a spell checker would be a good first investment

Seriously, with the amount of car shops around & halfrauds selling everything cheap is there a market for you? I think that you would need to look in the area that the shop is & do some market research to start with to see what your competition is.

Not a good time to start in a competitive market this this imho.

I would like to see a shop selling top quality performance parts such as Defi , Blitz, HKS etc. There are too many places selling tat such as exhaust trims neons etc. Haven't got a clue how you would go about setting it up though
