About US
First off, thank you for your interest in learning more about our Company and the Brand we are working hard to create and build every single day. Like most businesses, the vision of Factory CS began with experience, connections, sacrifices, hard work, and dedication. The vision of Factory CS has been the same since it was established in 2020, being "different" than the "corporate/standard" business model. Being racers ourselves, all aspects, we strive to be perfect and do what is right, for the team and goal at hand. Below is what makes us, Team Factory CS, different than the rest.
SHOCKS:
Since 2017, Chad Simondsen has been repairing, revalving, developing, and testing shocks. Having experience with multiple brands, analyzing every manufacturers parts, options, and capabilites, is the reason we chose and have been with Penske Racing Shocks from the beginning of our brand. As politics in the racing world change, Penske Racing Shocks has stayed true in building the highest quality products. Could we work on any brand? Yes. Do We? No. We focus solely on Penske Racing Shocks because we are not salesmen trying to sell you any shock, we want you to have the best shock and what we believe in. We stock everything to keep you on the track, making statements. We are firm in the statement of "Quality over Quantity". We guarantee to make sure you are happy and take care of you, your investment, and your/our teams success.
PARTS:
Over the years we have built connections and relationships with many companies and work hand in hand with an abundance of others. Being a Factory CS "Factory Driver" gets you discounts on the Companies we deal with. We strive to assist our Teams the best we can, and we believe saving you money where we can, will launch your program forward. We pretty much offer every component and supplies you would need to run your race program, from tear-offs, fluids, tools, etc, Throughout the year and especially in the off-season we also offer great used parts from our own House Cars and ensure everything works as it should.
CARS:
Having Our House Cars (Chris Simpson Racing in Longhorn Chassis) obviously is the Primary "Day Job" focus. We also house a few other cars as well during racing season. With that being said, we always keep Fresh/New Cars in our shop and cycle them mostly every year. Our relationship with Longhorn Chassis Dealer Tye Twarog has grown tremendously over the years and work hand in hand on providing parts and ordering new cars for customers. If you are in the market for a new or used Longhorn, reach out to us and we can lead you in the right direction on an educated investment.
MERCH/LASER ENGRAVING:
Everyone loves merchandise and cool stuff. This is another thing we're different at. What started off as a hobby and a way to have multiple designs and lower quantities to stock ourselves, we made an investment on a small laser engraver to make patch hats. Just 2 years later, we have acquired 2 additional lasers to produce some of our own Factory CS Performance Parts items as well as Factory CS merch and custom merch for customers as well. Being a "FACTORY DRIVER" you also benefit with discounts of your own custom merch and also FREE, yes FREE Factory CS Merch.
With all of this being said, we are not done growing, and we want you to grow with us, together. If you want to be a part of our Brand and Team, do not be shy to reach out about anything we offer..
