I know this is obvious, but try to get as low of total overhead costs as possible. That usually interferes with a great location but here's the deal,
Once you open a fixed location shop you have by default just become a
production shop.
Nothing wrong with that just saying...
Now here's why, for easy discussion, lets use simple numbers. Say your total overhead is $1000.00 a month.
You want to work 5 days a week. That means you need to make $50.00 a day profit to pay overhead. That's just for overhead.
If one day you have no cars, that means for at least 2 of those days you need to make $100.00 a day profit to pay overhead.
None of the above includes taxes, your income and everything else, just shop overhead.
The effect this has is to make you buff and detail
anything that drives onto your lot. That includes a way-cool Ferrari or an even cooler Town & Country Van.
Even one of these...
So try to balance location with overhead...
Wishing you success!
