Personally, I think Loz is wasting his life. In my opinion he should open a Maserati Indie. I think he would be guaranteed enough customers just from the help and advice he has given to all us lot
Awe shucks guys , but funny you should say that , been a idea of mine for some time as Matt will know , toying with the idea for some years now with opening up 3 fully equipped ferrari style workshops all in one big unit but seperate and independant of each other , to hire out to Supercar enthusisasts , many of which are able and capable of servicing their own cars if only they had the right conditions to do so , we all know that the servicing kits for these cars filters belts oils etc amount to less than £200 but they are often hit with bills in excess of £1000 at a dealer or £700 ish at an indie,
All ready sounded out the local mobile mechanics , who think its a great idea , as they turn down quite a few major jobs each week through lack of premises and conditions , if they could factor in a days hire they could increase there work load one could always offer a contract rate to regular users
It was my idea to hire out the workshops for around £100 for an 8 hour period , whether for servicing or major repairs as they would be fully equipped with 4 post hydraulic lifts , oil drainage facility, hoists compressors welding machines air tools etc together with a complete and comprehensive set of sockets/spanners all for each individual workshop
I could offer at the same time for maserati's 4200 and Gransports to do straight servicing and brake /exhaust changes and minor repairs including F1 pumps
Took me a while to find an insurance company liability wise that would take the idea on , as it has never been done before , but i could see this long term as a good comfortable return money wise but not a vast fortune maker , unless one was to Franchise it out , i have already 2 years ago secured several domain names my favourite and most likely rentobay.co.uk
Really ive been ready to go for sometime , just waiting for the economy to pick up and show a few signs of coming to the fore again , units and location are in abundance in MK and im keeping my eye on several tyre bay/kwiikfit style workshops that seem to be struggling that would be my ideal and easiest to convert , so who knows what might happen
what you reckon guys
regards loz
