hi,
My name is Andy Finnie and I'm a stay at home dad that likes to repair chainsaws for fun. I have been asked to take it to the next level by a few people and become a shop owner. I will be running it out of my garage between kids, school and well, life. I've got around 20 years as master certified auto mechanic and have no problem translating the expirence to power equipment.
I first would like some input as to the hourly rate most shops charge and services that go along with it. Im not looking for someone's business plan just a place to start. Pricing , packages stuff like that.
And also, who do I contact for pricing on whole sale parts and such? Is that at the local level or more regional? The auto business was all local. And do not know if saws are different. I've been ordering parts off the web at no markup And would like to change that if I could.
I thank you very much for your time.
You guys rock!!
