Like the sound of own body shop & mechanic-lots of stock out there seems to need paint, if you could do that yourself seems like a bonus over time for you 👍
Best of luck. 2 parts of advise . Get security cameras set up ideal for Lewis Hamilton delivery drivers. Also as hard as it might be being Mr nice guy is not always the best policy as people will try to take advantage
Two Good points, Which ive learned hard way. CCTV Is going up, within next week. Got CCTV, Just not good enough at the moment. Mr Nice guy really doesn't work in this trade.. I agree
Speak to Dave the lovely car company, has recently set up at unit with an in house mechanic, there is also a podcast / YT video where him, Joe and Lee (Car UK) talk about the equipment he should get (nov 24 i think it was). I do social media / YT stuff for them and as far as i know its one of the best things he's done, his words. In the mean time you could kit it out and get mobile mechanics in to use the area for your cars until your ready to employ them. great content btw, also I love the welsh accent with words like Fumming hehe. Lastly what they done to that audi is out of order. any way keep smiling and good luck with your new start up
This is exactly how I'm setup, unit with ramp etc & have a mobile mechanic come out to me. Works well, means I'm not ferrying cars around too much, and mechanic is happy as he has a decent space to work in.
I hope you have had strong words with the transporter. I am a transporter and use Shiply for some work. It pisses me off when transporters let the side down
That garage could be a perfect little mechanic workshop!, a nice 2 poster and some machines and you’ll be set up, and obviously someone with the tools😳😂
I'd be fuming, tamping, raging if the delivery company had done that to a vehicle of mine so you're well within you're rights to complain about it...tbh you've been very gracious in accepting just a refund on the delivery charge for the damage the chuckle brothers caused!!!...🤡🤡 I'd avoid that delivery company now like the plague going forward as once bitten twice shy tbh...Great update video and a nice collection of vehicles u now have so looking forward to seeing them when they are all prepped and best of luck on the sales front my Welsh friend...💪🏼🚘🚙🏴😍
Thank you Sir, you only seen the gracious side, the words coming out of my mouth and some of the conversation with the owner, was far from... 😂😂 ill be leaving a review, so other don't have to go through it. SOD them
@BargainBangers Well done my friend 👏🏻 That company needs outing for the poor service they clearly dished out to you and probably countless others... Don't blame u for cussing on a MASSIVE scale when u saw the Audi with the bumper and bonnet in the state they were in...What an absolute bunch of clowns 🤡🤡 those 2 idiots are and what a poor company they are for not doing more to sort out their staffs mistake!!!... Good luck going forward butty 💪🏼🚘🚙🏴😍
Poor show by the delivery company.... As you say, things do go wrong, and we all have bad days, but honesty is always the best policy.... Good to see your progress and thanks for sharing! I might be able to help you with a PDI sheet... Let me know the best email and I'll send over. All the best!
Leave the workshop and body shop to further down the line. Too many overheads too soon is a killer. Get yourself upto 4-5 sales a month first. Find a local valeter that can do a car for £45. That will free your time up to concentrate on turning the cars over. Don’t employ anyone, too expensive. You can manage 10-15 cars without any staff if you are outsourcing your valeting. Do you own your own house? If so consider BCA partner finance. If you can do disks and pads, wheel bearings etc yourself then great. Find someone local who is happy to weld up new flexi pipes etc, much cheaper than replacing. Meet manager at your local Kwik fit, they should do you a good deal on MOT’s if you have volume. Kwik fit for exhausts too. I do all of above and that’s what works for me.
Yes own my house, so I'll have to consider the BCA Partner Finance, not something ive looked into. With the Valeter totally agree, and thats been sorted already. Bodyshop is my main source of income, so that can't stop, as im still running it but trying to get the structure in place, with it. At the momen, I'll just be doing everything my side, keeping costs as low as possible
Purely because of how busy the body shop is, yes it’s an advantage but bodyshop is running with a 8 week waiting time, and don’t have time to finish customers cars. So hard to find the time, to put them in that’s all
WTF is wrong with people. I get it, if it was 1 guy on his own, but to have a spotter and still end up like that 😱. Hopefully there's enough margin in it to lessen the pain.

Seems like its the way its going to go.. Just need more staff I think 😂
Looks like it’s all coming together for you. Getting that second unit together will be a game changer
Great honest content. Keep the videos coming. Yes get a mechanic in you will be in control of everything then.

a space for Mobile mechanics is a very good idea, until I have the flow to take something on. You may have started some cogs there.... thank you 😂😂
@@BargainBangers Stick around ive got many great ideas, well at least they are good in my head hehe
This is exactly how I'm setup, unit with ramp etc & have a mobile mechanic come out to me.
Works well, means I'm not ferrying cars around too much, and mechanic is happy as he has a decent space to work in.
Think this makes a lot of sense, think im going to look into this the weekend..
Anyone having to ask not to get a bad review automatically deserves to get a bad review.
😂😂 I actually agree with you, and ive decided they are having it. Save someone else going through it, just the way they handled it..
keep up the work love the vids as always, i think a mechanic is worth it eventually but maybe dont rush things if its not needed yet?
Thank you, think im just wondering cost at the moment to see if its possible..
Just bought my first auction car, your channel gave me the push to get started flipping cars, thank you!
love it, nothing to loose by trying 👌👍
I hope you have had strong words with the transporter. I am a transporter and use Shiply for some work. It pisses me off when transporters let the side down
That’ll teach me not to watch it all before commenting 😮
Plus it sounds like that was put on a 3.5t truck 😮
It was a old mark 6 Ford transit with a steel body,
So probably 3.5t on it’s own 😂🙈
That garage could be a perfect little mechanic workshop!, a nice 2 poster and some machines and you’ll be set up, and obviously someone with the tools😳😂
Thats the hardest bit, is finding people 😂 with experience anyway
@ yes definitely, and todays going rate for a decent mechanic is anywhere from £4-600 a week
think they worth every penny, but its the decent bit thats hard finding
@@BargainBangers Id probably come forward to do it but pretty sure im planets away from you haha, I live about it a hour out of London😭😂
I'd be fuming, tamping, raging if the delivery company had done that to a vehicle of mine so you're well within you're rights to complain about it...tbh you've been very gracious in accepting just a refund on the delivery charge for the damage the chuckle brothers caused!!!...🤡🤡

Have you painted the Caddy Capri Green?
No, can’t remember the name of the colour, but it’s off a Mazda 323

Why don’t you want anything that needs paint when you have a body shop? Surely this is an advantage?
Purely because of how busy the body shop is, yes it’s an advantage but bodyshop is running with a 8 week waiting time, and don’t have time to finish customers cars. So hard to find the time, to put them in that’s all

Tell me about it, people just don't care anymore..
£20,000? Thats not enough
