How
Clear Image Started:
I
(Dan)
started Clear Image Automotive in December of 1999. I had purchased my
1995 Black Impala SS in the summer of 95. I started to add
bolt-on performance parts and soon found myself at a stand
still. I was ready to purchase headers and could not
find a decent set. All the shorty headers available had
foolish designs and the power increase was not worth the
effort. I could not find any full length headers and
decided to start my own business. I have always worked in a service
oriented industry and applied what I had learned to my
customer service. In the beginning Clear Image was internet
based only. All headers were sub-contracted. In the spring
of 2003 I had the opportunity to share a small shop with
another small business owner, Brian Hunter of Get Bent Fabrication.
This allowed all header production to come in-house and our
product line began to expand.
Not
one year later Brian and I went our separate ways and I
moved into a new facility with a
store front and plenty of space to grow. Equipment and
tool supply continued to expand as well as my products and services.
In October 2004 Todd Cason became my primary fabricator.
With his vast knowledge and experience working with
stainless steel we were able to expand our product line and
take production of many parts in-house.
In
January 2006 we made a large expansion in business by
purchasing our first Mandrel Bending machine, as well as
several hydraulic presses and a tubing cutter. This allowed
us, once again, to take several products in-house that we
were having to purchase from other suppliers. I am happy to
say we now have complete manufacturing capability and have
been able to branch off to the wholesale side of things by
producing several different headers for several new
companies.
Customer service
has always been my key
focus, besides product development. We simply treat our
customers as we expect to be treated when visiting other
establishments as customers ourselves. It's simple and it
works. Almost 100% sales have resulted from "word of mouth"
advertisement. We will continue to focus on service and
research new technologies, products and applications!
To all
our customers: Thank you very much for your support!
We would not be here today without YOU!
