$30,000 Per Month | 1st Year Auto Shop | How I Started

I talk about how I transitioned from my full time job to running my own business with only $2,000-$3,000. We walk through the process of how I started my own business repairing vehicles. I explain the process and some of the logic I approached this with.

Wish you nothing but success! Always inspiring to see a fellow heavy equipment mechanic move onto bigger and better things

The way I started my auto repair business is somewhat similar except I repair Hybrid and Electric cars. I started with 4 thousand dollars just enough for the first month rent and deposit. I was driving semi but I figured that won’t work since I would mostly be hundreds of miles away from my business so I quit and signed up for Uber. Came to find out I could make almost same amount of money and don’t have to drive a big vehicle plus the flexibility of Uber allowed me to manage my shop. I had it set up by appointment so when a customer calls I can log off Uber and head to my shop. I opened Dec of 2022. Ifs almost one year now and I have not Uber in a long time that I am beginning to miss it. In fact I still love doing Uber. I might hire someone who can work on electric car so I can continue driving for Uber, I miss chatting with a passenger and realized driving is what makes me happy.

This is my goal here. I graduated from community tech school 2 years ago. Hoping to get this started in about 2 to 3 years. Just need more experience.

Man this is super inspiring! I didn’t grow up with many men around and didn’t learn anything when it came to vehicles. I was screwed over by a transmission shop with my first truck which cost me thousands and at that time being 19 I ended up losing my truck and forever regret. Since then I have taught myself anything and everything I can. Purchased a forester XT and built it to run 0-60 in 4.8 seconds from the stock 7 second 0-60 and then bought a 95 Astro van and completely restored that, bought a Chevy express 1500, ford ranger and now building a 12v Cummins to be my tow pig/ work horse for all other vehicles. I come from more of a sales and customer service background than mechanical but see it more as the service provided. I’m the oldest of 7 and to be able to help my siblings, give them a vehicle or help a family or individual in need it seems so very rewarding.

Good for you man. Starting a business is like having a baby, you're never gonna be ready for it, you have to just jump in and go for it.

I saw a lot of haters talk mess about your tool box video and I’m thinking in my head it’s your money you spend it how you want and it’s is so cool to see you successful running your own business. Keep up the good work and keep the content coming!

[garrettcr]

id like to see you buy an auction skid steer to fix and make a profit. Episode 1 can be finding the right one to purchase, episode 2 can be identifying the problems with it, then each further episode can be a vlog of you fixing each component.

Good video bro I hope you make it big and I pray that your blessed with your new shop.

[miceinoz]

Good luck to you, there is always a risk in starting a new business, and the new shop looks a lot better for customers than the free place. You keep saying "we". Are you starting on your own, or do you have a business partner or employee involved?

[CrazyChicken]

[rawrmusic]

Wish you the best buddy. You’ve got a great attitude, work ethic, and skill set. Looking forward to see you build this business!

[Ozarkmountain_barbender]

Good for you man! I remember chattin on Instagram a few years ago. I’m in the process of building a 40x100 to do the same!

I believe that because a shop owner friend I know makes twice that or more. He probably makes around 70k per month. The key is to charge more and do outstanding job and throw in a few tweets here and there. For example he has a nationwide warranty of two years for customers. He also weed out the customers who are cheap and keeps those who have money to pay.
