  Bill FilleyAs the year draws to a close, I reflect on my activities and progress.It has been a busy year both personally and professionally.Some of my plans and goals were accomplished, some were changed, and others just got deleted.Being a shop owner is a continuous journey and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, but the track (for some reason) just keeps getting longer, so I never get to the end.Maybe there is a lesson to learn that to reach the end would mean the journey is over.Could the journey and raising the bar be synonymous?

  Bill FilleyRecently I was reminded of another project that I had volunteered to participate in.It started last November when I went to Las Vegas to attend the 2000 Congress of Automotive Repairs and Service (CARS) convention.
  
  On Wed., Nov. 1, as a prelude to CARS, I attended the first annual Forum on the Future of I/M and Safety Inspection.Since my shop is in Oregon, which is one of 29 states, that does not have a Safety Inspection program, I was very curious as to what I could learn at the forum.During the morning session a panel of industry experts presented information that only increased my desire to learn.

  After Market Business - A perfect mix of beauty and... - [Cached Version]

  Bill Filley, owner of Prairie Road Automotive in Oregon, says his shop sees very little import traffic but has been keeping an eye out in the area to see if it,s a market he can tap into. ,The bulk of what I,ve seen is pretty much domestic stuff for drag racers and street rods.I might get a few people a year for import-specific performance enhancements.,
  
  When the dynamic changes, Filley, who is also a member of the Automotive Service Association, says he,ll be ready for it. ,It would require additional training so our technicians know how to service and tune these vehicles properly., There is no argument that serious tuning requires special technical skills.
  
  Maybe it will be some time before the wave of import/sports compact enthusiasts make their way to Filley,s area in Oregon, but we got a good feeling they are coming.Considering sales for accessories, handling and suspension parts, and performance and racing products for compact performance vehicles topped $3 billion in 2003, it,s pretty clear the popularity is spreading.As Filley puts it, ,Any time you have a specialty market trend, it,s very good for industry business in general.,
