Houston’s Motorsports Technologies Inc. Tips for Starting a Car Performance Shop

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.
