Starting one’s own car workshop is the aim of many good automobile professional mechanics and advisors. If you are talented and hardworking car expert, you may feel working for another person as highly challenging. You may want to start on your own and serve your own customers well.

To build a good car repair workshop it is important to have good knowledge of cars, but at the same time it is important to be good in a lot of other things as well. Running something of your own can be challenging and cumbersome and without the right team and guidance you may just fall flat on your face.

There is sufficient amount of detailing that one needs to do for each point mentioned above. For the rest of the blog we will focus on “Setting Workshop & Having Right Infrastructure”. Below are some key points that you should look at:

The Right Location

A workshop is as good as the customers it attracts. Choosing the right location is extremely important. A good successful workshop is normally located in areas with low to medium footfalls. This ensures that there is enough parking space to maneuver vehicles. This also ensures that right amount of space is available to setup the workshop infrastructure

Shop floor Area & Capacity

A good workshop is well lit and properly ventilated or else it may become suffocating for car mechanics for the whole day. Large windows and generous doors are a good idea for proper ventilation in the car workshop.

A good workshop will have the ability to park a decent number of cars. Around 5 – 8 cars can be maneuvered easily and should not be a hassle for the team managing operations. It is important to segregate service area, washing area and body shop area. Having dedicated area for service, washing, denting & painting ensures that the operations teams will not get unnecessarily distracted by others.

Service Infrastructure

To run smooth operations below are the bare minimum requirements:

No. of Service Lifts – 2

Washing Bays – 1

Body shop Booth – 1 (only in case you would want to carry out denting & painting work)

Obviously operations can run with lesser infrastructure, but there will be recurring issues and delays due to infrastructural constraints

Other Infrastructure

It is important to have well segregated customer lounge and spare parts shop.

A basic customer lounge is necessary for customers who may want to sit through the service of the vehicle. This enables them to have a peaceful space to sit and oversee. Not having a customer lounge results in customers lingering around the shop floor and hampering the productivity of car mechanics.

Organizing spares and tools is a must for any workshop. There should be a small, but dedicated spares shop where the mechanics can ask for regularly used items and get them handy. One needs sufficient rack space and little compartments for storing smaller parts and tools like wrenches and ratchets. This will help in the proper maintenance of tools and in organizing your workshop without the risk of losing or misplacing them.

Right Equipment

Never at all consider purchasing the cheapest devices. Hand instruments, for example, bearing pullers, cir clip forceps, ring and open end spanners come at different prices. So, choose smartly. Buy the complete sets of all the equipment. At least have two types of instruments of a particular kind. It will help you work sufficiently on various car models and operate them without concern.
