    Thinking about adding to my business Need Some Advice

    Hello AG friends, would like to ask if anyone knows where I can see about interior repair got a nice offer from the dealership I landed for doing Headlights, the owner told me that he pays the guys at the auction around 150 to 250 bucks per vehicle and he said that he would like for me to do it and he would pay me the same instead of the other guys guess he really likes my headlight work lol, no but seriously do you guys think it is worth getting into? if yes what can you tell me UPS & Downs of that business.

    Also I checked with Milly who is the Manager there and she let me look at some of the invoices, so he does pay that much just wanted to make sure I wasn't going to be doing it for less lol

    I appreciate all comments and advice thank you

    Louie

    Depends on what their having done. If its just a cigarette burn or two, great profit, if its replacing sections of worn-out leather, your screwed

    Hi Flash I hear ya on that, can you recommend a system or some where I can learn more about it, I am pretty sure if the work is that drastic he must understand that it would cost more, I will not let these guys take me for a fool
