Trading names.......Company caption thread

Lates · 2nd January 2007, 21:35

Some of you guys may know Lates600 is undergoing some structural changes to incorporate a possible merger with another techy who is running his own workshop and moving to different premises. Now this is early days but the team size will increase from me,pete and tom tom to 4 technicians and Tom Tom the apprentice. Well 3 techies working and me keeping me overalls clean ( method in the madness an all that )

This has been pencilled out to a degree although suitable alternate premises are a little thin on the ground right now for the volume of cars coming through.Thanks Coventry City council - NOT, private sector seems to be the only way to go.

This will come to the conclusion of trading names.I think it may be a little naughty still using the trade name Lates600 although the key staff will still be there.I will aim to keep the trade name as you guys know us by now so I am on the look out for a new name just in case

No need to worry gents the core bsuiness will still be MGR !

My own suggestions would be

Ultimate MGR servicing and repairs
Coventry MGR servicing and repairs

Could turn this into a company caption thread if needed.BUT remember the trade name and domain name must be available

Fire away gents....

Welly's is the best so far - including yours

All that I can think off is Rover and Done but your original name whilst telling nothing about the business, is at least short and memorable and I think that is the way you should be heading.

Rover and Done sounds a bit to much like done over to me

Lates whats the other guys company name maybe a play with words betweeen the two ?

I like Midlands Garage Repairs and Servicing = MGR's

I've had a quick search and the ones below are possibly available

The Rumblestrip (bit off the wall, which is why I like it meself)

Auntie's (Imagination has taken a nose-dive here but it's succinct enough)

MGR Coventry is also available would you believe!

You could have a play on all sorts of the word Rover or initials MGR. The Rover Shack, Inspector Rover (when you say it, it's faintly saucy I know) and their like spring to mind.

Inspector rover.

That could lead to many many people phoning up and asking "What are you inspecting? And over what, exactly?!"

My favourite one so far has to be MGR's. Thats a good one however would it be allowed? Im only asking because of MG Rover Group etc.... all the legal issues.
