Save that money. Dont even think of starting a business until you go to college. You have no idea what youre wanting to get yourself into.

Why don't you start by being a MAN, pay for your own college " My daddy...."



You obviously have no clue on how to run a shop if you are asking advice from non-shop owners. Stick to school tough guy.

Ok, if my previous post got you mad for the quick sec after you read it and you wanted to go back and write something back so everyone could see etc... that means you need to work on other things as well.



Maturity level is very important. You will be dealing with all types of customers and the most important thing in any shop (as we all know) is customer service skills. You better make sure you are open minded and able to handle all situations.



We all know that just ONE bad experience can put your business in trouble. You will have to learn to motivate your team/employee/s and also correct them if there is something you do not like.



KD has proved that once someone trusts you, they will send you their 15K ride and never meet you or even see your shop. That proves that location as well as having a 'high tech' shop does not matter. But back to keeping the customers happy, a few customers commented on their work and things they did not like and all of a sudden things change.



Start small, many of the new shops in NY have started small. Smokinjoeracing has been dealing with rotaries for over 10 years before he decided to go all out and open a big shop, that was smart thinking. He knew he had his clients and then took it from there.



Same thing with T and R Racing, they started small, 2 guys, Tony and Romeo. Now they branched out into 2 shops. TristateAutosports is now Romeo's.



I'll tell you that running a shop is NOT easy but if you take care of your customers and are honest you will be ok. One mistake and it will cost you dearly.

ya know, i did want to respond back to the post, but to be honest, i made the thread, and then sent a PM to the people i knew. or thought, owned a shop and asked them for their advice on the matter.
