Are you a long-time mechanic or an amateur repairman with a screwdriver in your hand in your spare time? If you flip through the trade magazines, you will find a category called “Auto Moto. Running an auto repair shop is the dream of every person who understands auto repair and spends their spare time under the hood. However, running an auto repair shop comes with a certain amount of responsibility, and there are many legal requirements that must be met in order to open a business. Do you have the courage to start such a business yourself?
First of all, you should know what the law says about such garages. How to choose an appropriate site and, most importantly, how to choose equipment that will last for a long time.
Will the garage be your primary source of income or a light source of household income? Either way, it must meet legal requirements, and there are no small number of them. The law defines not only the facility itself, but also the person responsible for its operation.
If you are still looking for a suitable facility, you may want to choose one within a reasonable distance from office buildings and residences. Believe it or not, potential traffic and noise complaints are the last thing you want to deal with early in your business. An auto repair shop can only be located on a site approved for the same purpose under current building codes. Subsequently, you will still need to designate an appropriate person to oversee the smooth operation of the facility. Finally, such facilities must be properly labeled according to the law. Since the actual facilities of the garage are no longer regulated by law, the choice is left to the financial viability and discretion of the facility owner. The basic equipment probably does not need to be described at length. As we all know, one must have compressors, liquid fillers, hydraulic jacks, hand tools, spare parts, etc.
