Starting point is 00:00:00 If you're in need of quality new tires and have been searching the internet for a good deal, look no further than your local Big O Tires. For a limited time, when you buy three tires, you'll get the fourth free on select set of tires. And because we know that tires can be an unexpected expense, take advantage of no credit needed financing made easy. They work with multiple lending partners, so the financing is tailored to you. Remember that when you buy three tires, you'll get the fourth free only at your locally owned big o tires the team you trust so in the industry you got roly you got automart pegue yeah you got richard millie in the luxury car space who
Starting point is 00:00:36 would you say are the top three very biased so this is my opinion i would definitely place lamborghini first wow so i would i would list lamborghini at one just because um drivability um and looks bro like lamborghini ferrari and then to place a third one in there you're probably gonna go to you know rolls royce or something just because of like the sheer like level of respect that you get driving one. Welcome to the Digital Social Hour. I'm your host, Sean Kelly. I'm here with my co-host, Wayne Lewis. What up, what up? And our guest today, Christian Beckerle. How's it going, bro? Mr. Dip, Autowork Mr. Dip Auto Works himself yes sir yep when I first moved here he robbed my uh my Tesla yeah bro that was that was cool yeah that was cool Christian's been in the
Starting point is 00:01:34 game for a long time bro it has been a while for those who don't know tell them about your story like your beginnings yeah yeah for sure so um basically always into cars right always had a passion for cars um and then real young really just kind of found like the car market and at the time there was a real popular product coming out uh plastidip it was like bro new revolutionary so i was just you know at my leisure messing around with it your friends cars you know just on my own personal stuff and uh it caught enough traction where i was like cars you know just on my own personal stuff and uh it caught enough traction where i was like man you know what like this would be really cool to just throw an ad in on craigslist and be able to do this like fresh out of high school like i mean
Starting point is 00:02:14 i'm literally talking about like the summer of graduation and uh bro it just it just took off like i don't want to say immediately because it definitely didn't but it immediately i had enough traction to like you know keep myself busy service there yeah yeah yeah neither for sure for sure and uh so it started off just you know little things dipping wheels and smoking out lights and stuff that kept me busy and happy bro it was it was really cool it was it was a blessing and then um it kind of shaped into something that i really didn't anticipate it, you know, taking the turns that it did. But, bro, it was revolutionary. Like it just kind of things all timeline wise fell into place because a lot of the car custom stuff was getting a facelift.
Starting point is 00:03:01 Like there was new products that were coming out. There was just really good timing um and bro i just worked out of the house for five years until late like 2018 and then um how was it working out of out of the house like how did you manage to because where you how how hard were you at that time so so so fresh out of high school so 20 2013 i had to been like 18 years old. 18 years old. 18. No college.
Starting point is 00:03:27 No college. And you created a, basically like a custom car shop out of his parents' crib. Yeah, yeah, for sure. It was right out of the driveway, bro. There was really, I remember when I very first started, I was even using like a newspaper to tape off cars, you know what I mean? House tape. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:44 So it was, it was cool, bro. And it was, you know, you definitely had to create a culture because not a lot of people, you know, felt comfortable just coming up to somebody's house and dropping their car off. So always been, you know, pretty good at, you know, socially relating to people and kind of, you know, finding a little niche there. So it kind of, it was really smooth bro i enjoyed it so the
Starting point is 00:04:06 first first five years at the house um counting kind of came out towards the end of why did they come out oh i mean you were there you see we would get some heavy traffic out there and um it's kind of the same story that you'll hear all the time like there's always somebody that's in the background just just you know plotting on your downfall can't wait to see you for sure you know you you fail so he actually built a uh a warehouse yeah yeah yeah in front of his crib now it wasn't raggedy it was like the real like the like the rv yeah really nice nice rv garage bro it was huge really and he built it in front of his house wait just on the street no it was like so it's i mean it was like it's a it's a real small cul-de-sac like all custom built home you know hoa stuff so it was like so it's i mean it was like it's a it's a real small
Starting point is 00:04:45 cul-de-sac like all custom built home hoa stuff so it was really easy for me to basically just take like the whole side yard lay some concrete put up a big shed and just wow just yeah yeah make it work it was cool dedication he really built a business off of it like yeah he was running it up that's crazy no it was cool yeah so did that and that definitely i think was like probably the nail in the coffin people really started to see like what the hell was going on so somebody um you know basically called the county and county came out and was like yo listen like you can't be operating business from home like we don't care if you own the house no h-way none of that stuff stuff applies. You can't do business from your house, right?
Starting point is 00:05:25 So kind of had like a crossroads moment, you know, because still pretty young. But it was really all that I'd ever done and spent my time on. And I enjoyed the hell out of it. Like, bro, I love the car stuff, love the culture. And I really was kind of like at a point where it was like, okay, am I going to, A, you know, dive a little bit deeper and like, you know, actually put my name down on a lease and, you know, hire some people and get a shop. And it just kind of seemed like the right thing to do. I remember like right before like having to make a decision.
Starting point is 00:05:57 I was getting fined every day by the county for not moving, right? And I'm still kind of sitting on the sidelines trying to make a decision. I'm looking at spots. And I remember taking a vacation. We went up to the mountains and just sat back and, like, actually truly, like, reflected by myself for a little bit and, like, you know, just thought on the situation, like, okay, if this is something you enjoy doing, right, and you can actually make some money from it, like, I mean,
Starting point is 00:06:21 this is literally what people spend their whole life, you know, chasing like this, this moment, you know, and that was kind of like a turning point for me where I was like, okay, I'm willing to, you know, invest more. I'm willing to, you know, turn it into something that it's not at the moment, you know, an official business and a bro was great. It was dope. It was, it was the greatest decision I could have ever made. I spent the next probably month like dialing in a good spot. Like we, you know, we signed a lease somewhere, started moving things over, bro. We pretty much
Starting point is 00:06:50 got up and operational, like within 24 hours of getting into a building, um, and, uh, hired on a couple of good friends and, and just, just worked bro. Like it just was, yeah, yeah. It was just a, it was just a slow slow growth but you know it was steady motion constantly headed forward for sure so nice yeah it was it was a journey for sure and why did you decide to stick with uh the stuff you're doing instead of going into car rentals man that's a good point um i i really never thought of the rental game i think that that kind of started to become really popular after the traction of where I was already headed. You know, like we're talking like early 2019,
Starting point is 00:07:31 you know, into the beginnings of 2020, really before like, I feel like, I mean, obviously car rentals and we worked with rental companies existed before, but I feel like rentals really kind of took off post covid um it just kind of changed that industry a little bit more um and and a lot of the a lot of the cars and a lot of the stuff um and this could have just totally been my scope of things like it was slept on like there was not really a lot of action in like you know obviously there was the car customization shops like you could go somewhere and go get a stereo put in or you could go somewhere and go get your tinted you know what i mean but there wasn't like a lot of like you know like full-blown custom shops in 2014 15 16 like that wasn't not
Starting point is 00:08:14 that wasn't the vaguest thing it wasn't yeah it definitely wasn't a vaguest thing it was it was um possibly a california thing because a lot of the culture car culture stuff always kind of comes over from there so it could have been that but i feel like the rental space really didn't have its like initial like footing until you know mid-covered and forward i could be wrong but my take on it what do you feel like some of the worst cars are when it comes to exotic what are some of the worst thingsotics? I got some opinions bro if you start with what's the top five bad exotics? anything McLaren is
Starting point is 00:08:51 just I mean they take top notch bro McLaren is number one McLaren is definitely number one think of like a an Instagram influencer that looks amazing online right everything is great bro and you get in it or you get there and it's just not what it what you thought the cars are janky clanky
Starting point is 00:09:13 buttons falling off they're just they're just not it so i would definitely say mclaren what's number two i'm personally not a big fan of bent Bentley, just because of the price point that they kind of come in at. And they just, they devalue like terribly. And they just, until more recently, they're like their designs, their interior,
Starting point is 00:09:34 everything was very outdated and kind of like old. It felt like an old man, you know, right, right, right. It didn't have, you know,
Starting point is 00:09:40 like if you're going to go Rolls Royce, right. There's enough that sets a Rolls Royce apart from everything else yeah that like it's okay if you got some wood grain inside right it's a rolls royce right you know apparently it just doesn't it doesn't hit the mark um and what's number three man i want to say i mean just for popularity i would say probably aston martin i'm not a big ass real bad bad car just just again kind of like um just junkie bro like you get in it and you're like man like this is not a three hundred thousand dollar car like or it shouldn't be you know what i mean like it just doesn't feel like you know
Starting point is 00:10:15 some of the other comparable super cars in that price range so i would say those are probably my top three and funny enough they're all like english built cars so i don't know if it's just you know what would be four or five that's hard bro i mean there's a lot of really nice exotic cars that have their like quirks that make you you know like yeah why is this car so expensive you know but i don't know bro that that's that's a tough one i'll leave it at those three bro we'll leave the other ones and which which car after you came encounter with that made you nervous to to touch i'm so nervous that you've been customized this car there's so much there's been a hand it's expensive yeah there's been a handful right now we have an svj that's in the shop lamborghini events but it's like their top yeah you know what that is no how much are those
Starting point is 00:10:59 uh 600 around there six seven wow now they're like six seven but like talk about a couple of months ago they were they were they were a million dollars they were 800 well yeah i guess it depends they come down no they've come down a lot they're they just announced lamborghini announced a new uh event store replacement so oh which one is that revulto or oh okay so that's the basically yes the event store replacement i mean mean, it looks really great, obviously. I've only seen it online. But the car is just – it's a beautiful work of art. And, like, when you look at it, you can tell, like, how intricate it is put together.
Starting point is 00:11:35 So, like, when you're wrapping it or you're doing body work or whatever you're doing to it, like, you're going to take the whole car apart. So, like, you know, those cars can be really intimidating because you know, one, one mistake will cost you more than, than what you were even charged for the job. So those cars are nerve wracking, bro. Like it'll definitely, it'll definitely,
Starting point is 00:11:53 um, you know, scare you a little bit for sure. So in the watch industry, you got Rolly, you got Audemars Piguet, you got Richard Millie. Uh huh.
Starting point is 00:12:01 In the luxury car space, who would you say are the top three? Jeez. That's, that's, I mean, I'm, I'm biased, bro. You deal with cars. In the luxury car space, who would you say are the top three? Jeez, that's tough. I mean, I'm biased, bro. You deal with cars. I've had so many different cars. And you drive so many different cars.
Starting point is 00:12:11 What are you driving currently? Believe it or not, I just sold, I had my Wraith. I just sold the Rolls-Royce Wraith I had, and I just sold my Urus. Oh, you sold the Urus? Yes, I did. Yeah, I'm actually driving uh i have a truck like a silverado just oh okay oh wow that's going down all the way yeah no it's i'm i'm patiently waiting bro i've been i've been trying to um you know secure a couple different cars but it's just
Starting point is 00:12:38 the market is really weird so it's like i'm not i definitely don't want to lose because there's nothing worse than you know buying a you know 300 000 yeah you just you don't want to you don't want to lose because there's nothing worse than you know buying a you know a 300 000 yeah you just you don't want to you don't want to buy at a really bad spot it's one of those things it's always most of the time is always going to go down it's just how much is it going to go down you know so i'm trying to just buy the right car um so i don't have anything in the moment but to kind of tear them off very biased so this is my opinion i would definitely place lamborghini first wow but i love i love lamborghini lamborghini or audi lamborghini audi lamborghini lamborghini bro like the the the bang for your buck that you get out of these cars and they're high performing cars that you don't feel scared driving like they they feel very secure they feel very sturdy um they
Starting point is 00:13:23 don't you know boost randomly like how you'll kind of get with McLarens and even the turboed Ferraris. It's just a very – Oh, they'll boost? Well, they're turboed cars. So they're not like – so most Lamborghinis are going to be naturally aspirated, no turbos. They do have turboed options. In the Urus, it's turboed. But for the most part, their cars are naturally aspirated and Ferrari used to do a lot of
Starting point is 00:13:48 that as well. But, um, you know, a lot of their new platforms are based off of turboed, turboed engines. Cause they're going V6. Yeah. Yeah. The smaller, smaller engines, turbos, um, they're even doing a lot of hybrid mixes. So, um. They're trying to get in the economy market.
Starting point is 00:14:03 So they have to. Yeah. All manufacturers. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Definitely. um they're trying to get in the economy market so they have to yeah all manufacturers yeah yeah definitely um so i would i would list lamborghini at one just because um drivability um and looks bro like i i love ferrari definitely love ferrari but it feels a little bit more old man ish when you're in it like it's it's it's an amazing driving looking beautiful car um but they can tend to feel like uh like like old money cars you know yeah that's the thing so i would say i would say probably lamborghini ferrari and then to place a
Starting point is 00:14:34 third one in there that's tough bro because like when i like when i'm looking at cars where i'm usually only looking at lamborghini or ferrari yeah um that's tough man to to place a nice third you're probably gonna go to you know rolls royce or something just because of like the sheer like level of respect that you get absolutely driving one like um i had did you ever see that all gray wraith every inch of it all gray rims i've seen it yeah yeah yeah it's it's like what's that pewter gray yeah that pewter gray yeah it's called chalk chalk gray it's like the the car name for it but um just bro it's amazing like you pull up to either a valet or an event or really anywhere bro and that car like the amounts of road respect that it gets is just top tier like there's really nothing that that that says i'm here like a rolls royce for sure so
Starting point is 00:15:22 so i was i would say those probably three for sure. So I would say those probably three for sure. Those would be my three, top three for sure. Yeah, yeah. Nice. I've only seen the black Rolls Royces. I didn't know there was other colors. Well, no, he talking about from a custom standpoint. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:33 Oh, you custom. But I mean, you can order them in pretty much any color. Rolls Royce, a lot of these really high-end manufacturers will allow you to get really custom with the orders. Like you can order one-off interiors. You can order, like, man, we've seen Cullinans the uh suv but you can you can i've literally seen ones with like right off of the factory line with pink interior and like all pink i'm talking about like every inch of it pink um greens i've seen like you can you can pay for whatever you like like these people will take your money however you want to give it to them wow so yeah I mean it's it that's what kind of sets those kind
Starting point is 00:16:09 of cars apart is like you're you have the capability of making something very custom and unique you know for for yourself so sure you I mean you know being a business owner you're a full-fledged entrepreneur from day one what would you say like because some people think it's easy yeah how many hours are you working a week you know it's crazy bro there's some weeks where i like i legitimately like you know you you think to yourself in a moment like man i would love and you're the owner he's the owner so how many hours is the owner working but there's some weeks bro where i want to hang it up and take a nine to five job because you're 100 hours into a work week, bro. You're up at 530 and you're working until 730, 8 o'clock, 830 at night, you know, missing meals and missing time with your family or your friends or whatever it is it's a very very tough road that not a lot of people um really
Starting point is 00:17:05 take into consideration what's required to get from you know a to b on that on that you know that journey to entrepreneurship and i mean if you are a true entrepreneur usually that journey never ends like there's really never a destination you know what i mean you're you're always kind of working towards the next thing that you're working on you know so that that's a that's tough bro like it's it's it's not it's not for the weak-hearted for sure bro you can you could do 100 hours a week you know easy bro and you just had a son so how are you able to balance that 100 hour week with the family like how do you like what do you how do you balance is there a balance it's tough no i mean you always you always know you always hear that.
Starting point is 00:17:46 You always hear this like work life balance and it makes you feel like you're you're lacking somewhere. Like I truly, truly don't believe that there is like ever like a real balance. Like you just kind of have to give as much effort in every area of your life as you can. You know, and I mean, if you're, you know, a high achiever, you find ways to make the time where you squeeze it in. Like, I mean, I know for sure, like, you know, I know my son's schedule, so I know when he's going to be up, when he's going to be in bed. So it's like finding ways to work my schedule around that schedule is right now how I'm finding time. And, you know, thankful enough that he's still so young that he won't, he won't maybe, you know, remember all the hours that I'm investing in it now, you know, so I'm, I'm, I'm hoping that, um, you know, I can set, set better, um, you know,
Starting point is 00:18:30 things in place to help me maybe not spend as much time at work. Not that, uh, you know, that it's, that it's an issue for me at the moment, but, you know, um, growing a family and things like that, you, you definitely want to be able to spend some time at home and see your family for sure. One of the things I love about the luxury car space is the networking yeah bro that's the greatest part of it for sure like i mean i've i've met so many interesting people i've met you through the car stuff i mean like i met i met wayne through the car stuff you know like it's it's such a great avenue because it's like cars are like an international language bro like everybody speaks it like you know what i mean like you can talk to you know joe schmoe down the street that you know that that just really loves his camry and you know it's it's cool to
Starting point is 00:19:12 him and you know you can help him out in some type of way whether it be something as small as you know window tinting or fixing a scratch on his car whatever it is like everybody for the most part to a capacity cares about their vehicles and what they drive and it usually is a big you know imprint on who somebody is you know it usually says you know hey this is who i am this is what i like yeah you know so it's it's it's it's a great way to network for sure it's it's been uh a big door opener for me for sure like all the time i've got so many interesting watches and watches yeah you look you gotta have a nice appearance but your car and your watch no definitely absolutely gotta
Starting point is 00:19:49 be there i want to start going on like car meetups and stuff just network there yeah bro it's great you meet so many interesting people i also feel like when you have nice things it feels like you've done something right or you have the answers to get something right yeah well that's attracted to that yeah that's the uh the assumption, the perception, the persona. It's an energy. So I think that, you know, having nice things is always like people perceive you as that. Yeah. He got the answers.
Starting point is 00:20:15 Yeah, for sure. Whether it be true or not. Ask him. He got it somehow, right? Right. You must know. Right, exactly. So I think it's important.
Starting point is 00:20:24 You've done a lot of celebrities, right? Yeah, bro. Been blessed enough to meet pretty much the entire Raiders team. Wow. A bunch of NHL guys, local, not local. You know, a bunch of the lower tier celebrity people that like not a lot of people are familiar with their names. But, you know, they have big impact in their space um you know so it's it's it's been really cool to just hear all the different like life journeys and life stories but it makes you realize that you know there's not just one way there's not
Starting point is 00:20:53 just one answer like there's there's a million different avenues and paths that you could take to get to you know your end game um you know whatever that may be but it's just interesting bro you'll meet people that like you're like wait you did what you did how like i remember when i met you and al and then it was like like wait you what you guys are what a hat yeah a board you know i mean it just it just it makes you realize like brothers there's a billion different things that you could do to find your own little path like you said it's a universal language. Cars brings people together, man. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:21:28 Absolutely. So what's your flagship service? Because I saw on your site you do like so many different things. Like what are you known for? Yeah. I mean, I would like to say wraps, vinyl wraps, just because it's fun. It's my favorite part of the job. Obviously, you know, we do the body work collision repair the small touches
Starting point is 00:21:45 chrome deletes wheels calibers that type of stuff that you know it's still cool but it gets very redundant you've done it once you did it a million times the vinyl stuff is constantly being innovated there's new products there's new colors there's new cars coming out so it's just fun bro like that's that that would be my favorite part of the job i would say flagship service um just because it's it's interesting bro like it's you you you almost never are doing the same thing obviously they're you know the satin black that you do a million times but you know for the most part it looks good but you can't go wrong yeah i love that you can't go wrong with it i feel like green is emerging right now green is emerging orange orange is definitely been on the come up green and orange have definitely been hype colors
Starting point is 00:22:25 for the last seven eight months for sure what green though like that mama green like that very yeah that very like aggressive yeah yeah yeah like a very deep green like it's it's it's definitely a vibe right now for sure what are some ugly some ugly cars you that you actually, you did them, but it was an ugly car. I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings. Oh my God. I didn't know who was listening, so I definitely don't want to hurt anybody's feelings. Right.
Starting point is 00:22:51 Yeah. Um, no, people have had some. But you had some ugly concepts. Oh man. Have any, have you refused to do it?
Starting point is 00:22:57 Cause it's like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
Starting point is 00:22:59 no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
Starting point is 00:22:59 no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
Starting point is 00:23:00 no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

Starting point is 00:23:02 no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
Starting point is 00:23:02 no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
Starting point is 00:23:04 no, no, no, no, no, no, no, interesting ones man like that interesting no no and and and i i say interesting and i really genuinely mean that because like you know the customer will still come and pick it up and they're usually over the top excited about whatever they picked out put together you know and so for me that's just as exciting as seeing something that like i might not necessarily like but like you put it together and you're like holy this is a this is something you know what i mean like we just had we just had a tesla the other day man this thing was like at first i didn't quite understand the vision right i'm not a big like a marvel guy or like you know like like superhero concepts right i'm not i'm not i'm not really one for that um
Starting point is 00:23:40 and initially there was really no like he didn't, Hey, this is going to be a themed car. Like you just dropped off this blue Tesla model Y. And, uh, he was like, yo, like, listen, I want every inch of this car. That's not blue painted red. Like I'm talking about all the plastics, all the emblems, all the chrome, like I wanted everything. I want it all red, like just bright gloss red. I'm like, okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:03 Yeah. Sure. Like, let's like, let's do it right you're not right no no no like take these pieces off and make them permanently red wow i'm like okay like cool like let's do it a big job several thousand dollars you're taking stuff off you're gonna keep it for a while and bro we put this car together and it's just like it's it's there like you know what i mean like you can't miss this thing it's all blue and just red you know rims are red everything's red yeah so guy comes to look at it and he loves it bro he's like just over the top about it i'm like you know great like as long as you love it it's you know awesome
Starting point is 00:24:34 he's like i just want to add one more thing on the car you know like to tie it all in together and it ended up bringing the vision together but he had us put like these red spider webs on the windows. And I'm like, oh, OK, so Spider-Man themed, I guess, you know, so like you get some really odd requests, you know. But but first, like, bro, he was so happy to pull off in his car. You know, it was the exact way that he was envisioning it in his head, you know. So there's not really any one thing that we're like, oh, no, no, we won't do that. Or, you know, so it's it's interesting's interesting to see what you know people come up with um you know not everything is going to be your taste yeah yeah for sure yeah what's the next move for you where do
Starting point is 00:25:14 you see this going it's that's that's been something that i've been kind of pondering a lot lately i teamed up with um a company called shine um which they do with exotics rentals that type of stuff more just normal everyday fleet rentals as well and um he's been in my ear heavy about arizona arizona's been like you know it's it's it's a it's an up and coming spot i mean it's it's you know phoenix scottsdale like migration oh yeah lots of people la lots of people are headed there it's it's a cool place to be um i've got some friends out there they don't have to they don't they don't they're definitely behind on like the the customizations when you kind of you know do a quick overview of the custom shops that are out there and so there's really not much like innovative cool stuff exotic stuff that's coming out of there um and even vegas is still
Starting point is 00:26:00 relatively new like you know a lot of the stuff comes from california works its way here and then as long as like a handful of the stuff comes from California works its way here and then there's only like a handful of you guys that actually do good work though but true yeah good work there's a there's there's a there's a bunch of people that have seen the the power of what this type of business can do and that are starting to dabble in it by no means professionals or or operating at a high level but um I think I think Arizona is going to be the next move where we're looking at some some spots out there you are looking we are yeah yeah so he's he's for sure moving the rentals out there we're for sure doing a rental branch out there um but the rentals
Starting point is 00:26:35 and the wrap customization repair stuff kind of go hand in hand i mean a lot of them do all at the same spot yeah yeah so we're looking at some spaces but definitely don't want to move into something without having you know all of the stuff laid out first i got enough on my plate so it's like what part of arizona scottsdale is oh yeah it's just such a it's such a cool area to be um and it's like you said bro it's it's emerging it's up and coming like there's there's people going there every day so will you be back and forth or move out there i think i think realistically off the off the bat like right off the rip to start things off i'd spend a little bit of time out there but um bro i i love vegas and i i can't imagine myself relocating out there you know for much of anything bro like i i would like to just kind of make it
Starting point is 00:27:19 you know a quick stop get things set up and organized and and and keep my momentum going out here for sure. What about Miami and LA or is it too saturated? Yeah. Yeah. Both places are great places for the industry. And, um, I've had a couple of opportunities to go to the like LA surrounding areas, um, with, you know, a couple of investors and people that were interested in the space. But, um, again, it's just so hard to make a way out there. Not that it's not possible, but yeah, bro, it's already a really popular market out there. There's custom shops on, you know. Every corner.
Starting point is 00:27:52 Every corner, every city. Yeah, there's lots of momentum out there already. Not that you couldn't go out there and, you know, find your own, you know know people to deal with um but um i think i would probably avoid those areas just because enough people have already done them that um i feel like the work would be a lot more like hard out there that as opposed to to you know maybe one of these smaller spots that still has a lot of traction but is not you know quite where vegas or california or miami would be at for for that type of stuff are you hydro dipping anything yet no bro that stuff is really cool but what is up it's just basically it's equivalent to
Starting point is 00:28:31 kind of what he's doing already but it's a liquid form and it's not for big pieces it's more for like one yeah and and and they actually are creating machines that you can do like massive pieces in it too now but it's basically like picture like a big dunk tank um that you put these like um films at the top film yeah i don't know the best way to describe it other than like a film like a translucent film you could take a shoe uh oh i think i've seen videos whatever and you dip it in and come out and people do it with shoes right people do with all types of stuff yeah it's really cool um it's the machinery is a little expensive to do it for the automotive stuff. And there's not a huge demand for it.
Starting point is 00:29:07 I don't know if it's just because people don't know about it. It's kind of like where you were with the plastic. Yeah. Yeah. Years ago. Yeah. So it's like, I don't know if it just really hasn't hit its boom or what yet, but there's not a lot of requests for it.
Starting point is 00:29:20 So the investment into it just hasn't been really enough demand to to make that move but christian it's been fun talking to you man yeah absolutely bro we're done already we're done out of time quick bro any closing uh closing words of wisdom no no bro um i mean any entrepreneurs or people out there like on a on a on a path towards you know working towards you know whatever it is that floats your boat um you know just don't give up you know the typical words that you'll hear from everybody on that same journey like you just gotta gotta keep working through the tough times and keep working away at whatever you can bro and and uh keep your forward momentum don't stop for nothing where can they um find you and follow you and if they want to get their cars done yeah las vegas uh pretty much the only spot now um but uh
Starting point is 00:30:03 we're uh we're we're located centrally in vegas dip daughter works on all social medias um and uh christian beckerley reach out to me i'm the owner i can definitely help out for for any of the questions and uh i'm here for it i think people gonna feel aware about his top three worst cars i can't wait till we get there's people that love mclaren so yeah yeah but there's people i've heard a lot of horror stories i heard off the lot into the back to the dealership i had a really high-end customer 765 lt like pretty much as high tiers you can go without buying p1 less than 1200 miles on the car engine just totally blue yeah you're talking
Starting point is 00:30:47 about a five hundred thousand dollar car that you know that even if they're gonna you know fix and replace and change out for you you're still i don't think mercedes has made like kind of done i think they're kind of rushing it but you know because mclaren and mercedes are together yeah yeah yeah no and i love a lot of the new stuff that Mercedes is doing, too. You know, all the new interior redesign stuff is top notch. And they're affordable, bro. Like, a lot of these, like, nice high-end stuff that, you know, used to seem unobtainable.
