Start A Muffler Shop

There is no mistaking the sound of a damaged muffler.


There is no mistaking the sound of a car whose muffler needs to be replaced. Starting a muffler shop can be a logical next step for someone who knows about mufflers and has a little entrepreneurial spirit. All vehicles have them, and sooner or later most of them need to be replaced. Opening your own shop can prove to be a lucrative business venture while enabling you to do something you enjoy.


Instructions


1. Get experience in all aspects of the muffler business by working at a muffler repair shop. Learn about muffler replacement, repair, troubleshooting, and pricing.


2. Create your business plan. Use it as a blueprint to guide your business where you want it to go.


3. Secure a location for your shop. Find a commercial site, as working from your home will seem unprofessional. Look for high traffic areas, preferably with other vehicle related businesses nearby.


4. Obtain any licenses, permits, or registrations you will need to operate a muffler shop at the location you have chosen.


5. Market your business. Create business cards and flyers and distribute them in neighbourhoods and businesses in your geographical area. Create a website that lists your services, pricing and experience. Consider having a grand opening event and invite local media and politicians.
