Good Service 1st
About
Us
The GoodService1st DIY Garage will impact the world by creating innovative community garages equipped
with State-of-the-Art (SOA) tools (3D Printer, Dyno, EMC Tuner), equipment (Lift, Tire Machine), resources (workshops, training, etc.), and support (Technician & Certified Mechanic). GoodService1st will become the ‘Go-To-Spot’ for the growing +19% Per Year Shade-Tree and DIY-Mechanics and the catalyst to unlock a passion in the youth for improving their mechanical skills by working with their hands, while providing a sense of accomplishment for our customers (young, old, male, female) who dare to repair, optimize, or customize their vehicle(s) at GoodService1st.
History
GoodService1st was formed August 13 , 2020 primarily to support the Shade-Tree/DIY-Mechanic and hot-
rod subculture. After further research, our findings imply that this concept would result in substantial cost- savings, e.g. 28% - 70%for individuals who own newer model cars (6yrs - 10yrs old) which are typically out of warranty and can’t afford to get their vehicles repaired at the dealer. In addition, we found that Motorcycle & ATV owners would also benefit from our tools, lifts and services. Therefore we researched over 50 DIY garages around the nation and developed packages to fit the needs of our customers.
Mission
Uplift the communities we serve through programs, initiatives, and services that provide personal and economic empowerment, while promoting a standard of GoodService.
Founders & Advisory Board
GoodService1st is looking to build a long-term relationship with our clients, as we expect to serve Alabama families for generations. One of our great attributes is our team's diverse skillset. Our team is a melting pot of professional expertise spanning a plethora of industries, and have achieved successes in Manufacturing, Service, Automotive, Real Estate, and Technology, industries just to name a few. This will enable us to build the right networks and partnerships, navigate through the city’s operating procedures and resources, while remaining compliant to any regulations.
