safe" codes and emailing them to dealers to flash to customers car, maybe earn £1000 per day by selling 10 maps????? My worry would be does the dealer have the passion like me and is he going to fully inspect the car and make sure its safe to map?
If I was a true buisness man then I would to do it and be rich and have anAudi RS6 at 800bhp..lol but I need to remember what I am, and thats a grease monkey tuner who smells of petrol fumes and goes home every night with a dirty face with a smile knowing everyone is happy.
R-Tech prices are low as its just me Ben and Jim in a small £500 per month shed with a 25 year old Bosch dyno, we all take an average wage so dont need to charge silly money for tuning or aftercare.
My drive is passion not profit and my award is from reading customers reviews on the forums and facebook pages. I could happy earn no money one day but come home and read a glowng customer reveiw and be happy as Larry on acid.

PS
Even non R-Tech customers make me grin with there comments..... Cheers Red Robin
