AS to trips to do minor tuning and installs as you mentioned this would probably work -- is tuning the engine setting up the trans shift points and input sensors etc something that you could do in the driveway. I think there are enough of us out here that would like to have a shop that we could have confidence in.
Thing is time --- takes time to build the rep -- I know we would all help in that regard -- but still could be a couple of lean years before a large enough client base could be estabilshed -- if you can get through that time The west coast is full of the right type of cars and car nuts with money to support a company like you are talking about.
I know that I would drive a couple hundred miles to get my car tuned up right --- but I can't speak for anybody else |
Yeah certainly calibrating shifter points and to a certain extent the engine mapping is possible without any special tools other then the DAS.
As you correctly point out i wont be stepping into a gold mine from day one and the people who own my current shop would be its owners so they would be able to support it while its growing so the quiet time thats bound to happen would not be a problem.
