Oil Changes, tune-ups, brakes, inspections, and any other service your shop offers or is thinking of offering. Menu pricing, seasonal specials, maintenance services and other services.
Hi-tech cars need hi-tech equipment. Need advice on purchasing diagnostic equipment, tire machines, shop tools, etc..? General Tools and Equipment discussions.
We provide major equipment and some specialty tools, but for the most part, the technicians are responsible for providing their own tools. Having said that, Offering a spiff or a bonus of a credit on the tool truck can be a great incentive to increase performance or productivity. Especially for a tech in his first few years trying to build up their tool collection.
Wow, 55 Year in Business, That's an accomplishment!
...with that amount of years, your business is a land mark for the city/town where you live.
Your business is 55 years old, I am 52 years old and my business is 10 years old.
We have had our ups and downs but I started this business from scratch..
I don't considered myself a mechanic since I did not go to school for that. I am an Entrepreneur/accountant that got retrained 10 years back to do Brakes & Suspension work.
...and Yes, I come from a family of Mechanics, I just did not enjoyed it when I was young, now I loved it
It's harder for a younger business to even consider the thought of competing with a 55 year old.
HOW?
The business itself has it's path and journey, at that age of a business, somebody will come through the front door, it could be minor activity or a lot of it.
Now reaching goals and owner's expectation is something totally different!
Congratulation I just hope one day our business can reach to that age, and that would be up to my kids...
Hi! I got a bunch of engine and cabin filters - leftovers from my store. What's the best way to get rid off the inventory? eBay sales are slow and not an option due to the time it takes to list a filter and due to expensive cost of shipping.
Many thanks in advance,
Mike
