How about opening a car body panel repair shop now?

This problem involves many aspects. I have been in the automotive aftermarket for nearly 20 years, and I am dealing with friends in the auto repair industry every day.

Our customers include: auto repair shop, tire shop, beauty decoration shop, vocational and technical college, army and so on. And we have also witnessed many friends in the auto repair industry becoming bigger and stronger step by step. Of course, there are also stops or turns.

Originally, the year before last should have been a period of small explosion and small growth in the auto repair industry. The epidemic has had a great impact, resulting in many used car maintenance equipment on the market now. We all know why.

According to my observation of friends in the auto repair industry for so many years, there are two main types: those who do well and those who make money have been expanding:

In the first category, a friend of mine worked as a master in a 4S shop in a second-tier city BYD for seven or eight years, and then came out to open his own shop in a county-level city; There is also a friend who also repairs cars first. I once worked as a service manager of four domestic brands, and then opened a shop in this city.

Their choices are basically the same. They are all three storage areas, equipped with two cranes, and opened after simple decoration. That friend is in a county-level city, similar to a small auto repair shop. After all, the county is not on the main road. Are there many empty parking spaces ahead?

Friends who set up shops in the city chose the shops on the main road, which are basically the mode of quick repair shops. There are many residential areas nearby. Of course, there are two tire shops, a so-called beauty care shop and five shops on that road.

In recent years, the above two friends have successively expanded nearby shops and acquired equipment.

Friends in the county have successively acquired repair equipment such as spray booth and beam corrector. He seems to be in good shape. He basically leaves all the repairs to his people, and he even goes to the gym at night. It is not covered in oil as everyone thinks, but a terrible image. Not bad, is it?

Of course, my friends in big cities only do quick repairs, but the equipment configuration is like that on the surface. Customers who need tire, beauty and exterior painting can find peers to outsource.

After the customer approves you, everything related to the car can be assured to you. The premise is that you must know the price of these and find your own reliable outsourcing unit, not too expensive. It is still possible to make a difference.

The above two friends started their businesses in their twenties and thirties. They are really young and strong, and they are well integrated into the group with the car owners after 80 s and 90 s as the main body. Both of them are really smart people. Make friends with customers sincerely, don't think about buying and selling with one hammer.

It's actually very important. After all, they come from 4S stores. Although they are all domestic brand 4S stores, they are better than those traditional auto repair bosses who started their business more than 20 years ago in terms of customer reception, answering questions, site specification and employee motivation.

The second one, that friend, is very powerful. Twenty years ago, he worked as a maintenance worker and a small supervisor in a 4S shop. In 2005, he and another friend in the same shop went to a famous auto repair club. He is the general manager and his friend is in charge of workshop affairs. Both partners are doing well and business is booming.

At that time, investors were basically in charge, but they accounted for most of the shares. Three years later, the two partners came out to start their own business. When they started, they didn't have enough money. If they can save money, they also found me. They hope that the equipment can be paid in installments. The boss thought it was too risky, but he didn't agree. Until now, he has been cooperating with his competitors.

Since the two partners started their own luxury car club, so far, they have opened five self-operated high-end car maintenance clubs in this city, including the county seat, and imported their own RV. He himself became the president of the Urban Maintenance Association.

To sum up, this friend knows how to operate and is a good man. I talked to him at that time, and he said that the customer base is mainly the rich second generation after 1980s, so we should make friends with these people and grow together.

A group of my brothers came out of their previous company to start a business together. What impressed me the most was that I once bought a slightly higher-end device. I am willing to spend money to send an employee to the factory for training, but I don't want to train a master at all. I thought the master would quit after learning the technology, which was a waste of money.

Having said so much above, I have actually answered my friends' questions.

You said that you have been engaged in automobile maintenance 10 years, mostly engaged in mechanical and electrical maintenance, with rich experience. Therefore, opening a quick repair shop is the most suitable for your current situation.

In terms of the use of funds, rent three storefronts, preferably the attic, for customers to rest, as well as supplies and accessories.

Then install scissors elevator (four-wheel maintenance, oil change and other aspects are faster and safer), occupying the storefront space;

A two-train elevator (small scissors will block a large part of the bottom of the car) also occupies a berth.

Another shop suggested setting tire disassembly and dynamic balance. Car washing is not recommended, which consumes too much energy and has little drainage effect.

Simple decoration, plus the equipment mentioned just now, some consumables and accessories, more than 100 thousand is enough.

300 thousand, to be honest, you can also open a repair shop with a location of several hundred square meters.

However, I still suggest, first of all, don't covet perfection. You don't have any reserves Now, the only core competitiveness is yourself. I suggest you find a place where the community is concentrated and open a community quick repair shop.

Quick repair shop

It's not easy to fight unarmed. I think it makes sense. Please keep it. Niu Lao will continue to share the dry goods in the automotive aftermarket!
