And if there are no such abilities, then there is an opportunity to use the services of masters.

Prices in Moscow

When there is a need for inexpensive, but high-quality maintenance the best option there will be a trip to a self-service car service. Moscow is a rather expensive city, and the services of craftsmen are also expensive, so do-it-yourself repairs will be more preferable and economical for many. The rental price of the site will depend on its configuration, and also takes into account the period for which payment is made (hour, day or month). All these points are discussed individually.

The price of the "self-service car service" service of the Avto7777 technical center includes only a fixed hourly rental of the premises, the so-called tariff changes only at the request of the client. The price of "options" is naturally cheaper than car repairs by service center specialists (after all, the pros pay for their knowledge and experience, which is often invaluable).

For an additional fee, you can use a car lift, a tool (in the list of which the car owner can find, with the exception of professional equipment: a wheel alignment stand; welding semi-automatic designed to provide services for the repair of mufflers; a computer scanner and a motor tester that allows for competent engine diagnostics; tire fitting equipment, metalwork tool, sets of combination wrenches and sockets, transmission rack and a set for changing brake pads, pneumatic tools ...).

Reasons to look for a self-service car service

The first and perhaps the main reason to self-service your car is a significant savings in the family budget. The second, no less important, is distrust of "respectable" car service specialists, which sometimes really deserves close attention, but you should know that much more often cases of a car owner's "divorce" occur in dealerships, because the cost of uninstalled (original) spare parts plays a significant role here. , which are subsequently implemented by "decent" car mechanics professionals.

Naturally, often a competent car owner (who is well versed in repairing his car) simply lacks the tool that is required to eliminate a malfunction that has appeared in his car, and in the "cold" season, "self-service" on the street threatens with loss of health, which in turn does not will affect the repair in a warm box and in good light ...

An equally important aspect in Moscow will always be the remoteness of the technical center for servicing your particular car, because we are approached by technically savvy car owners who, for a number of reasons, are located or live in ZAO or SWAD of Moscow, and our self-service car service suits them quite well in terms of pricing policy .

Self-service car service and price

Even with self-service - the price of car repair will always be a priority, here you need to understand that (charging for your services hourly pay) a car service in this case is only an intermediary renting a room to the car owner, whose knowledge and skills allow him to personally service and repair a personal car, but weather conditions or technical equipment and the lack of a specific tool do not allow the car owner to fix the problem.

The total cost - self-service in any car service (providing this service), as a rule, this is the sum of the time spent + purchased auto parts. Moreover, the total rental payment directly depends on the efficiency of the car owner and his skills in using the equipment and tools of the technical center.

Even an increase in the scheduled repair time often has a positive effect on the cost of repairs, because in fact you pay only rent.

The obvious benefit of self-service in a car service

It is quite easy to calculate the clear advantage of self-service, which is expressed in terms of money remaining in the hands of the car owner. A client who understands auto repair and chooses this service knows that almost any malfunction that has arisen during the operation of the car, eliminated with his own hands, is often work done "in good faith".

An elementary, (at first glance) valve cover gasket replacement, with self-service already brings its "dividends" in cash, so in a car service you will have to pay at least 500 rubles for this service, and an independent half-hour replacement will cost about 150 rubles, a trifle, but nice. Replacing piston rings (independently), this is practically minus the cost of auto parts - when they are replaced by car mechanics.

Banal self-maintenance - maintenance of a car, with the replacement of all kinds of filters and technical fluids, can save a significant part of the amount sufficient to purchase consumables ...

We ask you to pay attention of our customers to a competent orientation in terms of repair time, the management of the car service rents out only free places at the moment, and does not "only" rent lifts for self-service

Keep in mind that downtime on the territory adjacent to the technical center (due to the fault of the car owner) costs 150 rubles. day.

Any motorist sooner or later faces the problem of breaking his car. And if new cars under warranty are serviced in service centers at official dealers, then cars manufactured more than two or three years ago are already more profitable to repair from private individuals in their own car services.

The main amount of expenses for the car owner sometimes falls not even on the purchase of spare parts, but on the services of locksmiths. For example, repairing the chassis of budget models involves the purchase of relatively inexpensive parts, but the work of the craftsmen is estimated at a much higher amount than the purchase of spare parts.

At the same time, many owners have their own experience and knowledge in servicing an iron pet, but a complete repair is hindered by a lack of facilities, equipment and space; this problem is especially common for residents of apartments in big cities. Therefore, a person is forced to contact a service station, not because he cannot deal with the breakdown, but simply because of the lack of tools or capabilities. To provide him with a garage equipped for car mechanic business means to give him freedom and save him from unnecessary expenses. At the same time, all responsibility for incompetent repairs lies with the owner himself, which saves the owner of the service from complex legal disputes.

Today, no one is surprised by a car wash organized on a self-service basis, but service repair centers, where the owner of the car is his own master repairman, are just beginning to appear in big cities. At the same time, the demand among car enthusiasts for such a service is only being formed, but in the future it will become sufficient for conducting such a business - the population has simply not yet thought about such a possibility. Hence the consequence, in order for people to learn about such a service, advertising is needed, moreover, active and quite widespread.

There are quite a lot of service stations, especially in large cities, this is a highly profitable business with constant stream customers, so you need to assess the level of competition. Self-service is a huge advantage, but it is aimed at a certain contingent; location in business centers will not pay off, because managers and executives are unlikely to prefer to deal with breakdowns on their own, they will need a specialist who, in their absence, will put the car in order. The main clients are experienced drivers who better than some masters understand the technical device of the car, and they prefer to deal with the malfunction in their free time. Therefore, the best location for a self-service car service will be places among sleeping quarters and residential areas. It is not critical if a standard service is located nearby, if the flow of its customers decreases, it will not stop at all - certain categories of drivers will not be able to drive a car on their own, preferring to even change wheels in the off-season by the hands of specially trained workers. Self-service, on the other hand, will attract a customer who is ready to get under the hood on his own (some motorists will perceive such a workshop as an opportunity to simply study a serviceable car, but their percentage is relatively low) and not ready to pay money for someone else's work. In this case, the location near some well-known car service can even be a good help at the beginning - literally from under the nose of a competitor, customers who want to save money will leave. The main thing to remember is that it will not be possible to fully cover the entire audience of car owners, and ordinary service stations will exist for a very long time, and such an undertaking only allows you to lure a specific part of the clientele to yourself.

Carrying out a marketing campaign will require about 50 thousand rubles - but this amount will include not only the cost of advertising directly, but also the possible creation of your own website, which will be both an information resource and an additional advertising place. The best way to convey information about your services to a potential consumer is through the distribution of leaflets or advertising on local radio.

Before starting, you need to register as a subject entrepreneurial activity, be sure to indicate the code (OKPD 2) 33.17 Services for the repair and maintenance other Vehicle and equipment, (OKPD 2) 68.2 Services for the lease (lease) of own or leased real estate and (OKPD 2) 77.39 Services for the rental and leasing of other machinery, equipment and material assets not included in other groups; it is recommended to use a simplified taxation system as a novice entrepreneur. It is unlikely that more than 20 thousand rubles will be required for all registration, and in the case of registration of a company with limited liability as authorized capital equipment can be specified.

After resolving legal issues, you can start looking for a place where the station will be located. At first, large areas will not be required, but in the future, it is immediately worth considering opportunities with an increase in rented premises in the future. At first, four boxes will suffice, while it makes sense to equip only two with lifts. Instead of lifts, repair pits can be installed, but this will create unnecessary difficulties for customers when entering the garage. To work, you will need to purchase all kinds of car mechanic tools in several sets, a device for removing tires from disks, a vacuum cleaner, air and water supply will be useful. Do not forget about at least the minimum service: sinks for washing hands, water coolers and coffee machines; vending machines can be a good source of additional passive income.

Ready-made ideas for your business

Although self-catering, staffing will be required. You can not neglect the hiring of an administrator who will also perform the role of a cashier, as well as a consultant. And to provide the full range of services, you will need the help of at least two qualified car mechanics who can help customers with simple tips or even, if the visitor understands that he cannot cope, they will offer their services. This is a very important point, because the lack of specialists will scare away a significant percentage of clients who, disappointed in their abilities, will pay the bill, but will never return. If a master of his craft arrives in time to help, the client, being satisfied with the service, will return to try his hand again, knowing that he will not be left without support in a difficult situation. However, due to the small volume of work, the hired car mechanics will not be able to work on a percentage, therefore, most likely, they will have to offer them a certain salary or completely allow them to take the entire amount paid for their work. Here the decision can be made depending on negotiations with future employees and on the number of visitors. However, the services of a car mechanic will not become the main source of income, but it is always possible to allocate one of the four boxes for a standard service station, but then the presence of competitors nearby will lead to this garage being idle and, accordingly, to the same inaction of the masters. In each specific situation, it is worth organizing a business in its own way, and it is better to consider all such subtleties first. Until there are no alternatives, people from all over the city will go to the first station that appears, but as soon as a new player appears, he will easily take over that part of the clientele that lives in his area. Here it is worth making a name for yourself from the very beginning, while the business is new and many do not dare to try their own opening of such stations; but time will pass, and competitors will make themselves felt, by this time it is best to already be a well-established entrepreneur. And all because a monopoly in such a business sector as repair shops is not expected; here, surprisingly, there is an almost classical market of free competition.

The main advantage of a self-service car service is precisely the savings of the client's money. Moreover, savings on, it would seem, the most integral part - personnel. In the case of very minor malfunctions that can be fixed in ten minutes (for example, fixing license plates), a regular car service may even be preferable - it will come out cheaper. Therefore, hourly instrument rental is not suitable in all cases, you need to choose a list of prices that will be optimal and provide for all possible options.

Ready-made ideas for your business

To attract at first after the opening, a person who accidentally stopped by with an easily repaired breakdown can be provided with equipment for a few minutes for free, then the principle of "word of mouth" will work. The main thing is not to overdo it, so that there is no queue of people who want to screw something up without paying for using the tools.

The round-the-clock operation of the service will also be a good help, but due to high costs, especially while there are few customers, you can simply provide the opportunity to leave the car in the box for the night for a low fee. It is still worth providing the service with a burglar alarm - both the costs are small, and the risks are significantly reduced, and the client is calmer. However, to eliminate possible losses, it is worth immediately discussing the conditions for freeing the garage from a car left overnight, because in the morning new customers may arrive who may leave the service with nothing, leaving the entrepreneur without money and with a bad reputation. It is best to take the car into storage on a turnkey basis so that you can kick it out or roll it out, or simply set penalties for delaying time and additional storage.

So, how much money will you need to open a garage? The main item of expenditure is equipment. It should be designed for a wide range of jobs, while being available in more than one copy and not very difficult to maintain. It is unlikely that anyone will risk doing body work with painting and straightening without the help of specialists, so you should not buy such equipment right away, and in the future - only if there is demand.

For the arrangement of a self-service car service, a rounded figure of 690 thousand rubles will be required. Four boxes can be placed on 120 m 2, another 20 m 2 is needed for a rest room for free car mechanics and an administrator's place. You can rent such an area for an amount of 60 thousand rubles a month, depending on the city and location in it. It is necessary to take into account possible plumbing costs and the installation of a security system. The administrator can work for 15 thousand rubles a month, and locksmiths will receive money for helping clients. Now you can sum up the final calculation of the starting capital:

Now about income. Renting one workplace for an hour - 200 rubles, additionally with a lift - another 100 rubles (which is why there should be boxes free from them so as not to occupy equipment), the use of additional tools - from 50 rubles per hour. Depending on the schedule of the service, the administrator's salary may increase, the twelve-hour schedule is optimal from 8:00 to 20:00. Peak hours will be in the evening, but on weekends any time can be busy. If we assume the full workload of the station, then the income per day only for renting a workplace will be 2,400 rubles, that is, 72 thousand rubles a month. Lift rental will bring another 20,000 rubles a month, the rest of the income will come from equipment rental, overnight storage and a vending machine - this is about 30,000 more rubles. It turns out rounded 120 thousand rubles, or 40 thousand operating profit per month. However, it will not be possible to obtain such figures immediately, at first such a station will operate at a loss, only then the income will cover the costs, and only after a few months the businessman will be able to make a profit. The net profit from 40 thousand will be 34 thousand rubles, while the profitability of such an undertaking is about 30 percent, but with a fairly long payback period (up to several years).

As mentioned above, it is always worth having the opportunity to rent additional space; if queues begin to appear, then you can increase the schedule of the service (transferring it even to round-the-clock work), striving to as soon as possible increase the number of boxes. Such an undertaking is also good because, having earned a name for yourself, you can also open a self-service car wash in one building, allocate several boxes for a standard car service with permanent work of locksmiths, equip a car tuning garage - all this will significantly increase income, requiring not so significant investments.

There are enough prospects for the development of such entrepreneurship, success is possible if the businessman is ready to provide quality services for reasonable prices and go towards the client. The disadvantage of many auto repair shops is the low level of service, especially in the field of personnel service; such a business is initially devoid of this problem, which allows you to attract more and more new customers. If you constantly monitor the car services market, monitor the position of competitors and do not stop advertising (albeit not as actively as at the beginning), then you can become major center, in which it is possible to independently repair your car, wash it, while knowing that at any time you can contact competent specialists. Car enthusiasts will appreciate this.
