This trade takes custody of something worth thousands and hands it back changed. That changes what has to be ready before marketing sends anyone through the door.
Module 1 of the Castells Media academy for contractors: Starting the business.
You are responsible for the car while it is yours
The license, and what it does not cover
Garagekeepers coverage, not just general liability
A booking system, before a phone number
A phone, an email and a bank account that belong to the business
What one empty bay costs. Put your own numbers in. A missed appointment in this trade is not just a lost customer, it is time on a piece of equipment (the bay, the lift, the booth) that cannot be sold again once the hour has passed.
