Default the ultimate aftermarket shop

I'm doing some research and I want your opinions.

What would you look for in the "perfect" aftermarket shop?
A place where you can get upgrades to your car, a place to hang out, etc

Besides labor cost, what are things that you are looking for. this could be building design, lighting, tools, location, etc etc

Default looks like you are considering ideas for a business plan!.. (long)

i was thinking of the same idea~!!

design - find an architect friend. design something out of this worldly unique. see if it can be done. with a discount. )

lighting - use natural resources like the sun! windows that shine upon the cars like god.

tools - im not a car freak, so i wouldn't know. high quality tools (since you're working on high quality cars). promote one brand -- become a sponsor and get free tools yielding lower initial capital.

location - hey, i guess dallas seems like a good start for the first shop. think about perfecting and expanding.

name and slogan - be clever and must work hand in hand!

specialize in 2 or 3 makes first. high quality upgrade shops are hard to find in my opinion.

as for a hangout you can try a smoothy shop, perhaps cocktails and bar. also something i would have for sure is a hydraulic lift for people who want to work on their own cars. pay per hour of use. they must bring their own tools. have a few rooms like this. then they can walk over to the bar and get some beer. perfect.

hope this helps. if not, i just wasted essential time! gtg bye!
