C4AL #20 - Under The Hood with Danny Giustino from Muscle Express:

Lessons Learned from a 20 Year Veteran Restoration Shop Owner

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!
