Well do your basic maintinance, brakes, belts, oil changes, coil over installs, and eventually maybe even custom piping for exhaust and intakes... just cheking to see if theres a market for this.. what me and my buddies want is a nissan and toyota shop...


any input will be appreciated... thanks

I usually do most of my own work on my car...

BUT... my office is located in Downey, and if you opened a shop, I'd be down to support / loiter / gawk at other cool 240s!




but japanese motor swaps is where the business is at.

they seem real shady,
my friend bought a 95 240 there. it was a piece, they told her it was a good deal, they even offered some kind of warrenty to her, when we called to talk to them to call them on the stuff we found/didn't find they were always "busy" and they'd "call her back"

anyways.

if you were to open a shop that would be cool, a spot to go hang out. get some work done if needed, meets, bbq's, ect.. i'd support.

how soon were you looking to get it?

lol I appreciate the responses but it seems like u guys want a hang out more than u need work done lol althogh it would be cool to have that as a hang out.. im gonna wait for more responses then talk to my buddies see what they think if worste comes to worst maybe well just sell parts...


well we need to get a business license then find a supplier which want like 1 years worth of business it takes time

dOMEmE

WOW! im not the only one that thinks that place is super sketchy!!! that place has sketch written all over it!!!


anyways as far as your shop, i agree with everyone, you should do more "custom" or technical stuff that your average joe cant do....just my 2cents...

I LUV MY S13

DAMN..i have never noticed this spot before..and i drive out there often ha

open a shop that does swaps..arent too many reliable ones in the area

dude every single time ive driven by that shop its been closed, i thought it was a chop shop of some sort, shit looked mad sketchy just drivin by made me not trust that place...

as for your shop, what if you just got a shit ton of lifts and charged people to use them since so many people fix their own cars
Then open like 1 or 2 lifts for yourself, so that people that dont want to work on their cars you can work on them and charge them.....just a thought, thats what i would do

270R

ya will do..


that lift suggestion seemed like good idea..

jspeedm

there used to be a shop in the IE that did that. they rented out their lifts by the hour, and you had to bring your own tools. it's actually a really good idea. it cuts down on employee costs, but the liability is also very high. even with a signed wavier.
