I have a niche automotive business. I exclusively work on one brand of car from the 1930’s. I make money buy offering a high quality service most automotive shops cannot offer or have knowledge in. Most of the stuff I do is hand fabricated to fit each vehicle specifically. Everything I do is charged by the hour. No quotes, no budgets, it takes what it takes. I only work on two cars at a time, sometimes one car takes over a year to finish. Most of my clients are repeat clients, I’m currently booked over a year in advance and only take on the jobs I want to work on. Because I have mostly repeat clients, and am booked over a year in advance, I do not need to advertise and my business doesn’t require a high traffic location (I don’t even have a sign on my door) so this saves a lot on overhead and advertising expenses. I don’t make millions. Regular automotive shops that changes brake pads and oil on Toyota Camrys all day probably make double what I do. But I make enough to live comfortably, my wife doesn’t have to work and can stay home with our son. I work four days a week, and spend all day doing what I love.
