How to start your car business

Perhaps someday you will need conveyor assembly lines or luminous catwalks of an elite car dealership. But while you are just starting your car business and decided to open a private car repair service for a start

Instruction manual

1

Register with the tax office of the individual entrepreneur or legal entity. It is worth noting that more recently, in order to open a service station, a much more extensive package of documents was required. Either the state decided, finally, to meet small business not just in words but in practice, or there are still so few auto services on our Russian routes (given the condition of some routes and the hope for a Russian “maybe”) that red tape with papers can become fatal.

2

Find a room for your future workshop. The best place is on a highway or near an urban intersection near a gas station and a garage cooperative. But since all such places are probably already firmly occupied, it will be quite enough for at least one of these conditions to be met. The room should already have a viewing hole or a lift, otherwise you will have to conclude additional agreements with the landlord.

3

Be sure to contact the sanitary and fire service to get positive conclusions about the condition of the room. Be prepared for the fact that, taking into account the specifics of your enterprise, the requirements will be quite stringent.

4

Purchase all the necessary equipment, tools and supplies. Usually, several most common types of work are performed in auto repair shops: tire fitting, minor engine repairs. Therefore, do not skimp on good imported equipment (preferably German or Italian) so that the whole range of work can be completed in the shortest possible time. Moreover, such works are seasonal, and reinstallation will cost you much more.

5

Soberly assess your capabilities before installing a sign above the entrance (and entrance) to the car service. To repair many foreign cars, you will need "native" computer stands, which are available only to authorized dealers of companies. Therefore, start better with servicing domestic cars so as not to harm either the car or your reputation.

6

Set real prices for your services - then it is likely that you will soon have regular customers and you will quickly recover all the costs.

7

Invite good professionals to work in your service. Interview theory and practice. However, in the auto business (especially local), such specialists are always in sight. If possible, offer them a larger salary, and fans of your business will have a lot of good orders, which will certainly be if you did everything right before.

8

Get all the necessary certificates of conformity for each type of work. To do this, you need to submit to the branch of the Russian Certification Center: all the statutory documents, certificate of registration of the IP or LLC, extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, statistics codes, lease agreement for premises, conclusions from the SES and the fire service and a list of equipment. After your application, specialists will be sent to you who will test the operation of your car service and, in case of positive results, will give you all the necessary certificates.
