Luckily I will have a free office manager to start with til there is money to hire someone other then my wife! She can handle the phone and parts ordering. The business aspect of it is really the least of my worries I have a good grasp of it from school. I will be hiring an accountant! For...

I agree on the concept of domestic vs imports but if I start working on domestics people expect my labor rate to be $45hr. So there is still so very much that distinction between the two at least in what people are willing to pay. Website will be set up with online booking and an accurate...

It is in the works!:thumbup:

Hey old_biker are you in the rust belt by chance? That is a lot of gas! Good idea on having a little MIG welder around for repairs, added to the list.

I cannot say that I have ever once worked on a Subaru down here. The dealer only has two techs and they mostly work on used cars. :p

A press is on my list, honestly in ten years that I worked on cars I never once needed a torch down here to remove something. I always found most vehicles rust free and easy to repair. Once I hire on an additional tech I will get a torch set in case they need it. For me I can make due! For TPMS...

With so many tire places around here I really didn't think tire equipment would be worth the investment. If I came across a really good deal on a quality changer and balancer I would spring for it but otherwise it is pretty low on my list. I know there are better deals out there than Wurth but...

Everyone's thoughts on OTC branded tools? Such as there gauges and service kits?

I was looking into the chemicals I will more then likely be using Wurth for them and other consumibles. As for large size sockets with Imports I have never ran into anything that needed more that 1/2 tools. That is something I consider tech supplied. Good note on the oil pressure gauge and a...

This is going too be a multi-year running project but the end goal is to open up an independent Import service center offering dealer quality service for less cost and with the much forgotten these days, friendly service. Imagine a pressed and shined independent repair center offering loaner...

Witte drivers from Matco are wayyyyy better. I ended up trading in my SO instinct's on a set.

I like it, it would be nice to be able to charge all my power tools, Streamlight and scan tool all plugged in and charged.

I sipped the kool aid...

I think the best advice here is to go talk to the lead tech/foreman. Let him show you what you need, since your working on Cats there may be certain tools you need that are unique to their product and tools you would never touch in their shop. Save the cost of buying full sets if all they use...

Here is the screwdriver in question: I'm probably completely wrong right now, oh well...

I have a set of Expert screwdrivers that are identical to the Facom and are Made in France? :dunno: They could have just sold the screwdrivers as Expert. Whatever it is I plan on doing more research before I buy anyway.

Never seem them actually branded as Facom on the truck? But it is a difference in countries I believe, in the US 99.9% of the population have no clue who Facom is or any Euro brand really.

Expert found it.

I can not for the life of me remember what the brand is that Mac is selling Facom tools under off the truck? Anyone remember? Starting a tool collection for my son and I want to get him some reasonably priced Euro tools.
