great to hear shop is rented!

i have a lot of stuff i can send your way if you are looking for work.


a few recomendations:

charge 2x what you think is fair
you will get Fucked 1 out of every 10 jobs, accept it.
do not be afraid to say "no, we dont do that"
do not be afraid to outsource and make 40%
mark up 40% on any parts you get from arie / zone / advance
be clear cash only
fix your mistakes at all cost
60$ / hr for clean metal / fabrication / new lift kit installs
80-90$/hr for shit rotten jeep work
do not do work for anyone you work with

Yeah if you have customers who you are not quoting I would definitely be interested. Shop is on South Goodman in Rochester.

Please continue to remind me of the advice you listed above. I can see how each one of those is essential.

Whats the thing you use the most that I need to stock that I don't have and wont think of? I know I want to stock brake line, fuel line, random exhaust sizes.

Step one: clean and lube the ever loving crap out of the rim clamps.  We do ours monthly or they'll set up.
