Kent and Tracey Soignier, owners of the GMD Computrack franchises in Atlanta and Fort Lauderdale, are opening a third location January 7 in Mansfield, Texas, a suburb of the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

“If the initial reaction we’ve had is any indication,” said Kent Soignier via telephone from his Atlanta shop, “then this is going to be a very good location for us. We’re already booking work. When we were first looking for a place in that area, we were just concerned with the size and rent of the places. It was only after we took the place that we realized Mansfield is where Jeff Nash’s (Advanced Motor Sports) and the Race Engine Service (RES) shops are. It’s going to be good.”

The newest member of the GMD Computrack network will be managed by Scott Landry, who comes from a metal-working background. Landry has spent the last 12 months training with Soignier at GMD Computrack-Atlanta. Soignier says that he is currently interviewing a number of other highly-qualified candidates to staff the new franchise. The shop will be located at 1285 North Main Street, Unit 308, Mansfield, Texas. The phone number will be (682) 518-1660, but the phones will not be turned on before early January. Soignier said that people looking for more information or to book work should call him in Atlanta at (404) 297-8464.
