How to open tuning studio

The car has long ceased to be just a means of transportation. The times when "the man on Kopeyka was God, and the man on the Volga - the head of God" have sunk into oblivion. More and more motorists appear who turn their iron horse into a way of self-expression. Demand for the modernization of cars is growing by leaps and bounds, only really high-quality tuning services are provided only in megacities. Therefore, opening your own tuning studio is a very profitable business.

You will need

Business plan, premises, start-up capital, access to suppliers.

Instruction manual

Make a business plan. Choose the niche of tuning in which you can provide truly high-quality services. This may be tuning the engines and upgrading the rideability of the car, tuning the passenger compartment, installing car audio, or upgrading the look. In the future, starting from the chosen direction of activity, it will be possible to find a more suitable room, purchase and install the necessary equipment and hire narrow specialists.

Find the appropriate room. The fact is that in almost every city there is a garage in which Chinese spoilers or wheels are installed. But this is not enough for a tuning studio. Therefore, the room will have to find the proper place: up to 10 cars should fit in it without problems, and so that there is access to test facilities and inspection pits. Plus, there should be a demonstration room where the client will be able to see live any body parts or units, and for this, too, a lot of space is needed. Do not also forget about the room for staff and customers. The location of the tuning studio also plays an important role - a three-story inconspicuous building, standing in a garage cooperative on the outskirts of the city, will not cause trust.

Build relationships with suppliers. Buy all parts, body elements, electronics, etc. in advance. It will be unprofitable, but you should not delay customers. If your city does not have a car warehouse, then find out where it is in nearby cities. Order a test batch for a showroom and arrange delivery times.

Hire staff. Place ads in newspapers or job sites. You can also search for workers in garages or service stations. But remember that if a car mechanic can be hired by presenting a technical school diploma and confirming the length of service, then the reception of artists involved in airbrushing should be carried out according to the portfolio.

Contact the advertising agency to promote your tuning studio. As a rule, the opening of large establishments of this type causes a lot of attention and if you provide quality services and receive good reviews from customers, you will not be deprived of work.

note

Do not save on equipment and supplies. It may be that at first it will be a pretty penny, but later it will pay off with interest.

Useful advice

Learn the competition. Maybe in your city there are already tuning studios that are not so famous, but have firmly occupied this niche.
