Car traffic on city streets is growing inexorably, and the need for high-quality and timely transport service is growing exponentially. Therefore, opening a service station is a highly liquid and quite profitable business, but it is very important at the initial stage to do everything right and not make offensive mistakes.
First, register a legal entity, since individual entrepreneurs in this field of activity cause distrust among clients. After registration, select the direction of further work, a narrow profile. Dealer cars are serviced in special authorized service centers, so you should not rely on them. The best choice is a narrow-profile workshop, for example, only body repairs or repairs of turbines and engines, so that customers contact you with a specific problem.
Secondly, select a room suitable for a service station. In this matter, it all depends only on your budget. For a small service department, an insulated garage box is suitable, the main thing is that there is enough space for the necessary equipment. But location in the industrial area of the city or near a gas station will be of higher priority. When choosing a location for a future car service, do not forget to take into account all sanitary standards, especially for nearby residential facilities and water bodies. Pay special attention to resolving issues with fire authorities and traffic police.
Make proper repairs in the chosen room, because few people want to give their "swallow" to an old and shabby garage. Purchase and install equipment depending on the selected service profile. Most likely, you will have to make inspection pits, install a lift, diagnostic equipment and purchase locksmith tools. If you will provide body repair services, then purchase painting and drying equipment.
Hire competent and experienced staff with experience in the car service industry. If employees do not have sufficient qualifications and skillful hands, then no expensive equipment will be able to compensate for this. The pay of the workers is entirely at your discretion, but remember that more experienced foremen should receive more interns. Also, it will not be superfluous to establish contacts with suppliers of spare parts in order to provide customers with the necessary parts in a timely manner.
