Good luck man, it's a tough business. As long as you have someone involved with a good business mind set (and I mean educated, not your average hussler) you'll do just fine.

What all will your shop be offering, and wheres the exact location? I might just have to take a swing down and check it out

It's in Elkhart Indiana, on Jackson St next to Martins Supermarket... Ill take pix of the building and put them on here so everyone can see it's potential lol looks like a **** hole right now, graffiti on walls...broken windows..etc normal abandon building ****...we are not exactly sure when it will be opening but we are looking to lease/rent the building and we are talking to the city today about negotiating a price. It is an AMAZING building....6 garage stalls and a big like office/store area. We will be doing everything there! we will be doing everything that like Midas and Tuffy or Jiffy lube do and body work, paint, Nitrous, superchargers....you name it lol, we might even do some swap stuff. I can't wait. Yea and we have all the mechanical knowledge but our business skills are rusty...but my dad went to college in New York and was a Future and Options trader on Wall St. in like the 80's and 90's. So he is prolly gonna help us with the business part.
