Every year the number of cars on the roads of the country is increasing at lightning speed. It is becoming the norm to have not one, but two or more cars in a family. Therefore, the organization of tire fitting with a high probability can become a stable and profitable business. Nevertheless, when drawing up a business plan, one should take into account the seasonality of demand, since the bulk of orders for tire fitting work comes in late autumn and early spring.
Instructions
Step 1
Register your business as a sole proprietorship or limited liability company. This type of activity is not subject to licensing or mandatory certification. Think over the pricing policy and the range of services that your workshop will provide.
Step 2
The choice of location is of commercial importance. It is advisable to place a tire fitting near a large garage complex, a gas station or near a busy roadway. You should also consider the presence of competitors in the selected area. Neither of you will benefit from being in close proximity. In addition, it is necessary to provide for a convenient entrance and a parking lot. The required area of the premises is on average 40-50 square meters and, as a rule, is rented from the owner.
Step 3
You will need a set of equipment that should meet the needs of not only the tire fitting itself, but also additional services such as balancing and wheel inflation. The equipment includes a tire changer, a balancing stand, a compressor, a vulcanizer, as well as working tools and consumables. Now on the market you can find many proposals for the comprehensive equipment of a tire workshop, including semi-automatic and automatic options. You can buy tires from official manufacturers and dealers.
Step 4
Personnel are usually recruited by advertisement, through vocational schools that train car mechanics, or specialized courses. To organize the smooth operation of a small tire workshop, 2-4 people are enough. It is important to provide a decent quality of service. Employees should be neat in appearance, clean uniforms, and able to communicate with customers.
Step 5
Order a sign indicating "Tire Service" or "Tire Service" of the appropriate size and color so that it stands out against the background of surrounding objects and is visible to motorists moving in both directions of the road. It is also worth printing leaflets with information about the workshop and distributing them at the nearest gas stations, parking lots, shops and other places where cars are congregated.
