The car has long ceased to be just a means of transportation. The times when "the man on Kopeyka was God, and the man on the Volga was the boss of God" have sunk into oblivion. More and more motorists appear who turn their iron horse into a way of self-expression. The demand for modernization of cars is growing by leaps and bounds, but really high-quality tuning services are provided only in megacities. Therefore, opening your own tuning studio is a very profitable business.

Business plan, premises, start-up capital, access to suppliers
Instructions
Step 1
Make a business plan. Choose the tuning niche where you can provide really high quality services. It can be tuning engines and upgrading the driving characteristics of a car, tuning the interior, installing car audio, or upgrading the appearance. In the future, starting from the chosen direction of activity, it will be possible to find a more suitable premises, purchase and install the necessary equipment and hire narrow specialists.
Step 2
Find the appropriate room. The fact is that in almost every city there is a garage in which Chinese spoilers or discs are installed. But this is not enough for a tuning studio. Therefore, the premises will have to be found suitable: it should easily fit up to 10 cars, and so that there is access to test facilities and inspection pits. Plus, there should be a demo room where the client can see any body parts or units live, and this also requires a lot of space. Also, don't forget the staff and client room. The location of the tuning studio also plays an important role - a three-story inconspicuous building, standing in a garage cooperative on the outskirts of the city, will not inspire confidence.
Step 3
Build relationships with suppliers. Purchase in advance all parts, body elements, electronics, etc. It will be costly, but you shouldn't detain clients either. If your city does not have a car warehouse, then find out where it is in nearby cities. Order a trial batch for the demo room and agree on delivery times.
Step 4
Hire staff. Place ads in newspapers or job sites. You can also look for workers in car services or service stations. But remember that if a car mechanic can be hired by presenting a college diploma and confirming work experience, then the reception of airbrushing artists should be carried out according to the portfolio.
Step 5
Contact an advertising agency to promote your tuning studio. As a rule, the opening of large establishments of this type causes a lot of attention, and if you provide quality services and receive good reviews from customers, you will not be deprived of work.
