Auto Repair Shop Equipment List
Are there any car repairs that are simple to somewhat complex but that require expensive equipment?
I guess what I’m asking is if there any repairs that don’t require expert skill, but do require expert equipment in order to complete? I’m doing research to open an auto shop that I can contribute to the repairs at, but I don’t have a ton of technical knowledge. If you can think of any, can you list the repairs and corresponding pricey tools? Thanks!!
This could include repairs that you could finagle yourself with regular tools but that you risk serious damage to your car if you don’t have the proper equipment, whereas with proper equipment it is moderately simple to do correctly.
Air conditioning, wheel alignments, glass replacement, computer reprogramming, tire changing and balancing
I would start a 24/7 mobile repair service
