advice on starting automotive repair shop?

admin — Thu, 27 May 2010 23:20:12 +0000

i’m thinking of starting a automotive repair shop/detail. what do i need to start with, what should i charge per hour. what is the sucess rate of this type of business. what kind of profit can i make at this type of business. thanks for you answers.

wow.

a; visit a local library and take out books on
introduction to business
marketing and
small biz mgt

b. study them as fast as you can

—
c. make sure you are certified by the AAA.

What you charge is a COMBINATION of what you need to
take home per day and what your competition charges.
IT becomes a math matrix and it might change every
6 mo for the first 3 yrs while you change your company
as different events occur;

different cars, more equipment, losses,
better staff/mechanics.

d. find a biz plan template that is free, and down load it.

e. write up your executive summary [a brief run down on who you are
and why a auto repair biz]
and I will guide you free for 2 weeks, 1/2 hour a week.
