By just under cutting the competition in labor rates and charging just over the %30 state mandatory on parts mark up the customers will come to me . Providing them with honest and up front estimates with no hidden fees at the end of there bill . After doing some research most automotive shops in the area charge anywhere from $100-$170 a hour for labor . To the average working American they can not afford these prices .
A average head gasket replacement job parts and labor costs anywhere from $2300-$3000 depending on the vehicle . I am able to do it for half that and still cover my overhead while also making deposits to the business account .
I have grown up around cars and racing and have first hand knowledge on what the customers expect from there mechanics .
Nothing is more frustrating to a customer when they have to open there savings or retirement fund to get the vehicle fixed .
I definitely have the know how and the knowledge I just need the capital for a larger space , tools and advertising to get my name out there .
