Classic/Antique Car Repair: business idea, population areas, business idea


Question
I ham planning to start a media blasting business specialized in cars and trucks   do you think there is a market for this service in your industry  And what can my business do to cater to your industry more.

Answer
Most large population areas already have shops that do this, but one thing that is hard to find is anyone with a portable rig that will come out to a remote shop and do the blasting on site.  The problems are noise, flying dust, and cleanup after the work.  If you can solve all those items, you could probably have a good business amongst the small shops like mine, where we have to take parts in our truck to the nearest facility, leave them, and then return later to pick them up. It takes time and uses employees that could be better used in the shop.

Make sure you are well educated as to what media and what technique to use for each type of job - many old car parts have been ruined by blasting with the wrong technique or media.
