In this episode of Cars For A Living our featured guest is my good friend Danny Giustino, the owner of
Muscle Express,
a restoration and parts shop in Jupiter, FL. Danny has been restoring
cars, selling cars, and selling parts successfully for over 20 years
now, and he started his business with nothing more than the desire to
enjoy his hobby and a TON of knowledge about GM muscle cars. He and his
shop have a well earned reputation of performing original nut-and-bolt
restorations as well as the ability to source and find original
hard-to-find parts. They now do custom muscle car builds as well.
During our interview Danny discussed how he got his shop up and
running originally, how he gets new business in the door, how he
advertises (and what scares him about it), and how he manages employees.
We also touched on the things that he wished he could have done
differently, and combined all together I think it made a fantastic
interview. For those of you looking to follow a similar path this
discussion should be very helpful!
