The trick in this busuness that you need to have all of these equipment in one moment of time, only in that case you will be profitable. And you need the knowlage and skills how to work with equipment and locks, how to do repairs, programming etc, which usually noone has at the start. Even if you attend the trainings before that not helps you a lot. But in any case Locksmith is a great profession!
Fellow autosmith here. I agree.
Nicely put, well thought out response. in every trade you do need to do the most significant 'investment' that being; A high level of skills' as without the adequately time honoured skill set,learning from 'mistakes' on the actual job is a soul destroying activity that will inevitably result in 1 of 2 scenarios, Bankruptcy or, and no customers, regardless of how much clever and alluring marketing/advertising,as in a pretty short time period word spreads like wildfire,with no work equals no finances, lowering your charges to accommodate the most undesirable soul destroying jobs (steering locks and certain door locks on Audi's, Bmw's and Ford/French Vehicles will rapidly resign your best intent to throw the towel in and sign on the Dole! i speak with hard boots on the ground knowledge, the inferred 'Profit Margin' is a pie in the sky, Locksmiths here in the West Mids have all gone Skint with just a few Big Boys whom have got the finances to re-invest in the latest equipment, 25 Grand i'm afraid wont do much in Todays modern vehicles, esp with so much sophisticated Equipment, imagine attempting to remove the Drivers door panels on an Audi A5 without essential skills and the foresight in whats involved, or removing Mercedes ezs Lock at the side of the road, Cloud cuckoo land if you think it's going to be plain sailing, it's a gradual systematic buildup if you possess the tenacity and the patience of a Saint,with 10 years of solid backbone buildup .
Not precisly, I have been building slowly, got a cheap van($500), Low Quality inverter, used key machine. all in less than $2500. And slowly been buying new parts and tools on a job by job basis.
Thanks sharing cost van tools great help
My Mercedes key was done this guy does it all out of a rack 4 three computers
Great video, much appreciated given all the advice. Could I please ask you a question I’m a London black cab driver and I’m thinking of starting a new career. Do you think it’s worthwhile retraining to become a locksmith appreciate your honesty advice
What was the manufacturer of your silver tool box. I need to find a replacement for
the week ones I have and what you have may be what I need.
Who would you recommend for training?
What model of autel do you recommend? I am a diesel mechanic doing cars on the side. Is there an autel scan tool that will adapt with the programming side of things? Cheers mate great video.
Hi, how many of you are sharing working/sharing the profits?
Thanks for the vids.
How much of that cost was the van by itself?
hello sir
Is there anyway I could start a small locksmith business on the side of my current job and eventually build up to this level?
Do you have a video on the most basic operations you could start with?
I would love to learn to clone keys in our shop.
I don’t necessarily want to be a full time auto locksmith.
How many different cloning equipment would I need ?
you will need almost endless bits of equipment, it's all a 'con game' a never ending act of continuous re-investment, no-one will ever manufacture equipment that does pretty much every vehicle that was ever made, each manufacture had their own peculiar design into their locks and security systems, you need to get a period of work experience from Locksmiths, something they Guard with their lives, and is passed down from Father to son, that's how it is in virtually everything out there.
Like a hobbit I like that lol
What’s the split between kit and van on that price?
Buy the most reliable van possible, as in it are your lifetimes investment, your source of income. buying the shittiest and the most unreliable workhorse is to say the least brain numbing and meaningless akin to throwing money down the drain.
Where can i learn the skills please as new beginner? I am 50
Yes.
Hi sir i want tiring
is £25k including the van ?
Yes
