Thinking of establishing an auto shop

**smartarvin** · August 22nd, 2006 10:16 AM

Hey guys,

Hi Mods, I don't know if this is the right section to post it but I really need help of the people here. I work for a Japanese company. My boss would like to establish an auto shop here and I was ask to research. The way I see it, we have two option, 1. Buy-out and existing auto maintenance shop or 2. build one from the groud-up.

I need help kung may kilala kayo na nagbebenta ng knailang pwesto/talyer. Have to be well equipt (vehicle lifter) around 5-8 car bays. Preferebly in Las Pinas, Pasay, Makati or Mandaluyong.

Or if you know suppliers of the following equiptment;

1. Vehicle Lifters ( yung hydralic)
2. Machine for allignment
3. Machine for Balancing
4. Tire remover

Thanks in advance.

Sir ano ba ang linya ng jap nyo ng company (o sariling negosyo ng boss mo?)

Kung ordinary na auto shop lang kasi ang gusto mo palagay ko ay medyo marami ka ng kalaban....roadside talyers plus the branded serviteks ek-ek.

Ang isuggest mo na lang ay SPECIALTY auto shop...TUNERS baga....specialize in engine upgrades, blue printing, turboing, ecu reprograming, suspension upgrade, body stiffening (stitch welding) and others the specialize works sa auto.

If your price ng ganitong services ay affordable and realistic, mas madali kang makikilala and gain more clients...even not racers would rather have their cars tuned by a racer.

Tapos why would you need a 5 to 8 car bays if your mechanic on hand could not handle even 1 or 2? So dapat before you jump into this eh merun ka ng mechanic na part the negosyo (not just a paid employee).

Mahirap din na marami kang nakafocus - tires, engines, suspension, body shop - lalo na kung starting pa lang kayo.

Just my 2 cents.

Tsaka dapat meron kayong kakaiba na product na kayo lang ang meron para maghit ang auto shop niyo.
I agree dapat paunti unti lang muna..

wow maraming pera boss mo

tingin ko pinaka-feasible is to buy an existing shop na. medyo mahirap pag startup ng bagong shop. dami iko-consider, mga mekaniko, tao, etc. siguraduhin lang na yung mabibili na existing shop may magandang reputation.

Dapat alam nyo din gumawa. Ang kagandahan kasi pag may knowledge kayo sa mga sasakyan kahit layasan kayo ng mga mekaniko tuloy pa rin ang business nyo.

Sir, part kami ng Hitachi Transport Group---- Import, Export customs brokerage service talagang linya namin. Kaso mahina bus. kaya were looking into other services na pwedeng gawin. Target customer namin ay yung mga Jap companies din dito sa Metro.

Suggest ko nga din na we focus on one aspect tapos sub-con muna namin yung iba... unti-unting kuhanin.

If this pushes thru sir, I would appreciate reccomendation na mga mekanikong magaling. Medyo strict nga lang kami dito sa kumpanya kasi mga hapon bossing... mahigpit sa oras saka ma-ingay. But first things, first - b\help naman sa paghanap ng supplier. Baka may alam kayo nag-susuply ng mga makina
