I got everything aside from the A/C machine (which would be nice) because currently have a hvac buddy of mine do them with his equipment when I need it, I do however have a tire machine and balancer which I'm surprised not to see in your shop yet. Got a commercial exhaust bender also and honestly that along with the lathe…. I never use them… hell i'm not even sure I know how to even set up the lathe even if I needed too really (never tried).. usually just get new rotors if needed, as cheap as the sob's are now. Maybe someday I'll piss with it for shits and giggles to figure it out.
I got the same brake lathe, charger, strut compressor as you. lol
With that being said though, my shop is purposely a crazy low key shop though… as in I purposely don't want much at all for customers nor have ever advertised it… I been building old cars etc. and am atm content with the completely deliberate lack of traffic in and out. If I was a smart man, id hire some young fresh blood mechanic with passion for vehicles to use one of the bays (giving him or her a hand of course) and drum up some business while I keep doing my thing in the other ones… Make some extra money while helping "a brother or sista" get a start…. but I guess I'm not a very smart man it seems and finding a young buck or doe that wants to "do work son" is a bitch these days anyways really. Meh…
hey Oc I'm going to school but ur video and knowledge will help me get by!!!! are ASE certifications important????
Hey Nestor, Great Video. thank you for giving back to the community of auto enthusiasts.
I am seeking for all and what it takes to build my own exotic car. Please holla back..Need the detailed info on
the garage – measurements of the garage
the list of tools
list of equipment
how to mold the body kit, steering wheel, gas pedals and shift gears..
working on welding metal, making the chasis how to put an engine and motor together..
glass and carbon fiber, mold the head lights and rear view lights
electronics including sound system, GPS, windows, lock and voice recognition system, blue tooth syncing,
rims, caliper breaks, break pads and tires
leather upholstery
Awesome tips! Can relate in many aspects. Smart shopping is always the way to go
Great video and some solid advice. I know you don't agree but I'd have to say a tire machine a balancer would be an asset. Even just for tire repairs a good used machine would pay for itself in no time.
But what do I know? I'm just a guy in a garage with some tools.
Thanks for the video.
alright boys…….
8:50 What is the press for? Just wondering. I'm not a mechanic.
Try to enclose compressor in sound proof room.
good video thanks mate
Really like your vids.. I have a what you call a side hustle out of my garage at home. I installed a scissors lift right in the middle of my garage. It get the cars about 3ft off the ground real quick. I bought an oil caddy at harbor freight , cut and shortened the center pole, because my lift only lifts 3ft. up. Also bought a small rolling stool to sit down under the cars with tools on the stool tray. I got all my business from 20yrs at GM, and local car clubs because I have a spec Miata I also race. I'm half retired now, and deciding to continue with what I'm doing, or expand into a commercial building, and bring my to son's with me if that's what they want to do. Anyway, I like your sense, and steering new guys in the right direction so they waste a lot of money going in the wrong direction.
