In 1994, automotive performance enthusiast Jayson Cohen established
Motorsports Technologies Inc. (MTI) in
Houston, TX. For the next decade
and half, he helped the company grow into a reputable national
performance service shop that serviced clients from all around the
United States. Under Cohen’s leadership, the shop was a formidable force
in the automotive performance industry.
From MTI’s success, car enthusiasts and professionals looking to open their shops can note the following:
Startup expenses
It
is prudent to have a detailed breakdown of the required startup
expenses. When you’re starting from the ground up, you have to consider a
lot of things, from construction expenses to purchase of equipment.
Visit professional car shops to get a clear picture of what you might
require.
Location
Take your time when looking for a
potential location to construct your car facility. You want to establish
the business in a place where it’s visible to drivers and close to the
populated residential areas. Consider the environmental hazards that the
facility might pose. Additionally, get the necessary construction and
business operation permits and licenses required to run the business.
There are states that don’t require an auto shop to have a license, but
it’s good to contact the regulatory agency in your state to enquire
about the same.
Inventory
The choice of equipment and
parts to stock will depend on the variety of services you choose to
provide. Common equipment include air compressors, car lifts, pneumatic
lines, among others. Make safety a priority, so don’t compromise on
equipment.
Motorsport Technologies in Houston wishes you all the best in your business.
