The thing is I don't have enough patience to sit in the school for two years to learn to become a technician. I'm finishing my BBA degree, so I'm not looking to go back to school anytime soon. I have chosen a location for the wheel alignment shop where it's quitte close to the 100k cars traffic passing by daily. So, I do hope to get some of them to become my customer but the most important thing is how to reach them. I will do more research and the business plan to see the forecast. Does any have use Hofmann before? The Geoliner 790 is about 2700 USD cheaper than the Elite. Every cent counts... Hofmann Geoliner 790 (20 000 eur) vs Hunter Hawkeye Elite (22 000 eur)

Do you mean it's difficult to make a living by doing only wheel alignment in the US? If so, then it would be also difficult in my area because there are way more cars in the US then anywhere else. The average pricing in my area is 50 USD for the testing and 120 USD for the testing and basic alignment. It takes 15-30 min per car to do the basic adjustment. So if I manage to do four car a day, I would survive but readings from threads here. It seems like most shops are doing 6-9 per week. It would be interested to know why that little. Is it because lack of marketing or simply not enough wheel alignment customers or some other reason.

Being a non-skilled and non experienced in the car repair industry I came here asking for help from the pro's. I'm looking to (dreaming to) start a shop that do only wheel alignment testing and adjustment. For what I understand is that the testing/adjustment does not required long training, some places offered one day training or so. I have a few questions that require your knowledge and opinions. 1. From the business point-of-view would it make any sense to start the wheel alignment shop? I mean would it be possible to make a living for myself by doing so? 2. What computerized alignment manufacturer do you recommend? At the moment, I'm attracted to Hunter Hawkeye Elite but not so much of its' price. 3. Can you suggest reputable businesses that do the alignment? BTW, I'm from northern Europe. Thank you very much for your time and inputs.
