Overmind 10 Posted May 22, 2013 Hi guys. Im looking at starting my own business as a mechanic in Essex and openeing my own workshop. I've created a very quick questionnaire to get a bit of market research from other like minded enthusiasts before I take my ambitions any further. If you could answer all eight questions honestly and then click the 'Finish survey' button at the bottom of the page that would be great. Click me Thankyou very much.

Critical_Mass 10 Posted May 23, 2013 Done. Good luck! Just to note, the cost per hour is not related to quality of work/service. ie cheaper doesn't mean worse quality of work/service. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

emu 0 Posted May 23, 2013 Done One advice for further business. Don't call yourself a mechanic, be a mechanic. Why I am fixing cars by myself, because I'm not a mechanic and I know more than most of people calling themselves mechanics. Why I am not taking my car to specialist qualified garages when mechanics know what they are doing. Because they are to expensive and I can't understand how they can charge 40-60 quin an hour. Life example. me - Hi I would like to change suspension in my corrado for coilovers. garage - Ok me- how much garage - 50 quid per corner me - is that including wheel alignment garage - no, it will be 60 pounds extra per axle me - ok, thank you Well, honestly 200 pounds + extra for alignment it's way to much but I might be a cheap skate :D Ended up doing it myself and it took me 2,5h and payed only for wheel alignment. Of course you have to buy tools and spend your time and have a place to do it but I saved myself 200 quid in 2,5 h. Honestly if they would ask 100 pounds all in I would go for it and it is still giving them 40 pounds/hour. I would like to earn 40 quid/hour. I realize you have to pay tax and all the bills from that money but you still ending up earning fair money. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
