Active Member
Hi all, thought i would start a thread purely on my new little buisness venture. Im not trading just yet, but the intention is to become active in the next few weeks and officially offer my services. At that point i will look to become a trader with Admin 
So what and who is RTS Motorsport Services. Well, my names Kevin Ratcliffe and im the Managing Director of my transport company RTS. Ive been involved in transport for 10 years, but prior to this I Graduated with a Degree in mechanical engineering. From the age of 18, of competed in motorsport at various levels. From trackdays to club sprints, MSA Sprints/Hill Climbs to Time Attack. Ive had great fun competing, and hope for it to continue! But one point that has always been the sticky point in my involvement is the cost involved and in some cases, being taken advantage of by unscrupilous traders with inflated bills and 'fabricated' issues which carried more expense!!
Well, my aim with RTS Motorsport Services is to try and provide services which prevent enthusiasts and competitors alike, from having to foot bills and expenses which could be avoided. Provide preventative measures to identify and hopefully avoid unwanted failures & damage with modest outlay so you hard earned can be spent on an extra tank of fuel rather than a recovery truck home.
At this point, nothing is set in stone, but what ive listed should hopefully give you insight into the service im aiming to provide.
TRANSPORT OF VEHICLE
As mentioned in a previous thread, im looking into providing a service where we can collect your car, and deliver it to wherever you wish. Whether it be your tuner of choice, its new owner or a trackday/event your involved in. The latter giving you piece of mind that should you suffer a failure, your at least getting home!! We would also look to provide you with access to essential tools throughout the day incase of any tweeks or repairs that can be carried out.
CAR INSPECTION
This pretty much speaks for itself. The inspection will come in one simple form....comprehensive. Its aim, purely to identify any issuse or potential issues before your event in order to give you time to rectify. Any issues found, would be outlined in a detailed report. I will NOT however be offering any repair services unless they are simple issues which can be rectified without need for specialist equipment or parts other than brakepads or discs.
CAR PREPERATION
This would be the same preperations i carry out on my own cars. I would look at possibly a 2 tier level here. Basic & Extensive. Basic incorporating an Oil & Filter change, Air Filter where applicable, Coolant top up and caliper clean to prevent sticking pads. Extensive Would be Oil & Filter Change, Air Filter, Bleed Brakes, Caliper Clean, Caliper Pin Re-Grease, Coolant Flush, Plug Gaps adjusted where required or replaced.
TRACKDAY/MOTORSPORT PRODUCTS
A few items which may of be interest to you guys. From Suits to Helmets & Gloves. Rollcages, Seats, Harnesses, Steering Wheels, Boss's, Fire Extinguishers etc
If you have any suggestions of feedback, please feel free to post it. Im here to listen to what YOU want and not what i think you want.
