I’m Losing My Shop

In early July 2021 I learned that my shop was being sold to a new owner. As a result, I’ll need to move if I want to keep going. In this video I share the details of that situation and what I plan to do about it.
This isn’t the first time I’ve lost my shop. You might remember what happened at my last one. This is very different and I’m grateful for that.
Wish me luck. Hopefully the new shop will work out. In the mean time, keep watching and subscribing. Every little bit helps me keep all this going.
Thanks for watching!

I remember drama with your last land lord wanting to take all your tools and you handled that great. Glad to hear the new owner is being cool with you. And I'm sure you'll handle the next upgrade just as well. The world is upgrading you yet again. And couldn't wish it on a better guy! 5k square feet! That's amazing!

The best changes in my life were the ones I had no control over. Sometimes circumstances push us outside our comfort zone and we look back and realize it was all meant to be. I know that doesn’t help short term, but I remember that tiny little garage you started out in, and how far you’ve gone since. Put the word out and I guarantee you will have a lot of moving help.

To you guys who came to enjoy unwanted changes, maybe in your old life you were too clingy to your old stuff and old ways. In business life you shouldnt spend much time climbing obstacles, rather work around them, or like i did earlier this year with great success: Take several steps back and find a new road, while still milking the profit from the original road. All roads will eventually come to a halt, expansion of the business is the best workaround.

Moving is definitely one of the most stressful times in one’s life. After 10 years in the shop you’re in, it’s tough to say goodbye. At the same time, the prospects of moving into a bigger shop is exciting though, but dealing with the logistics is perhaps where most of the stress is. Best of luck, Eric! Perhaps 3rd time in new digs is the charm?

It sounds like things are going to work out for you, I wish you all the best and hope things go smooth for you. It might be a good time to take inventory and decide what to focus on. The last time I had a big move I took about a week to organize and label/pack things properly and in the right order and it made things go a lot quicker on moving day.

Stressful times it'll all come together Eric. You'll sort it, good news from new landlord. Looking forward to seeing the new place and you moving on. Shame about the upheaval but it'll likely work out better in the end.

Eric you deserve much more subscribers than you have, you are a genuine guy working hard showing us how to repair and do stuff on our own car. Moving is one of my least favorite things to do.All will come to getter eventually, and very nice of your landlord to be on your side, which is terrific, it not always goes that way. Good luck take care of yourself.Thank you for all the videos !

Has it really been 10 years that you've been in that shop, wow really time does fly when you're having fun. I remember watching your videos from back in the old shop when I first became a sub of yours. I had no idea it's been that long!

I can’t believe it’s been ten years already! I remember watching your move into this shop back then. I’ll be sad to see it go but I’m sure it will just mean bigger and better things for you. Don’t be afraid to ask us for help when it comes time to move - I know I’d be happy to come down from North Dakota to help for a couple days if I can, it would be an honor!

That’s great that moving is working out but I get that packing and moving is a challenge. I move from California to Washington State. What I did was make several trips. I have a 20’ car trailer that has stake pockets so I used 2X6s and plywood to create sides. I bought some 55 gal poly barrels and put all my tools into them based on my ability to unload them. I had a 12 ton winch on the front of the trailer which helped load and unload them via straps. No Damage happened. I had a large compressor and my engine hoist helped there. Anyway I made it. I’ve never been commercial but am a car guy. I had welders wood working tools etc. did 90% by my self and was in my late 60s. In my 70s now so may rethink it if it comes up again😳 it can be done but your ahead of the game with a fork lift and help. Good luck.

7 years ago my mechanic friend had to move from his shop, they didn’t even give him 30 days. He sold a car and bought a moving truck. We packed it very carefully, “to the gills”. He made a cradle/cart with big casters to pack the lift parts on. It had a Tommy lift gate but the only way to get the lift on the truck was to put most of the lift cart on the Tommy lift and lift the end with a cherry picker as the Tommy lift went up. His shop remained in that truck for 6 years, just moving in to a space last year. What a nightmare! I don’t envy you, but congratulations on what sounds like an upgrade.
