and it has been GREAT! All the advice given is very good, my business relied on word of mouth for a long time...and my shop has continued to outlive the competition. Find two or three parts vendors you really like and give them all of your business...in the long haul they will treat you really well because you are not a "price shopper". Do not let a car leave your shop with an unpaid bill unless you want to be unpaid. It doesn't matter how nice the people are or how well they know you, if they are really nice people they pay when they get their car. Remember to go home at night.... Charge what your work is worth, not what the mass merchandiser discount stores charge. There are very few good repair shops, and even fewer techs who are proud of a job well done. Charge accordingly. The best customers want their car fixed right the first time and they want it to stay fixed. They will pay for that . Don't fall victim to price shoppers----they eat your profit. And---this is more important than most shop owners realize--keep your place clean and neat and new looking---do not surround your shop with dead cars. best of luck----jim
