Here is my two cents: I just bought a shop that closed, they were a Japanese only shop. The owner was a Toyota tech , so he stuck with what he knew. The problems he said that he was if a customer had cars other than Japanese they had to go elsewhere. If they were happy they brought all of their cars to the other shop. Also there is a big mix of dealers close by, Chevy, ford, dodge, etc. So of course he did not get those customers. The math for you will be easy: what percentage of the vehicle that you service now will be sent elsewhere, than what will your marketing costs be? Do you have the working Capitol to sustain your business through these changes ? Are your technicians trained properly for Japanese vehicles? Do you have all the tools and equipment needed ? You can buy mailing lists that are directed to your specific vehicle owners. I will add more if I have any other thoughts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I also have my lifts services every year. I do the same with the lift company and let them come out when it fits their schedule . It saves a $100. Service fee. I send a copy of the certificate to my insurance company and post a copy. The techs take better care of the lifts knowing that I care. The other thing if you have an accident with injury involving a lift you better have your certificates showing the service. It's funny I call buying lunch "free lunch Friday's" Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What I've done is contact the insurance company for their rates per day, usually different for fences and not fenced. Then when they call to tow it away they will ask for the total and I've always been paid right away, also don't forget about repossessed cars, same thing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
