Grenadier Servicing Price Australia

[trobex]

A friend had an independent service workshop for 25 yrs until he recently retired. Had 3 bays, 4 reliable mechanics and a loyal clientele. His total annual diagnostic subscription fees for several marques (essential for logbook servicing) were in excess of A$25,000. On top of that add two Bosch diagnostic tools plus sundry assorted connection leads (another $10k) . Then there were various Govt levies, EPA etc, insurances, business operating licences, hoist certification.... the list goes on. All in all his overheads were close to $1000 a day before he took account of wages. No wonder the hourly rates are up!!

He was servicing several marquee brands - and likely charging a handsome fee for all. I bet he was making a killing. Never in my life known a 'poor' mechanics shop. Ex bro in law ran 2x mech shops and was basically sleeping on pillows full of money. Another mate ran a BWM mech shop until selling up, made enough money to retire by 45 effectively. I chose wrong career path!

The best financial opporturtunies are always those where someone is making a distressed purchase. (for those not familiar with the term, it is where somebody is in a position where they have to buy your product or service. everything from an emergency plumber to a red light on your dashboard)
