Thanks a lot for all of the information guys! As for employees, I am the only one and I have a part time helper currently lined up (we were mobile but now a fixed location). As for the shop, I am not open for business yet. I am taking this month to set up the shop correctly and getting it all...

Thanks a lot guys! I knew there were a TON of regulations and now after reading here I am overwhelmed with it and may just call OSHA up in a few weeks to get them to come out and help me. As for Fire Marshall, I'm in the local fire department and a guy in the department with me is the local Fire...

James, I appreciate it! In about 4-5 weeks when I am ready I will shoot you an email to get your buddies info on finding me some signs and such. I have some updated pictures of the shop and some cool furniture I just bought yesterday!

I am in the process of opening a high end auto detailing shop and have a few questions for some of you here with auto shops... Before calling and having OSHA send out someone to tell me what is needed to meet OSHA standards, I was hoping some of you guys here can help me out with some of the...

Thanks... As for Streamline inspiration it's funny you say that because my business/shop is called Streamline Auto Care. :) I am going to try to find some vintage or even repopped signs to throw on the exterior of the office and a few other things. If I can find an old pump later down the road I...

I am in South Charlotte. A bit far from Raliegh unfortunately.

Thanks Shopnut! As or windows I have two... One looks out at all the bays. The other is a side sliding window I am installing either today or this weekend that I am making a service window. The sliding window is near the front door so the customer walks in, goes to the service window with a...

I did search through but only came across one which was the dentist office one that was killer looking by the way... I will continue to search and see what I come up with. In the meantime, if anyone has any ideas as far as color combos and things to add, it would be greatly appreciated. I will...

I have fire sprinkler system in my shop that is pretty darn old but still in service/use and the pipes are black (never painted, just how they came). I was thinking about painting them red since I am painting the entire shop this weekend (white floors and walls) and I think red fire sprinkler...

I looked through pages and pages in the search section for offices but had no luck finding anything. I could have sworn there were a few of these threads already but here it goes again... I recently started renting a 3000 sq ft building to do auto detailing out of. In the building is a nice...

Does anyone have pictures of old barns they turned into a car or motorcycle shop including loft upstairs? I am looking at a house with a big horse barn (dirt floors) and 3 car detached garage. I thought it would be cool to make a bike or car shop out of the barn with decent living quarters...

That is a sweet looking shop you got there. I would love to have something like that! What was or is your estimated cost on just the building itself, the concrete and electrical?
