Well, I've finally found the place that might lead me in the right direction. I look forward in learning all I can. What I do now is what we all love, cars, cars, and cars! I'm currently a Diesel Technician who loves what he does and looks forward to being 'knee deep' in it. I've been around cars since I can remember, I'm 38. For about 7 years now, I've been really interested being a future shop owner. I've met a couple of owners who took that first step and are successfull, well I want to be in that place some day. I have no college skills, but don't mind trying something new. Just this past week, I took my first ASE Gas and Diesel Engine tests, really the first two of many. Getting my certifications will no doubt give my future customers trust in my skills. I hope to one day open my own performance shop. I love street cars and diesels, but the town I currently live in and economy will dictate where I really start. Maybe some place bigger who knows. So again thank you for this forum!

Hey JoeJoe! Welcome to the autoshopowner! What state are you in? Are town, suburb, city.....?

How's it going friends? Thanks for the response. Well I'm from Corpus Christi, Texas. We have alot of fishing here with nice beaches. It's mostly steaming hot but you can get used to it. Been here most of my life and with interest in working for myself, I can say it's gonna be one helluva task. The local shops in town are successful but I want to bring in my own with a 'twist', so to speak. With a population of around 200K+, not to many 'performance' shops exist here, maybe 2 or 3. My question is, in the line of work that I want to do, how can my future business survive in a town like this versus your basic auto repair shops? It's the performance industry I'd like to take a shot at. To me it seems to be alot harder on performance minded shops. I don't know. Maybe I'm looking at it wrong but hey this is the place to ask right? Like I was saying, I just happened to find this site and it looks like I'll be doing alot of searching for questions on the business-world. Once again, thanks!
