Business Plan
I want to be able to own my building that I'm in and no be leasing and maybe purchase a tow truck which would help tremendously with my day to day activities. I just want a chance to be able to be successful. I've never had anything given to me and always worked for it no matter what. I don't know how to give up and that has always been a fault of mine.

Self Identified Competition
Dealership because have better equipment Other repair shops with more personnel because I'm a one person shop with no help. World around town because I'm new a s people get an auto Repair shop and stay faithful to that shop. I can make every excuse as to why I'm different then other shops but I can say I truly love what I do and its not about the money.
