i used to own a towing business you will want too make sure you have the right insurence once to put a car on the trailer ..ie when i backed my truck up to a car and put the cable to whinch it up i was covered by what was called hook insurence .

so if the cable broke the car owner was covered . once all 4 wheels are the tray of the truck it was called load insurence both come under a seprate policey and 2 lot's of premuim's .

you may want to check this out b4 offering the service . also seening how your effictly towing a customers car you may need a toweys lincence .

this is the main reason workshops find it cheaper just to ring a tow truck . i would not want a car of mine on your trailer not knowing what is covered and by who if you prang or the car falls off on the way to the workshop .

not trying to put you guys off its hard to make a buck in these days and times and good luck with the workshop just making you aware of what you might be up for .

cheers dean

it costs me $110 to hire for 24 hours from any servo ive been to plus a $50 deposit which i get back.

id have a flat rate, then charge after a few km's if its say more then 30-50km that needs to be driven (1 way)

that way it should cover the trailer and the whatever the tow car's general wear and tear while towing.

i'd also be buying insurence that'll cover the workshop while towing incase something happens to either car.

who wants to play hang man

Kietz, I editted your 1st post for good reason.....keep slagging businesses and you are out of here permanently!!

Which part of town you from?

If South, Caltex on Cross Rd. (261 Cross Road CUMBERLAND PARK SA 5041) charged me $85 last time i hired one for 24hrs which was a couple months ago now...

from port noarlunga mate.

ive used at least 3 or 4 different places , shell, mobil cant remember the others but each time its been $107 for 24hours plus a $50 deposit.

ive also used a shell up north near modbury and it was the same price.

maybe caltex is the way to go next time i take the track car out to lala.

My work (Rob's Fuels) do a car trailer for $60 + $50 deposit for 24 hours.. Didn't realise how cheap we actually were on that.

all insurance issues are being dealt with. as for general insurance on workshop and workmanship/public liability thats all done and up to scratch. Other than that hoist got up and running today and also got all the tools and welder in today, so we are pretty much ready to to buisiness as of tomorrow!

hope o hear from you soon

Good luck with the new shop Ben and Simon!

Im sure it will all go well especially with the high level of quality you have always put into my car in the past Simon

When i get my license back my car will definitely be down there for some things that need doing

:D Ceff man

EDIT: Was going to say don't be afraid to go down to the workshop/give them a call and have a chat about any ideas you might have :P

Edited by Ceffy_SA

Hey guys not sure if i put in address anywhere but on unit 3/26 stanbel rd salisbury plain. there is a workshop out the front called glenrothes mechanical. there is a driveway that runs down the side of that and we are second shed on the right

now open for business!

ok Ben and Simon. Thanks for ignoring my post above regarding becoming an SAU site sponsor, but if you haven't responded to me within 24 hours this post is gone and you get an official warning.

It is not fair for you to plug your business on here for free, when other businesses do the right thing and pay sponsorship fees.

    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 馃槈. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 馃槏.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 馃檹 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 馃槈. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 馃槏 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
