Make sure to watch Part 2: czcams.com/video/bgO5Vkr4osg/video.html Are you thinking about starting a car tuning business? What’s your main take-away from Alex’s story? We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments!
I purchased a vs 2 h22 turbo manifold from this company sheepey built two years ago. I got it on black Friday sale at a good price. It was absolutely art work. The craftsmanship was 100% amazing people can be that skilled
1) you can tell his DNA is wired for this biz, 2) he's supporting 14+families and growing w/ this 1 biz. riches in niches. no short cuts. a very wise 34-yr-old.
I absolutely love that as an owner you take seriously the responsibility you have for the families of your 14 employees. That says a ton about you as a person and leader. That drives supreme loyalty and longevity. Kudos!
On my second and third businesses after selling my first one and I absolutely love the content you guys create. You guys 100% will blow up one day. I look forward to watching your new videos to get ideas for future projects! :)
Hold Up, the tattoo on his neck looks like the scientific formula for THC also, love this kind of business content. NOT just hightlighting their projects, but how the owner himself got there and their problems throughout their process
Its hilarious that some folks in the comments are calling Alex a d**k lmao dude is the most generous, funny, cool tuner out there. This is just his professional persona to market his brand.
Hey just wanna say I respect Alex saying you can’t start over night. I appreciate hearing that because I’m a very spontaneous guy. I get a thought in my head and I’m on it until it’s done. Business ownership is completely different though. Thank you for the video.
Starting and running a business is a commitment that requires meticulous planning, strategic thinking, hard work, and unwavering consistency. Entrepreneurship is sadly not for everyone, as it entails enduring the inevitable challenges along the way. 💪
This is a cringeworthy interview. Some people are absolutely okay with sharing financial information to a point, but you should take 9:51 to heart. Not a relevant question.
Are you his mommy? This was a good interview. What would you ask him? How big his peepee is? Take it to heart... lol wtf? Dude stfu! If the man didn't want to answer the question... then he wouldn't have.
That question was relevant. What is your average sales per week? How many Repair orders do you perform a week? What is the average repair order $ in your shop?
@@fulibiesagain6918 I wouldn't ask him anything more intrusive after he was clearly annoyed with the direction of the questions. The interviewer just seemed like a "clickbaitey" type person if that makes sense. The entire title basically told the story of the video. WOW thats so much money coming out of the shop!" Cringe AF.
@@mvs36 So you're saying you think the interviewer was trying to hype his channel? Why is that a bad thing? I get what you are saying, but I disagree. I think those types of questions are what people like to hear, and the interviewer knows that. Again I'd the dude doesn't want to answer the question.... then don't.
That dude is livin the dream.. stressful but I'm sure at the end of the day.. he knows he wakes up to what he wants to do.. and $$ comes in so it's all good
Love all of your videos!!! Keep up the great stuff!! This should should be the number 1 channel on CZcams and will be! I'll be on here one day being interviewed as well
thats right world wide , been following sheepy since the honda days from magazines , so glad there is a youtube channel , and there clothing is 100 correct !!!!!!!
I'm running firearms accessories business and these aren't super complex products like these car tuning kits. But still a lot of stress and effort to keep things on schedule. So I can picture that the stress level in there must go through the roof sometimes.
Keep it up and I appreciate the honest review and great explanation how to run and how is the business doing! the shop looks great and well organized as well. U build a great team! And the level of fabricator work is outstanding! Kudos
@@danielfaatz5168 mechanical engineering to design aftermarket performance parts and performance combinations from reading what people have done on their vehicles that work and are reliable
I’d like to ask how your continuous relationships with your customers works. Warranty? Issues outside of your areas? As any perception, there are two ways to go and how do you deal with that ?
@@UpFlip do you know how many customers you need to have to make 7M a year? Are they turning out? That would have to be a complete build from fuel system, ecu, entire turbo plumbing, and placement... And tuning... every 3 days lol not happening
You might be right, but they do have a choice to answer it or not. They can simply turn down the question and it wont be included in the episode as some of the people we interview do.
@@UpFlip yeah I just saw one of the 1300hp cars do a full WOT pull, it changed my life. I’ve driven exotics, worked with them for over 8 years and that took my breath away. Sheepey seems to be the way to go with these r8 kits.
These successful automotive business owners all say not to do what they're doing. Why is that? If you're really making $7 million a year with dishing out only $100k a month overhead what is bad about $5.8M in profit a year?
Thanks for the comment Rookie To Pro Buildz. 😀👍This business was really cool and we learned a lot from the business owner. Have you checked out part 2 of the video?
Alex can do something similar to Jimmy (MrBeast) in terms of serving an international audience through various languages, but hiring voiceover artists who speak the language of the audience he's trying to reach. Jimmy mentioned this on the Joe Rogan podcast
Honestly, this company owner sounds very arrogant. He literally started from Honda’s in his garage, and then got into exotics right after, but then goes on to say nobody else can do that? 🤔 As Biden would say “come on man!” I don’t own an exotic, but I know I will at some point in my life, but even with my less expensive cars, every shop I’ve taken them to to get worked on, I always #1. Stay away from shops like these because they charge ridiculous prices while still performing the same as any “at-home” mechanic, and #2. I call or stop into the shop to feel the energy that I’m getting from the shop workers/owner. If I feel good, then I will take it to them. This guys attitude rubbed me the wrong way 3 minutes into this video. Why do you think he said “don’t do it” when asked what kind of advice he could give to anyone going into this or thinking about it? Because he doesn’t want competition! He doesn’t care about anyone but himself. He doesn’t want other people in the same situation, working out of their garage (there are thousands of people who do this) to succeed because that brings competition, and he might one day have to lower his prices.
Worst thing you can say to someone with a goal in mind and the drive to do it is "YOU CANT DO THIS". hope some young cat that likes lambo's isnt out there straight pissed right now. lol
Giving ONE good advice isn’t saying “Don’t Do IT”! could he have a gave a better good advice? Sure. Yes, if you do do it, surround yourself by somebody who is doing it and model after that person,be a sponge and absorb and learn so you can have a successful shop like mine. I think he could of said something like that.
Should of been interviewed by a car guy not a dollar guy, you can tell Alex isn’t caring to discuss his numbers. This dude should of picked the hunt up
Don’t look at this and say “i want too be like that” Alex is on his phone from when he wakes till bedtime SEVEN DAYS a week! No amount of money is worth it that work load! Our fathers would knock-off work and that was it, they’re weren’t answering emails and phone-calls till bedtime! Todays work-load is designed too benefit the economy, not you and your family. Your way better off living a simpler life, one where you pay people too fix your car. I bet Alex doesn’t have time too cruise his own cars. Alex is right..DONT DO IT!!!

i'm surprised that Alex didn't have a bag of cool ranch doritos in his hand....lol!
And an empty Starbucks cup

They do have amazing products !
He can literally retire and higher other people to run his shop but he still continues working hands on himself. Mad respect.
I doubt that he can retire. Margins are not nearly as great on exotic automobiles. Labor is labor you will not see a huge difference in rates.
@@turbomustang8417wdym?

I'm a huge supporter of Mr. Soto. Been following his CZcams since the beginning. The guy is really an inspiration.
found him because of DDE 🔥
This guy is only 34? Wow, he isn’t lying when he said it is very stressful. I thought he is in his mid 40s.
He doesn't have a gray hair on his head and barely one on his face, mid 40's lol.
He's the fams neighbor and been a o.g. Honda head🙏🏽👊🏽🏎
I thought he was Damon Fryers age

This guy he clearly doesn't want competition.
Haha yeah he's pretty incredible! Thanks for watching!
@@UpFlip No problem buddy you should do more of these Performance car vids. Their very interesting.
Damn, alex started from hondas? Respect
Excellent interview with some tuff questions. Alex answers where sincere and professional.
Comparing his style versus Hennessey are polar opposites.
This is a cringeworthy interview. Some people are absolutely okay with sharing financial information to a point, but you should take 9:51 to heart. Not a relevant question.
Yeah he was pissed or annoyed most the interview
Are you his mommy? This was a good interview. What would you ask him? How big his peepee is? Take it to heart... lol wtf? Dude stfu! If the man didn't want to answer the question... then he wouldn't have.

Congratulations to Sheepy. I remember following his builds/post on NWP.
I would live to hear more of the Honda beginnings and the transition.
That’s crazy I wish one day to have a shop like this.
NO YOU CAN'T DO IT..
..😂😂😂😂LOL
@@danielgarcia9095yes he can
Great work, Alex. You’ve built a remarkable business. I wish you continued success!
That dude is livin the dream.. stressful but I'm sure at the end of the day.. he knows he wakes up to what he wants to do.. and $$ comes in so it's all good
One to two cars a week is probably the the realest answer he gave. who cares about the specific money thats all subject to you and your customers.
Love all of your videos!!! Keep up the great stuff!! This should should be the number 1 channel on CZcams and will be! I'll be on here one day being interviewed as well
Thanks a lot! We do it for our fans!
As someone who seen it myself sheepey is the dopest thing ever

14 employees is no joke on overhead with Sheepy Race...Those guys arent working for peanuts..!!
How much do you think his crew makes a year?
@@Josh-hr5mc just over head on employess and nothing else has to be couple millions.. Its not cheap running a shop of this caliber.
Love how honest he was. Great guy
He's a great guy to talk too!
thats right world wide , been following sheepy since the honda days from magazines , so glad there is a youtube channel , and there clothing is 100 correct !!!!!!!
We do love their merch! And cars of course
Next year you will have million subscriber 👍
We really hope so ;)
7:09 minute in the V-log is the moment of the truth amen I respect your honesty sir 🙏
The people that disliked this video probably had their phones upside down :)
Love this channel 👍🏽
If you were able to start in this industry, everyone with hard and smart work can also do it!
Very true Aaron!
Exactly.

U make good money?
Keep it up and I appreciate the honest review and great explanation how to run and how is the business doing! the shop looks great and well organized as well. U build a great team! And the level of fabricator work is outstanding! Kudos
Their shop is one of the best for a reason!
Alex could Captain a US Navy vessel.
I saw this video, I eventually want to open up my own tuning shop, but might have to start off as a repair shop
@Daniel Faatz dude I’m the same way I want to run my own tuning shop as you maybe we can do a collab tuning shop I have so many ideas

Since my first view for sheepy race been a huge fan super professional and getting that hustle in
found Sheepy from the DDE fam !!!
Congrats Alex!
I know about the stress of running a shop..good luck and keep up the good work.
Stress of what holding a cup!!! Are you kidding me he’s modeling with Starbucks cup in his hand !!!
They legit started in my home town of Perris lol
I’d like to ask how your continuous relationships with your customers works. Warranty? Issues outside of your areas? As any perception, there are two ways to go and how do you deal with that ?
*based on feedback and customer experience. - for last question
Alex be like don't do it 😂😂
but deep inside if someone did this this will add another competitor to his business 😅
He was almost mad when the guy asked him how to go about building your own Performance business. lol!
I'm from queens 1 of my boys from longisland put me on this man....legend.
Awesome! Greetings to Queens! ☺️
@@UpFlip 💪 💪 💪!
great video guys!
Thank you!

Thanks a great idea Danny. Have you showed him this video?

Here because of Reyes!
Welcome to the channel!
That Just TT it shirt tho....I need.
Check out their website!
@@UpFlip yea, sadly its sold out.
Love this kind of content
Sheepey Racing? 2 thumbs up before watching it
Thanks for the support!
At 5:05 Alex talked about the Lamborghini manifolds he just got in and working with a big F1 team in Dubai. What F1 team is based in Dubai?
I think this guy has more stories then Dr. Seuss.. There is zero way that shop is making 7M a year 😂😂
If you watch their vlogs and see how much customers they have, you'll see how 7 million is not a lot for them.
@@UpFlip do you know how many customers you need to have to make 7M a year? Are they turning out? That would have to be a complete build from fuel system, ecu, entire turbo plumbing, and placement... And tuning... every 3 days lol not happening
Great video
Thanks
Buonze check out this video when it drops
I thought CPC in Australia made their intake manifolds, not an F1 team in Dubai
I feel like a lot of these questions are too personal to be asking business wise especially what he makes money wise.
I mean he agreed to this they obviously rehearsed it lol
You might be right, but they do have a choice to answer it or not. They can simply turn down the question and it wont be included in the episode as some of the people we interview do.
youre obviously a car guy and not a business guy lol. thats what this channel is about. business. and the biggest part of business is finance...
Bruh business is all about money. That's the whole thing.
@@rayreeves4681 exactly lol
Great interview. Wow 70% from CZcams
Thank you!
I love what Sheepey does. But what happens when gas powered cars aren’t manufactured anymore in the coming years?
That's an interesting question. We'll be sure to ask that if we interview another business like theirs in the future. Thank you for your comment!
Nothing
There will be still be these cars around
Love Sheepey 👍
Speaking of marketing, I found out about Sheepy from their Adams Polishes collab.
They are smart with their marketing!
Muchas gracias por su video god bless you
You're very welcome! God Bless!

Mainly it’s from dde all video he made at his shop must had tons business rolling in
Lmfao. He was hugeeeee before dde.
lmfao, nah he was big before dde during the honda scene, because some of us race Seen his work back then.
Yes you can money talks man and i get it competition makes it harder

How long did it take for him to gain enough knowledge to do this on his own?
He started with JDM mods, specifically exhaust manifolds for turbo kits for Hondas out of his garage. He says it in the beginning 1:21.

Have*, not "of".
Hes still working on hondas the red motor at 5:18 was a k20a lol
Cant forget where you started !
I’m gonna do it just because he said don’t do it! 😈
Don’t look at this and say “i want too be like that”

It's not all butterflies and rainbows
This is true, sometimes there's rough times
Wow I never knew his viewers owned exotic cars I thought they're all like me 16 and broke
its gotta be more than 100k a month 14 employees yearly income, must be 100k just to keep the lights on and insurance paid
It seam like dude didn't care about the Latino side of sheepey
course we are Steven, as I host I'm getting better each day so thanks for your feedback and patience. Thank you!
Stop putting race on everything. Life is so much better looking at everyone as the same you should try it
Proof it makes 1500hp
If you watch their vlogs you can see the dyno charts!
Piece of advice "don't do it". Sure nobody likes competition.
Nothing easy about working with 250k + cars
payroll, insurance,everything all in 100k for the month!omfg
But getting out only 2 cars a week equals roughly $200k! There is a big upside!
