Re: Basic Tools Required To Set Up An Auto Service Workshop by engineerpatrick:
You need a land with good structure and standard to attract and convince customers, 2 or 3 sets of tool box, crane, ground pit or a pole lift, Autel Maxi das DS708 or any diagnostic machine on board, special tools like torque range, special socket spanners that doesn't come with tool box, need a helping hand like an Engineer by your side, may Auto-elect or Mechanic. There are other things contact me, still a serving corper, trained under Anammco company Enugu and also work as road side Mechanic with experience for years before proceeding NYSC program in lagos. Have same idea but no money to establish it. Contact engranipatrickgreat@gmail.com

Good day house,

Please I would beg some one to help me list the major tools and equipment required to set up an auto service workshop (excluding land/building). This is urgently required for some feasibility studies on a site. As many sections as possible can be included. If possible, an estimated budget would be great too, but if not possible, still no problem. All and any other relevant data is highly welcome and appreciated. Thanks.

gazzuzz .. ZIMDRILL .. Ikenna351 .. Honmusa .. Mayor123 .. Nurey .. Please, help do justice.

Nairaland, a funny place full of various kinds of people. I appreciate all your responses. To those making insultive comments, well, all I can tell you is that who asks questions, no dey miss road. I remembering mentioning apart from land and stuff. You really think every business is owned by people with the practical knowledge every time? Some persons learn their business on the job. Some persons have sponsors/family who have the money but don't the time but are ready to invest in you to build businesses when your passion meets their interests. Anyways, I don't need to go into full details. Thanks for your responses.

For the positive comments, I am very grateful. Any other contributions are also highly welcomed.

In life, pick the useful fruits and do away with the weeds. I greet you all ooo.

Auto workshops theses days have gone beyond basic tools.I have such plan to establish one on the island where I reside.After my observation,I found out that most auto workshops here are not that efficient in carrying out their services.I have theses Togo guys on the mainland that specialized on Toyota and Honda.I.am looking for a good site for them here on the island and if i find one,my tools will be stuffs like normal manual wrench sets,power wrench (no more losing and tighting bolts and nuts with manual process as it can be done with electric process),pneumatic tools,diagnosing tool,industrial jacks,pully crane for engine and spare part store.My workshop will be strictly for Honda and Toyota.

If business is moving well,I can buy a bus for mobile workshop so that our customers can give us a call for home service.we are planning to own stuffs like towing van with which I can tow clients car to our workshop for repairs.

We shall also have car to convey our clients to their various destination in an invent in which their cars breaks down on their way to keep an appointment.
Hello bro. Please dis you continue with this idea
