Jase Junius Posted October 11, 2025 Report Posted October 11, 2025 (edited) Years went by with the city's garages booked up, understaffed, or in the control of those who valued cash over cars. The streets are filled with clunky imports, drag-tuned muscle cars, and luxury rides that hardly get the consideration they deserve. Between the chaos of Bayview and the part-timers at Benny's, there was always room for something new—something cleaner, faster, and designed with purpose. That is where Velocity Motors was born. The idea didn't exist in an office or investor meeting somewhere. It existed in a grimy old warehouse on the outskirts of town—a building once used for crashed police cars and auction remains. Some mechanics, all from different walks of life, had one thing in common: they were tired of shops that made every repair job feel like a chore and every employee feel like a disposable. They dreamed of somewhere where the work would do the talking—a shop founded on skill, respect, and a pride in the craft. Weeks of cleaning out the building, yanking out corroded toolboxes, smashed lifts, and mysterious parts. In pieces, the warehouse started to change—new floors, new lighting, fine-tuned compressors, and lifts that could lift anything from lowriders to long-haulers. The name was only natural: Velocity Motors—because everything they do is movement, power, precision. This garage isn't just here to fix cars—it's here to save the reputation of the city's mechanics. No cut corners, no half jobs, no ego games. People bring their car in and know it's in the care of folks who give a darn. From custom engines, drift builds, cosmetic jobs, off-road setups, or just regular maintenance, the people at Velocity treat every job like they're having their own car on the line. Word started to spread before the paint even dried. Local residents who grew tired of waiting three days for an estimate, street racers who needed last-minute adjustments, and even taxi drivers who wanted to keep their cabs in operation stopped by to ask when the doors would be opening. Others simply stopped by to look inside. Others dropped off their résumés even before the lifts had been put in. Velocity Motors won't just be another name on the map. They're going to do after-hours emergency work, performance packages, roadside response, and even a small showroom in the future for specialty builds. They won't be competing with other shops—instead, they'll create a whole new level. And when they do finally open the doors, the city will know it. Engines where they should be. Work completed ahead of time. Mechanics who are proud of their name and their labor. Velocity Motors is not opening a garage—they're restoring what the car culture was meant to be about: respect, quality, and horsepower with attitude. Edited October 17, 2025 by Jase Junius
Jase Junius Posted October 17, 2025 Author Report Posted October 17, 2025 How Velocity Motors Came to Be Velocity Motors didn’t start as some fancy repair shop with lifts and uniforms. It started with car meets, street shows, and late-night events. We were more about the scene than the sockets, you know? People came to show off their rides, race a little, talk engines, and just be around cars. But every time we hosted something, the same thing happened—someone would roll up with a busted diff, bad tuning, dragging exhaust, or some half-finished build they couldn’t trust another shop with. Folks kept asking, “Yo, you know anyone who can fix this right?” That’s when I realized we could be more than just an entertainment name. So I bought 3 Marina Dr. Place was a dump when I found it. Dust everywhere, old junk left behind, lights barely working. But I saw potential. Good bones. Good location. And most importantly—nobody else’s name on it but mine. I put the money down myself, no investors breathing down my neck, and we started building it into something real. Velocity Motors shifted from events to engines—but we didn’t drop the entertainment side. We just built on top of it. Meets, expos, promo runs—they’re still part of who we are, but now we’ve got bays, lifts, tools, and a crew that can actually fix what shows up. How the Ranks Work Around Here I didn’t build this place just to have everyone standing around with the same title and no direction. I set it up so people can grow—whether they’re wrenching under a hood or handling the business side. Here’s how it breaks down: SHOP FLOOR – THE HANDS-ON CREW This is where everyone starts if they’re here to work on cars. Trainee – Brand new, shadowing, learning. Junior Mechanic – Can do basics with help. Mechanic – Trusted to handle full jobs. Senior Mechanic – Takes harder work, helps others. Lead Mechanic – Runs the floor and helps with questions. THE FACE & VOICE OF THE SHOP Some people are better with customers and paperwork than torque wrenches. Public Relations Specialist – Talks to clients, handles events. Human Resources Assistant – Helps with recruitment and staff issues. Assistant Head of PR – Helps run the division giving calls as well as ideas for the next events. Assistant Head of HR – Helps manage hiring and employee matters. Head of PR – Runs the Public Relations division giving out the calls, supporting and helping with events. Head of HR – Handles staff, internal problems, and structure. 🛠 OVERSEERS & ORGANIZERS These are the people that keep everything together. Assistant Supervisor – Helps lead when needed. Supervisor – Keeps shifts and people in line. Assistant Manager – Handles day-to-day shop needs. Manager – Runs operations, stock, and scheduling. TOP LEVEL – THE BUSINESS SIDE These positions exist to keep the company growing, not just running. Board of Directors – Trusted decision-makers. Chief Operating Officer (COO) – Runs all departments smoothly. Chief Executive Officer (CEO) – Makes the big calls. OWNER/FOUNDER That’s me. I don’t sit in an office hiding from the crew—I built this from the ground up, and I’ll make sure it stays on the right track.
