Wash wax, detail, maintnence plans, warrantee’s,selling of related merchandise, franchising, cooperative relationship planning with other local stores that sell related merchandise. IE: Auto Parts, Kneckts…what have you. Far as doing anything not car related it would seem out of place and concidering the nature of a mechanic shop, selling anything that needs to be “clean” would go against all expectation and maybe might find a nitch market as a novalty auto repair center but over all would not bring in any cash.
Oh by CRP I mean you maintain that company’s brand named rigs, in exchange for advertising and a lower rate on parts, they get free repair. Since they maintain those rigs well usually and they are not used that much except for events..its a win win situation. You pay less for what you need, and get more customers, they get cars that run reliably and if they break down they know where to take them, you know those cars and so can fix them very fast for a high turn over rate boosting your rep with them and in town.
The ole saying is “stick with what you know.” Besides repairs, I think cleaning and detailing would be a good “side” job. I have known a couple guys who made a living from cleaning/detailing cars (including many rich folks) especially during the summer months. I even knew a couple guys who didn’t have a “shop” but had a trailer they pulled to different locations in the city on different days and would detail the cars while the folks were at work, then deliver them to the customers when done. They even had a portable generator to power their equipment. Seemed they were always busy.
I HATE CARS EXCEPT PORSCHE AND FERARRI BECAUSE WHEN THEY BREAK YOU, AND THEY WILL, YOU HURT REALLY BAD, WORK MORE HOURS IF YOU HAVE A JOB TO PAY FOR PARTS UNLESS YOU CAN AFFORD PSYCHOTIC MAINTAINENCE COSTS , OR ARE TOO OLD TO SEE OVER THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN YOU FINALLY CAN AFFORD THAT F430 OR GT-2 TWIN TURBO,AND CAN’T HOLD A WRENCH TO STAY ON TOP OF THEM…..BUT ALL THE TEARS DRY,AND BANKRUPCY ISN’T SO BAD IF YOU SOME HOW GET TO KEEP THE FRICKIN CARS AND FEEL THE BUZZ WHEN YOU START THE ENGINE AND DRIVE THEM! OTHERWISE YOU GO TO THE GRAVE WISHING YOU COULD FEEL ANY THING BUT A SECOND JOB BECAUSE 52% OF AMERICANS ARE EMPLOYED PART TIME UNDER 30K PER YR. MOST UNDER 20K …NEAR POVERTY THANKS TO OVOMIT THE HUN AND ALL THOSE DC REGULATIONS, TAXES,LICENSES,INSPECTION FEES AND STIMULATIONS AND SEQUESTERS AND LIES THAT SOUND AND LOOK LIKE PROGRESS IF YOU DRANK THE COOL AID! 99% OF ALL ON LINE BUSINESSES ARE LUCKEY TO SEE 300 A MONTH IN INCOME WITH 5K INVESTED AND THATS PROJECTED NOT GARANTEED!
