GTR 94 Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 well as some of you may have read i am in the process of trying to decide whether or not to open a car and parts store for all imported cars, somewhere on the outterskirts of melboune (at the moment the Coburg area is where i am leaning towards) So now is the time i need your help as you are the customers and this store is to benifit you as much as it does me so, WHAT DO YOU WANT? any thing from spare cigrett plugs to full motors and gear boxes, bodykits and even turbo kits new and 2nd hand. please any information would be great as i said previously this store will be open for YOU and YOU know what YOU want. Greatly appriciated Lee. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/51086-the-time-is-near/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Are you going to have a workshop as well, or strictly selling parts? Because you will need somewhere to store all the parts. Could be a good idea to lease some of the warehouse space to a mechanic as a shop OR rent the area out to ppl at say an hourly rate. I dont know how you would go with Worksafe and duty of care etc etc if you are leasing workshop space to the public, but i for one now living in the city with nowhere to work on my car would pay soem coin to have access to somewhere i can work on my car. Just an idea...cash flow is important when in business...good luck!

Greatly appriciated Lee. I was thinking about doing a similiar thing also with a mate who has plenty of $$ to invest in such a thing. The thing is that there are so many shops around vic and aus and so many online stores (ie no overheads) that the market is very compedetive at the moment.

WazR32GTSt Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 i'd say one thing that it not stocked a lot is accessories. you can gt some at places like autobarn but lets face it they are a rip off! things like: gear knobs, stickers, keyrings, keys, badges, etc. etc. but also have the usual bodykits and mechanical parts it would be perfect if it were the 'ultimate' store where you can go and buy your parts, then your rice and you're done!
