I need some help?

Question

What steps would i have to take and what is required to open my own car customizing shop?

Answer 1

Look for capital and investors. Find a good location. Make a business plan. Call your lawyer and banks for advice and a financial plan. Look into advertising. Find good equipment, not used unless you trust the dealer. Find GOOD trustworthy employees early on. Put it all into action and good luck! Don't forget insurance and any licenses you need.

Answer 2

You have to have a lot of experience and an excellent reputation. For most shops, their business comes by word of mouth. Training from the best in the business doesn't hurt at all...and if you can work with someone revered like Chip Foose, all the better. People will come to you based on your training alone, and stay with you if they like the work you do. And when you work with that much money, satisfied return customers are an excellent thing.

A good relationship with your local high-end car dealers, respected independent mechanics, fast parts suppliers and the local car clubs are all practically pre-requisites.

It takes a long time to do opening your own shop right, but the rewards are enormous.

(Remember, nothing I've suggested includes the practical business end of running a shop...just the stuff that makes people like Chip Foose and West Coast Customs so successful at what they do.

Answer 3

first of all as with any business venture, you need capital (money) for expenses. Like the store/garage, the equipment, the license to operate, and clientele. Gotta cover all these bases, bro, before you even think about customizing anyones car.
