When my wife was alive we almost bought a shop.Had the deal done but the owner got cold feet and backed out.In retrospect i am glad we didn't get it.

From 02-05’ I owned & operated a mobile repair shop...pulled around a 14x7’ trl-with tools,air compressor,jacks & jack stands.
Only worked on people’s vehicles that I knew & ones that I was referred to. mostly off-road equipment (tractors,doziers,excavators,cotton pickers,etc..)
But had a small fleet of mobile Equine Vetenarians I serviced as well. Didn’t have to purchase garage keepers insurance/as everything was done in the field

My current workplace made a good offer to come back & I needed better health insurance, also raised my kids alone & needed to be on a consistent schedule for them...don’t rule out doing it again,,,Enjoyed it & money is out there for the earnings,just gotta keep a schedule book together & be prepared to work rain or shine

Plan to do some COD work after I eventually build a garage/workshop & get closer to retirement

Isnt that what insurance is for? With any business, you live or die by your employees.

You got to know what you are doing before you jump in with that. You're swimming with the sharks there.

The guys that do that sort of work. And make money. They are the sharks.

From my limited experience.

Yeah the guy has been doing restorations forever. I wouldnt open up a restoration shop. I have zero skills. The only thing Ive restored were VW Bugs with my dad and brother growing up, if that counts. Well, we just rebuilt them and had a shop paint them so I guess that doesnt count..lol
