What do roadside auto repair shops rely on to make money? (How do auto repair shops make money? )

Those seemingly inconspicuous auto repair shops on the roadside, in fact, you have to really understand the future way of making money behind them, which makes you dumbfounded and profitable.

My cousin used to do real estate sales in Chengdu, Sichuan, and earned about100000 after a hard year. Later, after being introduced, I talked about a daughter-in-law from my hometown. After talking for two years, it's time to talk about marriage. My wife's family hopes that he can return to his hometown to develop.

My cousin was reluctant at first. After all, he has worked in Chengdu for five or six years and is familiar with the region and contacts. Let him go back to his hometown suddenly, it is estimated that he will be a little uncomfortable.

But then I thought wandering outside was never a problem, and finally I decided to go home.

After returning to my hometown, my cousin also found several jobs, but they didn't last long. Later, I hesitated and decided to learn a trade, so I found a mechanic and became an apprentice with him.

My cousin has been an apprentice for about two years, and after discussing with his wife, he decided to open an auto repair company. So with the support of my wife, the auto repair company was set up on a roadside, so it opened.

It's only been three years now, and my cousin has become a boss himself. He bought a Mercedes-Benz and a villa in our city and became the envy of everyone.

I am also full of curiosity, so there is not much business in a small auto repair shop on the roadside. What do you make money from?

Later, I was at the dinner table with my cousin. Under my repeated questioning, my cousin finally revealed the channels for making money behind this humble business.

After all, it is an auto repair shop, so the orientation of the shop from the beginning is to repair cars. Because the road where my cousin's shop is located is also busy, there are many people coming and going, and his billboard is also conspicuous and distinctive, which also attracts many people to come to consult and repair the car.

In terms of auto repair, the most basic thing is to touch up the paint. Generally, 300 yuan can earn a 200 yuan for a painting.

Sometimes, if the owner has an accident and the car collides, it is not just as simple as painting. At this time, it is necessary to carry out sheet metal, and even the bumper that has been hit badly needs to be replaced.

Or for some novices, the driving skills are not good enough, and they often hit the curb, and the tires will be damaged and need to be replaced.

In fact, these fees are relatively higher, so the profits are also greater.

If you need a trailer in some remote areas, you can earn some extra income.

Generally speaking, the maintenance cost and profit of different parts of the car are different. Generally speaking, there is a gross profit of about 50%.

The store also undertakes car maintenance, so the profit will be much higher. Most of them are about changing the oil, washing the car and testing whether there are any problems with the car. It takes a short time, but the profit is still considerable.

For example, for an ordinary Korean car, the cost of primary maintenance is in 500 yuan, so the profit in the store can be 300 yuan or a little more.

Therefore, in order to attract more customers to maintain vehicles, the store often launches some card-handling activities, including discounts or car wash services.

As long as the service attitude in the store is in place and the price is relatively moderate, the return rate of old customers is endless, and there is no need to develop new customers.

Nowadays, many people will improve after buying a car, so they are generally customized and the cost is relatively high.

Then there is selling auto parts, piecemeal, and the income is ok.

For example, some car owners think that the light is halogen, which is not bright enough, and he may change the LED light. Or some car owners have a weak sense of direction, and there are many blind spots on the right side of the front of the car, which often leads to scratching. So in order to avoid this situation, many car owners will install panoramic cameras. These spare parts are relatively cheap, but the retail price is actually quite high, which is also used as a supplementary income in the store.

After all, auto parts are not like other things. Even if you buy it from the internet, it may not be installed. Many car owners are troublesome and will go to the store to buy and install if necessary.

Car owners often go to the store to complain to their cousins that car insurance is getting more and more expensive, and no familiar people buy it. Sometimes when the car is in danger, the owner is unfamiliar with all aspects of the process and doesn't know who to look for. Finally, he spent a lot of money.

I've heard a lot. My cousin thinks this is an opportunity. Every year the car will buy insurance, which is just needed. As long as you buy him cost-effective insurance according to the owner's needs, then the owner will definitely buy it through his own channels.

After thinking of this method, my cousin did it. He found an insurance company and became its agent. After knowing all kinds of auto insurance in detail, I opened the insurance part of the store.

One of the main reasons why my cousin did this is actually to provide extra services for car owners, add value to his main business and earn a little money as the daily expenses of the store.

Because my cousin is not here for the purpose of making money, he provides a lot of advice and convenience for car owners, and more and more people are looking for my cousin to buy auto insurance.

Even some of them are not customers in the store, but are introduced by friends. And after getting familiar with it, some of their car maintenance was also chosen in my cousin's shop. Therefore, the business in my cousin's shop is getting better and better.

From the beginning, my cousin talked with my cousin. My cousin is in charge of business and my cousin is in charge of maintenance. Slowly, the couple continued to operate, not only enthusiastic at ordinary times, but also thoughtful service, and gradually formed a reputation. More and more people are introduced, and business is booming. Later, when they were too busy, they hired a mechanic and a salesman. Now, a small garage has been made into a chain brand by my cousin, and there are many franchise stores in our county.

Cousin and sister-in-law have survived the initial hardships through their efforts in recent years and now live a happy life. The family has bought a car and a villa, and the children have been sent abroad to study.

Cousin also told me meaningfully that behind every glamorous, there is unspeakable pain, but as long as you take the right path, do a good job in business, don't be lazy and sum up more, then life will always be better.

Many people may despise this kind of work and think that auto repair is bitter and tiring, but in fact, no job is easy and requires no effort. Often the harder you work, the greater your income and profit. Never underestimate these stores. It seems that there is not much business, but there are many business channels behind it.

After listening to my cousin's words, I also have deep feelings. My cousin's success is inseparable from their ideological awareness and hard work. It also makes me respect the auto repair industry and wish them better and better.
