how hard is it to rezone a residential property to commercial retail/auto repair property??
Posted by admin on June 9, 2010I am looking at a property that is not a very good residential property (it is on the corner of 2 busy highways), and wanting to turn it into an auto repair shop. How hard is it to rezone the property? How long would the process take? It is located in dekalb county, Ga.
You should visit the local planning department. They often have a "zoning matrix" that will show all the property zoning categories and then what are "permitted uses", if a variance is needed, etc.
You are most likely not the first person that has ever wanted to open an auto repair business and they can guide you to what parts of town will have the proper zoning for your intended use and also the chances, costs and procedures on obtaining a variance or rezone.

Who do you trust to service/repair your auto?
Posted by admin on May 31, 2010No..I’m not looking for specific names of auto repair shops. But more interested what criteria you use to decide on the mechanic you bring your car to for service and why. thx.
1) Only go the dealer for repair?
2) Choose mechanic within relative short distance from home?
3) Ask friend/family to refer one?
4) Do thorough evaluation — pros/cons of one shop over another?
ME!
I live in the country and the only service facility within 50 miles is the local Co-op garage in our village. Their mechanic is olde school and an excellent fabricator but he usually too busy repairing farm equipment and he takes a month and a half for vacation at this time of the year.
So, I end up doing most of my own work. Jacked up the old Sunfire yesterday and performed a complete rear brake replacement including one backing plate. I also have a 50 year old Jaguar Sports Car and a few other assorted vehicles that I do most of my own work on. I have two newer vehicles that have to be driven or towed that 50 miles to the dealers though because they have warranties.
My next project is a complete rear end rebuild on the Jaguar but the majority of that will be ’sent out’ and performed elsewhere as I do not have the specialized tools.
My wife hates it when I work on her car because I "do the job right" ( read as takes twice as long). LOL.
SO;
1) Only go the dealer for repair? – seldom unless it’s warranty. Dealer shop rates tend to be higher than independent shops and 1/4 of the work is performed by apprentices – YIKES!
2) Choose mechanic within relative short distance from home? – that is always best. Keep the work in your community
3) Ask friend/family to refer one? – absolutely !
4) Do thorough evaluation – if possible get references – have them do a few simple procedures first.
