Posted by admin on April 29, 2010How much does it cost to open an autobody shop and what costs are associated in an tiemized format such as:
- 6,000 lb lift $2500

etc.
Any help would be appreciated
ok guys listen up you have disposal fees for used oil’s and liquids you can call a company like (Safty clean) they also rent uniforms, frame machine is around $12,000 for a descent one and all hardware, air compressor is about 3,500 for a good onemost tools can be bought on time from snap-on or mac or anyplace like that and just pay a certain amount each month,your paints and clears and thinners should be bought in bulk to make it cheaper,and as far as your lift and welder go you wont need a 6,000lb lift your frame machine will do just fine and the welder guess again try 2 to 3 thousand for a descent mig at an guestimat i would say a probable start up would ru8n you at a bare minimum if you were just to get the doors open would be around 20,000 to 30,000 dollars it isnt cheap plus your building rental or lease and to have it rewired to handle your electric needs as for compressor and lighting would be pretty high alsoi would lean toward the 30,000 dollar mark for start up cast! good luck in your venture i hope it works for you p.s. i would look into auto repair cheaper to operate and tools are cheaper.
it all depends on the size of the shop like 2 or 3 bay garage maybe more ok im looking for the samething im from cleveland ohio
