This could be fun. I`m about to sign a lease for a 1000 square foot space to detail cars here in Indianapolis. It is new, storefront type space with an overhead door towards the rear.
There are many decisions ahead for me in the next 6 weeks (I intend to open Jan 1! Brrr!)
I know Autopians can help ( I love this forum!)
You can help by giving your best suggestions on a variety of tools and supplies.
Just for starters, I`ll need info on the following:
Signage
Brochures, BizCards, etc
LAYOUT!
Scissor Lift
Tool Box,w /casters
Table/Cart w/ casters
Air compressor/ Tools/Accessories
Hoses/Reels
Lighting
Carpet cleaning
And, of course, inventory!!!
I intend to begin with David`s guidelines, and I`ll listen to the Board for other thoughts (ala Zaino, etc)
I`ve recently acquired an air compressor (no tools yet!) and I`ll certainly get a PC to augment my current 9" Black & Decker random orbital polisher (old school, but it`s very effective)
Wanna Help? Your thoughts are appreciated. I`lll post at least 5 days per week, if not more, so that you can follow the progress!
Pictures of the space will follow next week/ Thursday? It is 40`x25` with a standard storefront/mostly glass look.Iit faces north, is 40` deep, and has the overhead door on the west(towards the back) side.
I really look forward to your thoughts on ANY aspect of this design. I think I have a clear vision of the design, but, boy am I open to the help of fellow Autopians!
Guaranteed photos (new 3.2 camera) of the progress!
Let`s have fun!
