I was once the inside water leak guy at a dealer, making about $10.00/hr.... Then came baby..., I had to do something, so I left out to do it on my own from the trunk of my car, that was 1998.

After adding a list of other services, incl. tinting we (wife and I) now we have a 2500sq ft shop serving about 12 dealers.

Nothing is more rewarding than to know I/ we did it on our own.

I've had many dealerships and other folks try to get me to do their work in house. I tell them I am for HIRE...NOT for SALE.

There are some Dealers that are no longer subletting services like detailing, accessories, PDR and others, choosing to do it in house, with lots of success. I believe there are enough cars on the road for us all.

Worked a large dealer network in the Ft Myers area back in 1990 for about six months. 3M suit in the area landed the position for me. Thought I'd give it a go. Not great pay, but the benefits made up a little on what the salary lacked. Went from there to freelancing several shops in Naples, which lead to me purchasing one of the shops I was doing work for.

It's a last resort kind of thing and it certainly filled the payroll void I had at that tumultuous time in my life. :lol Got to do what you got to do... :eyebrows
