College is NOT Necessary to Launch a Successful Auto Repair Shop

[@nahidhasan1812]

“Why go to the dealer?” EXACTLY!

[@RandyMarshUSA]

Haha

[@SweatVenture]

It's a great business name

[@AliShan-zr6zs]

Being a mechanic is a great trade bc you can apply these skills to different trades your entire life

[@RandyMarshUSA]

That’s right

[@SweatVenture]

Well said

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Gotta freshen this one up for the algorithm. :) Hardest part of starting your own shop is the fear of it not working out. Have to have a business mind set as well as being mechanically inclined to succeed.

[@SweatVenture]

Good point. Most businesses fail in the first 2-3 years. I would ad to "having a business mind set" to be OBSESSED with your business. It takes more than most realize.

[@jhiliksantra-7459]

I would recommend to anyone starting out that they create a business plan. It’s worth your time believe me.

[@RandyMarshUSA]

You have nothing to lose by creating a business plan

[@SweatVenture]

Exactly

[@YouRYourOwnMotivate]

Mark is absolutely correct that word of mouth is the best way to get new clients as a mechanic

[@SweatVenture]

We find that most successful tradesmen and women find most of their business like this.

[@maiathemaj]

It's very inspiring to hear his success story and there's so much to learn from this. Thank you for sharing.

[@SweatVenture]

Happy you could appreciate it!

[@xawi117]

The hardest part about opening an auto shop is getting all of the tools. That being said, you can still get started without everything.

[@SweatVenture]

Yes, you can slowly build a collection of tools and equipment.

[@MostGenericUser]

Yeah I mean if you can find clients you can do it mobile with not many tools and dont even need a shop you'll make good profits too with almost no overhead. Especially if youre just starting out on the side and having people pay cash you can build up money to eventually become more legit. Only issues is liability is high you really need to be careful what jobs you accept in the beginning.

[@learnersaretheearners7876]

What a motivation he is for those who want to be successful in auto repair shop without having any degrees

[@SweatVenture]

100%

[@nsk123456]

[@SweatVenture]

Thanks for your input!

[@amar_abdin]

Great video! I’m going to recommend some family and friends in that area to that shop. I myself have been considering opening a mechanic shop with a friend and hire mechanics just second guessing with today’s market & cars requiring expensive softwares to diagnose/ADAS/Etc.. and with the way the car market is going.

[@SweatVenture]

Thanks for your input, Amar!

[@MostGenericUser]

As an owner youd really want to make sure you understand cars very well even if you dont work on them yourselves and then need a really good trustworthy forman to help you with the actual repair side.

aI also believe that college is NOT necessary to create a very successful mechanic shop, everything in life is a matter of knowing how to use your intelligence without needing a college degree

[@SweatVenture]

Agreed

[@andy_182]

How does he still find the best price on the part while also making on the part? Those are conflicting interests

[@SweatVenture]

He likely uses a mix of strong supplier relationships and bulk purchasing to get parts at a good price while still leaving room for a fair markup. It's all about finding that balance between offering value to the customer and maintaining a profitable business.

[@andy_182]

@@SweatVenturegotcha. That’s great news, I always wondered how the shops did this!

[@bunamondal]

Very nice video....thanks for sharing

[@SweatVenture]

We're glad you liked it!

[@chero1edwin]

Where can I see all requirements to open a shop? What must I obtain to get my shop going? Thank you

[@SweatVenture]

Starting an auto repair shop requires essential equipment such as a vehicle lift, diagnostic tools, air compressors, and a variety of hand and power tools (e.g., wrenches, jacks, and impact drivers). You'll also need a secure, well-ventilated workspace with ample room for vehicles, a reception area for customers, and storage for tools and parts. Securing necessary licenses, insurance, and compliance with local safety and environmental regulations is crucial. Of course, this is just a quick crash-course.

[@chero1edwin]

@ very informative. Got all the tools and location, am a little concerned about the licensing and any permits or documentation required. Thank you

Auto repair businesses can make a ton of money but the liability is high.
