Finding crew to set up an auto resto and workshop

[moarijahsan36]

Hey everyone, I'm looking for fellow car enthusiasts who are interested in setting up an auto workshop and restoration services. I'm from Lahore, Wapda town and unfortunately almost none of my friends and relatives are car enthusiasts or even interested in anything car related. I'm looking for a proper crew to start up this business and also looking for friends to make in the process. Cheers

how much you know about managing a business specially an automotive workshop, and how much you know about a DIY for basics in any vehicle.

any outline you have. if none, i suggest get an internship at any 3S workshop to know how things work.

the single most important thing for an automotive workshop is space and the ease of access for customers.

Well as far as business knowledge goes, I already have an advertising agency, been working with my father since I was 16 and now I'm 27. As for automotive businesses, I don't know much about them, still doing my research and learning. That's the reason I'm looking for like minded people who are already in this community and share common interests. DIY main I pretty much know the basics, nothing too complicated. I know how to change engine oil, transmission fluid, air filters, cabin filters and I also know how to change various lights in cars for example low or high headlights, fog lights, parking lights and taillights. I do basic maintenance of my car myself, I own a 07 civic FD.
I was thinking about doing an ecu remapping and reprogramming course as well as car key reprogramming course. A basic car mechanics course and also learn car wiring. The main purpose of this post was to meet like minded people and make bros from whom I can learn and make a crew with if they ever get interested.
Thanks for replying btw.

Thank you for being candid honest, It is very heart warming to know you are willing to expand your horizon. You already know the key basics of management, i'd suggest take an internship at any 3S DEALERSHIP. While there start looking for a suitable place as in last line of post #2

if @syncview is nearby apply at his place for a quarter and learn. He can be of great help in the next phase.

Its better to work in a shop first to get a feeler of how jobs are billed and done, this way you also get to experience the pitfalls too, e.g. breaking the belt tensioner bolt on a honda r18 is a miserable experience which requires engine removal sometimes.

Similarly you will learn how to manage time with different jobs, and what to look for when dealing with oddball situations. E.g. i can give you a scenario

Toyota 4afe, 4efe, 5afe etc. had some job done on it and now it sounds like a diesel engine, what would your course of action be?

Or lets say you encounter a car with automatic gearbox but with siezed engine. How will you separate the gearbox without spilling the atf (lets imagine that certain atf is extremely pricey)
