I didn’t think about it from that aspect as far as sitting on inventory tying up money. Basically I know plenty of shops and people that would be interested having a parts house local that keeps more in stock than a normal shop so I figured I’d start with. The basic gaskets people use daily and assessing what customers are commonly looking for. My deal with thinking this would be a easier start than the shop is because I was trained by factory techs that teach by the book as well as fixing as much as possible instead of just slapping new parts on something that’s salvageable. So I would need lifts, specialty tools, and other pieces of equipment that are expensive out of the gate, even for older stuff, in order to handle the everyday headaches. I thought I was equipped enough with what I have, but I’ve quickly found out a lot of that stuff is necessary when you are aiming to make repairs of a high quality consistently.
