Perfectionist Does it Again

08/19/2015 By Don Poynter

Perfectionist was humbled and honored in 2011 to be recognized as the #1 Retailer of the Year in America for our industry by a leading industry publication like Mobile Electronics Magazine. At the time, we were working hard to refine and upgrade every detail of our customer experience when industry colleagues nominated us for the list of top 50 retailers. With so many changes taking place and so much positive feedback, it seemed it was the perfect time to throw our hat into the ring at a chance at recognition for our growth. We knew it was a long shot but we figured taking big chances and going for the gold so to speak was what got us this far, so we might as well try, right? We were blown away when our name was called at the awards banquet. Our industry had recognized us for being the best of the best and we couldn’t have been more proud or more in awe at the competition we were up against. We didn’t think it could get any better. It fueled and motivated us from that day to take the next steps to make things bigger and better.

Then on August 17, 2015…. that magic happened again. As we sat amongst colleagues, friends and mentors being honored for their accomplishments and contributions to the 12 Volt Industry… the drum roll swelled and when our name was called for that award… again… everything stopped. All I could think about was “did this really just happen again?” I thought about how my team pushes themselves every day to live up to my standards. I thought about how motivated and energized they are to be the best and how proud of them I am. How thankful I am for each and every person in my life, professionally and personally, from whom I have learned so many things and that have brought me to this point. I thought about how much I love being a part of an industry where innovation and craftsmanship can both be competitive, yet breed a brotherhood that is unbreakable.

I know I said thank you to so many that night. But in the event that I didn’t make it clear enough, thank you. Thank you to our customers for without you and your trust in us and your continued patronage and feedback we could not grow and learn the way we do. Thank you to my industry colleagues for motivating and inspiring. Thank you to my team. I know I push hard to always do better and I hope you know how much your dedication to this dream means to me.

Thank you,

JOHN SCHWARTZ | CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

Compustar® is Heading to the Outback

06/03/2015 By Don Poynter

Compustar started in the Perfectionist shop right here in Alaska over 20 years ago. Since then the brand has grown in exponential ways and is now based out of Washington so it can better reach and service the rest of the country with the industry leading 2 way technology they invented. But like with all companies who have a product desired by many, it was only a matter of time before the notoriety, dependability and positive customer experience of Compustar’s products would be wanted in parts of the globe far and wide.

Perfectionist is proud to be a part of the collaborative efforts to take Compustar to new levels and into new countries. As we write this, John and Aaron are in Australia launching the official Compustar Australia division, bringing world renown remote start technology to the outback. The after market industry in Australia has been booming for quite some time putting out impressive and inspiring vehicles and customizations that have made the world take notice. Now Compustar is proud to be a part of that culture and to bring their innovation into a new and exciting market.

Alaska Sets New Winter Record

06/03/2015 By Don Poynter

Alaska is known for it’s beautiful winters and amazing long summer nights, but recently the 907 has hit new records for the coldest winter days in the world and that means dangerous conditions for you and your vehicle. Did you know that at 40° below zero, it only takes 6 minutes for your vehicle’s engine to cool down to below freezing temperatures? That means that even a quick run into the store can turn into a car or truck that won’t start. That is one of the many benefits of a remote start system.

Even during the warm and yes, HOT summer days here in Alaska, a remote start can be of great value. How often do you get into a hot car on a hot day and that moment your leg hits that leather seat you wish you had pre-cooled your vehicle? Did you know that is an option? Instead of walking out to your car to turn on the air conditioner, you can activate your vehicle remotely and have it cooled and waiting when you get in.

Upgrade to our Compustar Drone® Mobile system and operate your vehicle’s remote start, security features, auxiliary options, tracking and more from practically anywhere in the world, right on your smartphone. Stop by today and ask one of our associates about what options might be best for you.
