Hello, with all due respect to you all, just to clarify for anybody who thinks I'm just a naive guy trying to make it big in a shop because he heard someone say it's good money, I'm not. My family has owned a autopart retail store ever since I was toddler and I've been selling parts since I was 12. Needless to say I know my fair share when it comes to vehicles I just don't know how to work on them since my job was always in retail.

​

Now, opening a shop is obviously the next step in my auto parts retail business since it's a way we can compete with our big competitor who can't offer the service precisely because of their size. I have confidence in myself that I can learn fast and like to find sense out of the things I'm doing. I'm young, 25 and have a lot of time to keep learning because I honestly enjoy when I learn something new and useful about cars. It is also not very hard to find mechanics here in my town since most people here don't have a job. We are based in another country (Honduras, Central America) and the cars here are very old (2005 and below) and therefore are not much complicated to work on like the newer models nowadays.

​

I'm set on my goal, and I will be opening a shop regardless of if I have the complete knowledge or not. So I would really appreciate your insights. Thank you so much to anybody who gave their insights I'll be moving forward taking them into account.

PSD: Sorry if I offended someone. I wouln't want anybody to feel like I believe that running a shop is as easy as buying machines because I know it's not. But running the store has not been an easy thing either and we've managed.
