Today we’d like to introduce you to Frank Lee.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Frank. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
Started by fixing my own motorcycles over 20 yrs ago because I couldn’t afford a mechanic, but I wanted to race!
Many years later when I could afford a performance car, I was shocked at the price to maintain/repair them. So I started buying tools and equipment to do it myself. I realized pretty quickly I needed to make it a business to get the tax write off. Then people started to actually pay me to fix their cars. It got out of hand pretty quickly after that.
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
It was far from smooth. Murphy’s Law came into play, immediately.
Murphy has been a not-so-silent partner every step of the way! Absolutely NOTHING has gone according to plan.
The automotive industry is a very chaotic environment. Because of the continual chaos, we are continually adapting to changes in regulations, timelines, inventory, and personnel, you name it! My job is to bring sanity and order to deliver products and services to my customers in a promised timeline at a profit.
Alright – so let’s talk business. Tell us about Ëuroworld Motorsports – what should we know?
Ëuroworld Motorsports enhances your automotive experience. We offer a wide variety of products and services that allow us to personalize the experience to the customer. We do everything from simple vinyl wraps, to building a complete race car, and everything in between.
What sets us apart from everyone else is carbon fiber. We are the first certified (by Lamborghini) carbon fiber automotive shop in Texas. We are certified for both repair and manufacturing for both cosmetic and structural items.
We sponsor the Pirelli World Challenge and repair the carbon fiber for a number of participants in the series. You will see our rig in the paddock for the 2018 season!
Any shoutouts? Who else deserves credit in this story – who has played a meaningful role?
That list is very long, indeed and would fill the article and still need more space! First is our customers who took a chance with us in the beginning. You don’t really have a business without them! Secondly, my team who has been through some pretty harsh times with me and stayed. They truly believe in my vision.
My friends who tried really hard to talk me out of starting my own shop, but ultimately were there to provide technical guidance when I was in over my head! Finally, my wife. She has been patient through quite a bit. Both encouraging and challenging, she has been my anchor when I was lost.
