How to open a car modification workshop? Pls share
-
Hi Guys,
I wonder anyone of you here operates a modification workshop,
or knows something about starting a business in this automotive line.
As a car lover myself. I wish to invest on a modification factory. As I have an interest in that business. May I know what are the criterias? i.e: cost and how much about modification do the boss himself needs to know? Personally I am a IT student. I do not have much knowledge about modification. If i hired a worker to handle my business, he will surely play me around his finger. How do i start out? Do i really need to start out working in one garage first to gain experience?
I hope someone in this line could help me out.
Pls private msg me, i don't think you wish to disclose to much to the public right?
Anyone share?
Btw, post are welcome for comments.
Thank you. -
Btw, I am also interested to invite partnership with someone to operate the business with me. Preferably someone who is in this line and has the knowledge of car modifications, who is currently working under someone who wishes to be his own boss. Pls let me know so we can discuss about it. Interested party pls e-mail me at: [email protected]
Thank you. -
i always dreamed of starting a company for car modification. or work for companys like fong mui garage.
maybe another few more years when i done my poly -
take a course from ITE first. you should know some technical stuff relating to the car biz before you embark forward. this way, your mechanics can't fool you much.

true...but now working and i believe the course will take a long time.Originally posted by tiggersgd:take a course from ITE first. you should know some technical stuff relating to the car biz before you embark forward. this way, your mechanics can't fool you much.
actually i dont really wish to go into details.
just a brief knowledge will do.
at least i do not need to know how to do, all i need to know is what they are doing.
cool?

not to be a cold blanket but you do need to know the basics.

start by dismantling ur dad's car and fixing everything back in place... that'll help...
a lot of aspects to look into...
1)parts shipment lobang... where to get goods... if u stock up, u're bound to eat grass...
2)spray paint lobang... u know of anyone with cheap and good work and facilities?
3)pricing and recognition... u have to do a few cars urself and do ur own company catalogue...
4)location...
5)if u have not even sharted and know nuts bout this field, i guess it's not even gonna work out... unless u're filthy rich and hire someone who's willing to work UNDER u, not 50-50... -
I don't kinda agree. You don't have to be an expert in cars to be a boss or investor of a company. I rather you be alittle knowledge in modding cars and be expertise in running your business. Why? COS its more important in managing your business well and smooth rather than concentrating on fixing cars when your workers are suppose to do those. Whats the difference if you are doing your worker's job and working as a mechanic in a garage? And then, who is going to manage you business?
Defintely, a little knowledge do helps but you can learn while running your business. It's more important to hire the right kind of workers that can be trusted. It's hard but you have to lose some to gain some. That's part of a risk you have to take.
Research reseach and more research should help alot. Concentrate more on your plans rather than learning from basic. It's a waste of time. Learn while you work. Seek advice from professionals. Get accurate details of where to get the best for your company.
If you need some help, i suggest you getting inspiring books on starting a business, i recommend "Clueless in starting a business" by May Lwin, Adam Koo. Its written and based local. lots of inspiring storys and advices for those who wants to make big in starting their business.
I'm actually planning to startup a small business and a garage have actually been in my list. Unfortuantely, a garage is way too costly for me to handle.
Lastly, have the passion. Go for what you want and stop wasting time. Go do your own research and stuffs.
That's my piece of advice. Listen if you want to.

You don't have to know everything to be a boss.
All you need to know are fundamental things in that trade.
What important is the boss need to know what the workers knows.
Can't let them outsmart ya?
It's true that we need field experience than just drawing a plan in our brain.
We need to know where to get our parts, best way is to consign.
Do not stock too much parts.
Market my brand?
Recognition, etc etc
Plenty to achieve.
But who start out without 'DREAMING'?
Wake up to those ppl who think they can't achieve dreams...
You need to dream to dare! -
