    I have run a tire shop for 43 years! It's no easy job, it's no 9 to 5 job either, I spend a lot of time in the shop behind the scenes doing paperwork, research, patching used tires that I got in that day so I can sell them the next day, it's a very repetitive job, you WILL wear yourself out physically if you stick with it a long time like I did. Did I make money? yes, did I get rich? hell no! Did I make a lot of casual friends? yes. Would I do it again if I had a chance to start over? NO! It's not a lazy man's job by any means. If anyone has any questions you can ask me too. This fellow did say some correct things, but you would need more inventory than I see in his shop in my area.

    • @jlc7300
      @jlc7300 6 лет назад +1

      You need to have a hands on position to some degree, I am always the last person to do a final inspection on any used tires we buy, remember it's all about safety and staying out of court. It's really hard to find good help that you can be confident in that they tightened someone's lugs tight enough or put the right tire on a vehicle that was correct. For me I just need to be there, and down the road when I retire I will probably never go back, I don't want to hear or see the jams that someone got themselves into because they didn't listen to me when I trained them.

    • @americanmuscle6264
      @americanmuscle6264 5 лет назад +2

      agree with everything he said. I have 20 years under my belt and im 34. if I had no shop would I do it again? no. I can name at least 50 businesses that I rather do for living. but im way deep in so its the best thing for me. can you run a shop and not be there ? no. this is an active business. you sell new tires in morning, keep the old tires, later on during day you sell the used ones to somebody else. Can you track that ? no. the person who you will leave there will keep the money since used tires are untrackable. and there will be many cases that will be a "every case is different" so how is your crew going to know if there will be times "every case is different"? they wont know! and then what happens? put 16 on a 16.5 rim (explodes) a semi rolls in with no air in tire and been rolling it for miles and then says to shop "put air in tire please and then what "explodes" ever heard a semi tire explode? like 4 m80s. you gotta be there when its your shop and that is the worst thing about the business

      new tire dealers are very easy to find because when you open your shop they will find you. they have reps and there job is to find you and sell to you as much as they can. to me one of the the biggest time wasters is reps calling or coming over because there is one rep in each dealer for your area , now picture 10 dealers 10 reps calling you visiting you every week. as for used tires its the work. your job is to find the used tires. that's the work. the best way to do it is having many small streams of connects of used tires. one guy works at small auto shop that changes tires, he keeps used cause no one cares for them, he comes sells them to you. another guy works at bmw dealer as auto tech , tire guys change tires but he keeps tires because he kissis managers butt, he comes to you and sells you tires. used tires distribution company that gets containers in from other countrys and they sell to the used tire shops. those can be found by online cause they will market themselves on google ect. they usually want you to buy at least 100 but sometimes they give you wack sizes so you got to befriend them and then you can choose what you want and don't want when it comes to sizes. many sources is the best way to get your used tires.

      it depends on the size and the tread life. on 14s I do everything 35 no matter if its 95% life because the 14s are cheap new, smaller 15s with high tread $40. taller 15s 40 to $45. small 16s 40 but suv 16s you can do 50 no problem with good tread life. for me, moving so much volume I don't really look at how much I get the tires anymore I look at size and tread life. many times I get tires for 15 bucks but sell for 75, 100 each, hard sizes to get like wide 20's. its an eerday thang u know!
