ORIGIN AUTOMOTIVE LLC | Application Preview
Origin Automotive LLC is seeking government grant funding to establish a veteran-owned automotive repair shop. The owner plans to move operations from a home-based setup to a commercial location to generate increased revenue. The strategy includes selecting a high-traffic area for the shop to attract walk-in customers, coupled with advertising efforts on social media and Google Business listings to boost visibility and workflow. Once the shop is operational, the intention is to hire additional technicians to accommodate the anticipated growth.
The owner emphasizes their strong determination and commitment to excellence as reasons for funding approval. They believe that providing high-quality, honest service will build customer trust, which is essential for long-term success in the automotive industry.
The competitive landscape consists primarily of larger dealerships and franchise shops that benefit from their name recognition. However, the owner aims to differentiate Origin Automotive by establishing a reputation for integrity and honesty—qualities they feel are often lacking in the industry. With 16 years of experience in various automotive settings, the owner is dedicated to creating a business culture centered on respect and truthful dealings, setting them apart from competitors who may not prioritize similar values.

Self Identified Competition
TO BE HONEST THERES NOT 3 SPECIFIC IN THIS FIELD. DEALERSHIPS AND NAME BRAND FRANCHISES WILL BE MY TOP COMPETITORS AND THIS IS ONLY BECAUSE CONSUMERS FEEL COMFORT IN GOING TO A NAME BRAND THAT THEY HAVE HEARD ON RADIO OR SEEN ON TV. JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE BIG NAMES DOESNT MEAN THEY DO EXCELLENT WORK. MY GOAL IS TO EARN THE TRUST OF THAT TYPE OF CONSUMER. I AM UPFRONT AND HONEST. ALOT OF SHOPS WILL SAY THE SAME BUT TRUTH IS ALOT OF THESE SHOPS LIE TO CUSTOMERS AND RIP THEM OFF BADLY. IVE BEEN IN THIS INDUSTRY FOR 16 YEARS AND HAVE WORKED FOR SEVERAL DIFFERENT SHOPS AND ITS ALL THE SAME EVERY TIME. THEY ARE GENERATING PROFIT OFF A BOLD FACE LIE. IM TIRED OF THAT WORK STYLE SO IM DOING MY PART TO OPEN A SHOP WHERE BUSINESS IS BUILT ON HONESTY, INTEGRITY AND RESPECT.
