Start your own Auto Repair Shop with These Simple
Tips!

  • Auto repair business is not as complicated as
    some might think but just requires skilled
    mechanics and planning to kick start in the right
    direction. Many entrepreneurial mechanics have
    the right motivation to start their own business
    but lacks in the technical knowledge department.
    Providing excellent repair and other auto related
    services are something that every customer
    demands either he is at your shop to simply
    change oil or something big like complex
    transmission overhauls. The demand for an auto
    business is ever increasing with the number of
    drivers you can see on the road. Lets explore
    some simple tips to start your own auto repair
    shop with ease.

1. Calculate Initial Costs
  • You need to calculate every possible costs you
    can incur on the course of running your business.
    Consider the start-up costs like the garage
    construction, contractors fees, property tax
    liens, mortgage costs, etc. It is better to hire
    a commercial construction contractor to estimate
    your major costs from the construction till the
    actual operation phase.

2. Relevant Legalities
  • You have a number of different options to
    start-up your business. Consider opening as a
    limited liability company (LLC). Let suppose you
    have to close down your business due to some
    unfortunate events, in this case you will be
    protected from personal liability before paying
    off your start-up costs. To legally register for
    an LLC, you need to draft and file required
    articles with the Secretary of States office of
    the state you are residing in, along with the
    filling fee.

3. Get a Reliable Contractor
  • You need to work with a local construction
    contractor to build your garage. Look for an
    experienced contractor who had worked on building
    auto repair shops from ground up. This is
    especially helpful for entrepreneurs who lacks
    experience and knowledge in auto industry.

4. A Nice Location
  • Take a thorough time out to look for a nice
    location and do not rush to finalize just to get
    your business started out of excitement. Look for
    alternatives and go for the most suitable one. It
    is best if the location resides in a crowded
    residential zone and should be visible enough to
    attract majority of the drivers easily.

5. Auto Equipment
  • You have a nice location and garage at your
    disposal, now is the time to fill up your garage
    with the required equipment and tools. Purchase
    equipment like car lifts, air compressors,
    pressure washers, etc. and other items that are
    permanently fixed. If the budget constraint is an
    influencing factor then buy used items to reduce
    your initial purchasing costs. Whereas if you are
    looking to buy new items from large retailers
    then you can ask for price discounts in order to
    build long term supplier partnership. When
    shopping used equipment, do observe keenly they
    are in fine working condition. Never put your
    employee safety at risk just because of a good
    purchase deal.

6. Obtain Permit and License
  • Get the required permit and business license if
    mandated by your Secretary of States office in
    your country. Simply contact the County Clerks
    office for details of business permit
    requirements and related correspondences.
