Hey this is mngs500 my name is Zach and this is my last year in high school. I have a 2001 GS with nice upgrades.
Anyways I have lots of interest in becoming an Automotive Tech and starting my own shop. I have been working for a couple shops and just can't stand the dishonesty and prices of shops. So my plan is to start a business that offers high quality work with the lowest prices. I have my story on the website at zvisker.wix.com/minnesotamechanics. If you guys can help spread the word that would be great. I have been very active with it and I'm really trying to make this happen.

Thanks everyone and have a safe ride.
Good luck in your business. I know you've been a good member here. We've done some business between us.
Carry that same pride and honesty to your new endeavor.
Yes good luck. Your prices are very cheap :thumb:
Thank you for your support I really hope this grows into something

hope the costs you are quoting will cover shop insurance and rent. Please double check, though I like the idea of paying for just labor and having a tech install.. but have it pay for enough to pay for shop insurance and shop supplies and shop space and some $$$ for you to live on.

Insurance though. if you dont have it, look into it. wishing you the best. startups are always a gripe. but pay off if you do it right :)
best of luck and follow your dreams, its good to be young and know what you want to do. heck im 20 and still dont entirely know what i would like to do for the rest of my life. your S.T.E.P program is just like BOCES here in NY. they have all sorts of classes for junior/senior students like welding, auto tech, culinary etc etc
