Ok im posting this in here to get opinions from people that i talk to on a regular basis before i decide what i want to do and post this any were else.
Ok so since i got a new job at the base im in a unique situation and trying to figure out what i want to do. I love messing with car and always have so closing my shop isnt going to happen not to mention (even though my job at the base will more then pay my bills) i make good money at my shop . So this is the deal i was thinking of giving the guys in my area a oppurtunity that i would have loved to have had when i was younger . Everybody wants to work on there own stuff or paint there own stuff but has no were to do it . Im thinking maybe starting up a car club with use of my shop as part of it . Lets say 100 dollars to get into the club (plus the members already in it would have to vote you in) and 50 dollars a month to stay in . To start off with im not trying to make money off this i have my own money . The money will be put in a seperate account with a portion used to buy stuff for the club and a portion used to pay the over head of the shop. If it actually gets up and going ill buy a dyno for everybody use but this gives everybody a chance to to learn something . have access to a paint booth and lift and ill also let them use my specialty tools . i figure i will put a limit as to how long you have to be in the club before you can use the booth and lift that will stop people from trying to just use me for my shit . Id like to keep the shop open to have some were to make a little side money and work on my own stuff and this will give evrybody else the same oppurtunity . Any side work done 20 % will go into the car club fund to help buy shit for the shop which can be voted on . The first thing i would do is install a 16 camera security system not just to protect my stuff but every club members and any theift or druggs will not be tolerated . I dont care what you smoke or pop on your own time but not at my shop .
Its just a idea to try to get more people involved in being able to fix up there own car and learn how the right way instead of using a spray can . For the people that are going to think im trying to make money off of other people i have plenty of business and i charge 1,500 starting out for a paint job so if i help you paint your car how many 50 dollar months would it take to pay 1,500 dollars. I would also give all my discounts to club members and we would all have somebody to hang with at races .No i am not going to build motors for free for club members but i will show you how or build it at a discount .
Im sure there will be alot of negative reasons why i shouldnt do thid trust me i can think of 500 but its kinda my way of trying to help everybody so try and give me some good ideas on how to make this work . I know evrybody in middle georgia and i can go as far as getting these people good jobs if i can see what kind of person theu are and what there talents are so that i dont mind putting my name out there for them .
