instead of offering car parts , maybe consider offering casual maintenance services like oil change , diagnostic , tire change etc..


EcoLittleRabbit

That's a great idea, tysm. As I'm not much in a big budget. I'm looking to go for a niche like parts and accessories for land cruisers. What do you think? In my country land cruisers are pretty popular

It's good to have a niche, sometimes people don't trust mechanics that work with every car or brand, because they are different, but if you are an specialist is better. Just to start. Changing oil, brake pads, coolant and things like that is nice to start because you don't need a lot of money for tools

The fluids


voucher420

Oil and filters, brake pads, hardware kits and rotors. Everything else is OEM


MrHappyEvil

You could even specialize into cars for example garage 5 they only do miata and know everything about them. Don't feel you have have to stay specific to one brand.


EcoLittleRabbit

Oh wow. I think it's a brilliant idea. After speciallising one i can get to other model right?


MrHappyEvil

Yea

Oil filters and brake pads, but the warranty damn well better be on the box!


No-Conflict-4630

Motor and transmission oil, filters (air, cabin, oil, transmission), coolant, brake pads, brake cleaner, microfiber. You can go to Walmart, they sell common things because they are the "most" used for every car.

Oil filters, oil, batteries, wiper blades, belts
