What services does the auto shop provide? First of all, it is the hauling of the car interior with various fabrics and leather, the hauling of the ceiling, torpedo, airbags, steering wheel hauling, as well as dyeing and restoration of leather in the interior. According to some reports, this particular segment of auto-tuning is in the greatest demand.

The main client of such ateliers is the owners of used cars. There may be several reasons to update the car's trim. Firstly, some people want to embellish their car in view of individual preferences. Secondly, some owners want to trim the interior of the car before selling it in order to increase its final cost. And finally, thirdly, there are those who simply disdain to ride in the salon after the previous owners. The owners of new cars, as a rule, do not apply for such services (why spoil the regular, new skin).

To find out how much it costs to trim a car, it is enough to drive the phrase into a search engine: "order trim" and you will receive a number of offers from the most different firms (mainly Moscow).

Impressive, isn't it? The amounts are considerable. In this case, the income is about 30% of the indicated amounts. Why only 30? First of all, here you should take into account the cost of material (leather, alcantara, etc.) and staff salaries. These expenses alone eat up half of the service revenue. Then, after all, you still need to pledge the cost of renting premises, utilities, taxes and other "force majeure".

Nevertheless, a profit of 10-15 thousand rubles from one car can be considered a good indicator. Fully sheathing 10-15 cars a month, you can earn at least 100 thousand rubles. Another thing is how to attract at least 10 cars to the atelier. And this is not as easy as it seems at first glance.

It is also worth considering that such a business will "go" only in medium and large cities, with an abundance of solvent customers (not every car owner will decide to sheathe a salon for 60 thousand rubles). In small towns, opening a specialized auto shop is not always a smart idea.

However, we propose to study a small instruction on opening a car shop in your city.

We select a room

To organize the work process, you will need a heated room with an area of \u200b\u200b50 m2 or more. A garage room is perfect for these purposes, since renting such objects is not so expensive. At the same time, it is desirable that the size of the box allows to accommodate at least 3 cars at the same time. Rent of such areas will cost from 25,000 rubles per month, depending on the region.

What equipment to choose for a car shop

First of all, you will need to purchase equipment and tools for working with interior trim. This includes: wrenches for gaskets, a set for removing door panels, a set for removing interior trim, a set of pry bars, a set of pullers decorative panels interior, a set of screwdrivers. You also need to purchase sewing machines and hair dryers. Everything about everything will take at least 150 thousand rubles.

How much money is needed to open a car shop

In addition to the equipment, at the start of the business it is necessary to purchase the appropriate consumables for the upholstery of the interior: natural leather, leatherette, velor, auto-carpet, vinyl and alcantara. The most expensive upholstery material is leather and alcantara. One running meter of quality material will cost at least $ 80. The material should be purchased with a stock, at least in order to fulfill small operational orders. The cost of purchasing it will be at least 50 thousand rubles.

Also, certain costs may be associated with the preparation of the premises, minor repairs and the purchase of furniture and shelving. Add another 50 - 100 thousand rubles. In total, the total cost of starting a business under favorable conditions will amount to at least 300 thousand rubles.

Staff recruitment

“A good studio needs good craftsmen” - this is the slogan that every newly-made auto studio should have. The minimum staff of workers should include two seamstresses, a cutter, a salon hauling specialist and an assembly / disassembly specialist. The approximate salary fund for such a team will be about 60 - 90 thousand rubles per month.

Ideally, the auto shop worker should take appropriate courses on the case. To do this, you will most likely have to visit Moscow. For example, there is a company called Rusty Brothers, which invites everyone to master the art of making exclusive car interiors. The approximate cost of a 20-day course is 30-50 thousand rubles. Upon completion of the courses, the trainee gains knowledge about the materials used in tuning the car interior, about the equipment and tools for tightening the interior. An employee can easily make patterns and re-tighten the steering wheel, gear knob, seats, ceiling, doors and dashboard.

Yes, there is a risk that having trained an employee for his own money, he will then safely go to his business (or to a competitor). But, alas, it will not work to build a profitable business without qualified personnel.

Skilled workers, by the way, are needed not only to make beautiful cladding. Most of the work here is based on the collection and disassembly of interior parts, which in the absence of relevant experience can be expensive for the contractor. On business forums, you can read cases when "garage craftsmen" out of inexperience broke airbags at expensive cars, which eventually cost them considerable sums (40 - 60 thousand rubles). Only one such case can ruin a business in the bud.

List of services provided

Market players are advised to deal not only with the upholstery of the car interior. It is necessary to expand the list of services provided in order to earn really decent money. For example, you can offer customers window tinting, car vinyl, anti-gravel films, optics booking, interior dry cleaning, polishing, repair and refueling of an air conditioner, and so on. Yes, this will require the purchase of additional equipment and the hiring of additional workers (or training of existing ones), but this will avoid periods of complete absence of orders (season, competitors, etc.).

What type of advertising is better for auto shop

Most entrepreneurs claim that advertising is the key in this business. Moreover, the more unique and creative it is, the better. For example, you can buy an old VAZ or Volga, repaint it, make a colorful tuning, alter the interior, hang neon ribbons and place an advertisement for a car dealership on the car in large letters. And here's a live advertisement. The main thing is to drive this car more often through the city streets.

Classic advertising methods work well here: radio, TV, banners, leaflets, posting ads. You can order the creation of your own website - a very effective advertising channel. The cost of creating a website will be about 30-50 thousand rubles. You will not see the return on these investments immediately (the site has been promoted in search engines for several months), but in the future the site will bring you customers on an ongoing basis.

In conclusion, advice from the forum member "Sergey.O" on working with leather (taken from the chipmaker.ru forum):

Padding torpedo leather:

The prospects for this business are quite good today, every fifth car sold in Russia falls into the hands of tuning masters. The demand for their services is growing. This trend is very developing in Russia, and the need for specialists is growing. It is very profitable: little competition, if there is a great need, a workshop is not required to run this business, and if required, it is not a store for expensive rent.

After all, there are so many areas of activity in tuning:

• Engine tuning - chip tuning: increasing engine power by reconfiguring the control unit
• Interior tuning: leather upholstery, installation of advanced "music", etc.
• External tuning: various body kits - bumpers, fenders, exhaust system tuning, etc.

You see how many different directions of your business. After all, not everyone can buy foreign cars, but everyone wants to make a car that is different from others.

You can change anything in the car. And according to the data, every fifth car sold in Russia undergoes different tuning.

The variety of tuned cars depends on national characteristics... In the USA, the gangster-rapper style prevails, in Japan - street racing or racing, in Germany the driver primarily wants to improve comfort. But in Russia there is no specific tuning style, all varieties are present here in approximately equal proportions.

It is almost impossible to find out the volume of the Russian tuning market, since the maximum part is in the shadow. According to experts, we are talking about hundreds of millions of dollars. The tuning market leaders include the companies "Tuning Point", Pro-sport, "Tuning Territory", Altechno, Sport-mobile, Pit Lane, LD-Turbo, "Promaster", "Lit-design", 4stars.

But car manufacturers have their own opinion on tuning, wary or indifferent. Manufacturers of expensive foreign cars offer their customers full-time, already exclusive tuning, provided by the factory program. But such tuning is not cheap either.

These companies have their own model lines with tuning - increased engine power, leather interiors exclusive in color and quality, etc. These are cars of the plant, they are covered by a guarantee. But the price for such a pumped-up car will be higher: For example, an Audi 4 costs an average of $ 45 thousand, then the price of a tuned version may exceed $ 100 thousand.

Many do not know that a car with chip tuning leads to wear and tear on the engine, suspension and other parts. Even the demand for more quality oil and fuel. It is clear that an increase in engine power leads to additional costs for a number of items. But if this is done underground, reconfiguring the control unit will simply ruin the engine. Let's say with increasing power audi engine only 20 liters. from. the cost of each connecting rod increases by $ 200, because it already has a different design.

In principle, chip tuning is not so difficult for knowledgeable people of course. And it will not be difficult to establish your professional activities for this.

The increase in power by tuning the engine is not recorded anywhere. However, in some cases, the tuning change in engine power is still recorded (not to be confused with replacing one engine with another). And it becomes too expensive to pay for power. If the capacity of 300 forces the tax will be 30 thousand rubles. per year, and of course the owner of such a beast deliberately underestimates the number of "horses" under the hood, pointing to some "ecological" or "economical" tuning, which allowed to reduce the power. The cost of such a paper "tuning" is about 15 thousand rubles.

The owners of other foreign cars use tuning less often. Some companies work with all foreign cars up to 10 years old popular in Russia ( Ford focus, Volkswagen passat, Mazda3, etc.). But this is a car for the middle class, and their tuning potential is not great.

Those who buy Nissan and Citroen are not too solvent for in-depth tuning, that is, they buy a car either on credit or with their last money.

Salon tuning

The companies dealing with car interiors have much more demand and success in development. Not everyone wants or can become a racer, but very many want to cover the interior with leather and install AV electronics (including high-end ones), a GPS navigation system, improve noise and vibration isolation, etc., and in most cases it can be done without big problems (it is, of course, not about finances). Buying a car, immediately after running in, they begin to tune the interior.

Here, as one might say, there is where to roam, more brands cars where you need to put speakers, amplifiers, a subwoofer, etc., or even an office with navigation, is approximately at the same level. Both those who are still under warranty and those who are already 30 years old come. Equipment can also be purchased from dealers. The installation cost is about 50% of the price of the equipment itself. Entering the market for such tuning will cost from $ 100 thousand.

You can slightly improve the dynamics of the car by changing the exhaust system, as well as by overlaying its body with a body kit, the so-called aerodynamic skirt. The company 4stars made its business on homemade exhaust systems, its employees once participated in races. The know-how of the company is now in great demand.

By tuning the exhaust system, you can increase the engine power by 6-7 liters. from. For such manual production, you must have a guillotine, a press, lathe and some other little things, but the most important thing here is the golden hands, which are now in an acute shortage. All this equipment costs from $ 40 to $ 100 thousand.

Individual racers are not served in such services, they mainly cooperate with legal entities. persons, racing teams, etc. with an order for a kit. One of such orders for 10 sets with a silencer, a manifold and a resonator will cost $ 10,000 including warranty service. Previously, such exhaust systems were purchased in Finland, but the Finns in terms of price-quality ratio turned out to be far from ideal partners, and good prospects for production in Russia opened up. If only the share of marriage did not exceed. For example, the Austrian company - Remus ”3% of the marriage. And our Russian company has 4stars, the marriage rate is 1.5%.

It should be emphasized here that the developments of our masters are in no way protected in terms of authorship and wander from company to company, and many inventions are stolen by the Chinese.

Considering the peculiarities of Russian legal culture, it makes no sense to patent your own developments. No matter how you tune yachts or helicopters, people go to other companies, create own business and are using already stolen technology. As soon as they make small changes to the project, you will not prove anything in court.

To engage in external tuning - bumpers, fenders, sills, you do not need your own production area. It is better to engage in intermediary business here.

Realistically selling several body kits per month. It is better to order the body kits themselves at the factory, and only then send them for installation together with the car, and then paint and install them. It means to play the role of an intermediary: to make body kits according to ordered patterns, all activity will consist in accepting an order from a client and agreeing with subcontractors. But the factories themselves are not engaged in mass production of body kits, they do not need tuning as a business, and dealerships mostly do not show interest in this, as they are associated with the manufacturer. This means that such activities are in great demand. Well, the benefit of such services is about 20-25% of the price of the body kit, on average, a full body kit together with anti-fenders, bumpers, and a skirt costs the customer $ 4 thousand. You can earn about $ 3-5 thousand a month with such a business, because the most important thing overhead costs in such a business are minimal.

For tuning our cars, a body kit made of "folk" fiberglass is also suitable, but in the case of foreign cars it is more difficult, they use expensive ABS plastic. But the bulk of this business is underground, and this fiberglass is often passed off as a branded product. Moreover, shops usually sell body kit items with a 45-50 percent mark-up. As in many other business areas, tuning firms that initially established themselves as suppliers of good parts and service may over time lower the bar - for example, switch to using Chinese components.

Tuning is divided by types and brands of cars

Tuning is divided by car types and brands. And, in a separate segment, the products of AvtoVAZ are distinguished.

Basically, many people buy our cars, and then do tuning. They buy a "eight" "VAZ" for $ 8 thousand, and then bring its cost by tuning to $ 15 thousand. The fact is that, as a rule, these people have money for a more serious car, they just want to remember their youth, to drive , in search of adventures. It's like a hobby for them.

If you are engaged in tuning "VAZ", there are two main categories of buyers. The first one is the "kids" to whom the parents gave the first car so that they crashed it, and they tune it. Another category is those for whom tuning is a hobby. Tuning parts can be sold in your store and installed in cooperation with the auto center. Let half of the spare parts you have tuning, and the other - ordinary. The profitability of the business in terms of tuning is about 30%.

I think it should be noted that the cheapest tuning parts for the VAZ model are produced in the Togliatti, Lipetsk and Moscow underground, they cost 20% less than those offered by the "white" tuning companies. For example, a Top Ten bumper from a legal manufacturer costs 5.5-6 thousand rubles, but the same can be bought for 4 thousand. But, it will not be of high quality, this bumper is "licked" and not blown out in a wind tunnel.

tuning SUVs

But SUV tuning is considered a separate industry.

Making SUVs in our country is also profitable if you take up this industry. Equipment for an SUV tuning workshop costs the same as a set of equipment for a regular service. You yourself understand better than me that the one who makes monsters out of jeeps has a lot of money and is ready to pay decent money.

This requires different tools than conventional machines and a larger service area.

Now in Moscow there are about 20 specialized ateliers that tune SUVs. Specialized clubs are also working in this field - "Club 4 x 4", "Nivovody", Off Road Wrangler Club, etc. Simply, large services will not deal with exclusive orders - there is too much non-standard work, each car needs an individual approach.

Most often, "UAZs" are altered, 73rd and 80th Land cruiser, Wrangler, that is, "non-marketers". The most popular work is a suspension lift ($ 5-7 thousand), which makes it possible to install wheels with a larger diameter, thereby increasing the ground clearance. And in demand:

Widening the wheel arches

Installation of all kinds of protection for steering rods, engine crankcase, transmission units, cardan shafts.

Installing a snorkel to overcome water obstacles ($ 650-900)

Roof rack for spare tire and belongings.

Power bumpers and sills.

But, already full tuning assumes

Differentials with locks in the axles (from $ 1100),

Pairs of electric winches (from $ 850), additional headlights

And many other options, small and not so necessary for the driver and passengers in extreme travel.

All of this is written so that you understand that such services are worth the time and effort.

If you seriously tune an SUV, it will cost $ 15-20 thousand. And, this amount is not the limit, the price can grow, there are cases when the price reaches more than $ 100 thousand. Further maintenance is also not cheap: for example, monthly maintenance of a tuned UAZ will cost about 40 thousand rubles, and most of this money is spent on wages for tuners.

The turnover of an "off-road" tuning studio can reach several hundred thousand dollars a year, and there is no sharp competition in this market.

All cars are built according to an individual project, only the craftsmen know their features, so that they can be provided for their whole life, from construction to the way to the landfill. And even if the owner sells the car, it usually stays with us anyway. The most important thing in our business is to earn trust, it takes time.

Well, in conclusion, I would like to say. A car in our time is not just a means of transportation. It's like a girl, you want to look after him. And a lot of drivers strive to make their own car. The tuning business is very conceptual in its benefits and in the ease of its development. There are still few competitors in this business, real competitors who can compete in our tuning market. To start this business you need:

Initial capital, without it, there is no place.

Premises (garage) or just intermediary participation.

And most importantly, the desire to earn.

I wish you success.

Ready ideas for your business

Thanks to the network, hotel booking has become more convenient, because now you can quickly find and place an order on one of the hotel booking sites. Let's find out what is needed to create such a resource.

Car tuning services abroad have long been a highly profitable business. There is interest from clients in this service in our country as well. So far, mainly small and medium-sized companies based in garage complexes and close to the car markets are engaged in this business. The demand for these services is growing at a fairly fast pace, and the competition in the market is still insignificant. Experts who understand this matter and loving carshave a chance to open their own car tuning firm. Now this type of small business is quite promising and brings good profit to its owners. Read more about starting your own tuning business below.

First of all, services for finishing a production car relate to increasing engine power. Basically, it is interesting for drag and street racers, whose army is constantly growing. But in addition to increasing power by making changes to the motor design, there are other popular types of tuning. Engine power can be adjusted upward by tuning the control unit, otherwise it is called chip tuning.

Interior specialists can tune the interior by installing sophisticated acoustics, DVDs, leather seats, etc. Finally, the production car model can be changed purely externally by equipping it aerodynamic body kit, anti-wings, moldings. This will give it a sporty look and will please the pride of the owner who has joined motorsport.

As a rule, each tuning studio has its own specialization, the direction in which they can provide the highest quality services. Firms that undertake complex tuning are still very few on the market.
Car manufacturing companies are quite jealous of changes made to the design of a production model by craftsmen who do not have factory equipment or tools for analysis and control. Moreover, from the performed tuning, even at the level of software changes, the car engine wears out quickly, and its operation requires more expensive lubricants and fuel.
An increase in the power of cars in tuning ateliers is not fixed by anyone anywhere, and it is often simply impossible to find traces that the engine has undergone changes.

Not all cars are created equal for tuning. There are models that experts will never undertake to fine-tune or some kind of alteration. And the point is not that these are perfect cars, but quite the opposite. The engines of such cars, after tuning, do not last long and soon simply fail. And the owner can then present a claim for a breakdown to a tuning studio.
Be that as it may, but tuning motors is in demand and it can be expected that over time the demand for these services will only grow.

An easier business in the field of tuning for companies that are engaged in improving the comfort of the car interior. Experts note that the possibilities for installing modern equipment are approximately the same for almost all machines. Therefore, everything here is limited only by the amount that the owner of the car can pay for car music, leather in the cabin and other "bells and whistles". At the same time, the most modern acoustics can be stuffed with both a modern car and a car of 30 years old. The cost of installing the equipment is about half the cost of the equipment itself.
In order to be able to provide such services, it is necessary to start up about a million rubles. This money will need to be spent on boxing equipment for handling cars, purchasing equipment and hiring craftsmen who will turn the vehicle into a disco on wheels. Although it is possible to start a business of installing music and video in cars almost from scratch, with a garage, a minimum set of equipment and your own skillful hands.

Another segment of the tuning services market is the external transformation of cars and giving them a sporty aggressive look. To organize such a tuning studio, not large costs are required. Salon specialized in external tuning may not even have their own production facilities. Such companies can simply be intermediaries between car enthusiasts who want to transform their car and manufacturers of attachments. Here it is required to agree with the customer the shape and model of future bumpers, fenders and moldings, place an order with the manufacturer or dealer of such spare parts, install after completion and give the customer a finished product. In this case, the customer pays for the cost of spare parts and installation.

Installation work is the main income of these companies and is calculated as a percentage of the price of the body kit. This is approximately 25% of the cost. Considering the small overhead costs, such a business provides a very good profitability. By tuning several cars a month, you can earn from 20 to 60 thousand rubles a month.

Recently, there has been a tendency when tuning companies are divided depending on the brands and types of cars. Now in the tuning market, there are several main segments. These are companies that are engaged in product development domestic auto industry and firms specializing in the "construction" of jeeps. And finally, tuning ateliers dealing with sports car models.

In the first case, the services are designed for those who have a second car and this car is domestic. The fact is that with the price of the VAZ G8 at $ 8 thousand, "charged" with full car can be sold for $ 15 thousand. And on the other hand, for many a tuned "eight" or "ten" is an opportunity to "drive" as much as possible, then crash the car and share the impressions received with comrades and friends. This segment of the market is the most massive, but you can not earn much from one car.

The second, quite developed direction of tuning is tuning off-road vehicles. This industry is for those who are a fan of their jeep. Such tuning is a very capital-intensive event for the client, and for the performers it is a very good and stable income. Stable because those who are serviced in the same tuning studio will do this throughout the life of their jeep.

Tuning sports cars interesting primarily for street racers and people who want to squeeze more power out of their sports car. Here the main efforts of the craftsmen are applied to increasing the power of the iron horse. In terms of profitability, tuning sports cars is in second place after finishing off-road vehicles.

It is also worth noting that airbrushing of cars is beginning to gain popularity. More and more often, cars can be seen in cities, turned almost into works of art. For the organization of this type of tuning, it is important to have high quality artists. They will have to pay a considerable salary, if it is not possible to ensure a constant flow of customers, the business may become unprofitable.

The ideal business model of a tuning studio is one that focuses on a specific segment of this market, for example, SUVs and offers the client a full range of services. From the trade of car audio, video equipment and other tuning accessories to the full range of works on fine-tuning cars. It is not cheap to organize such a tuning studio, but in this business model you can count on a constant stream of customers.

Setting up a small tuning studio costs about the same as opening a simple car service. But there is one peculiarity here. Car service services will always be in demand, and the tuning company has yet to find customers. Therefore, before starting such an enterprise, it is advisable to have a few good clients in mind. And if the quality of work is at a decent level, other car owners who want to transform their car will be drawn to your salon.

How to open a tuning studio and will it generate income? Services of this kind have long been in high demand abroad. There is an increase in the interest of motorists in this service in our country. Small and medium-sized companies located on the territory of car markets and garage cooperatives are engaged in similar activities.

The demand is growing fast enough, the competition is low. Experts with experience in this matter have every chance of a successful business in the field of car tuning. This type of activity is promising and can bring a good income to the owner.

Non-obvious features of auto-tuning business

Above all, standard vehicle modification services involve an increase in engine power. This is of interest to street racers, whose numbers are growing rapidly. In addition to increasing power by changing the engine design, there are other areas of tuning. Engine power can be increased by tuning the control unit, which is called chip tuning. Interior specialists can make changes to the interior of the car by installing modern acoustic equipment, leather seats, etc. Finally, changes in the car can be purely external, for this they install moldings, spoilers, and rear wings. This gives the car a sporty look and is in high demand among people who decide to join the sport.

A tuning studio usually works in any one direction, there are few companies providing full tuning services. Car manufacturers are jealous of any changes to the production model, especially if they are the work of craftsmen who do not have special equipment and controls. In addition, the slightest change in the design of the engine can lead to its premature wear. An increase in the power of the car in the tuning studio is not registered, and it is impossible to detect any changes when inspecting the engine.

Not every car can be tuned. Even the most experienced specialists prefer not to take on some car models. And it's not that these machines are perfect. On the contrary, their engines quickly fail after the changes made. And the responsibility for the breakdown falls on the tuning studio. Be that as it may, engine tuning is in high demand, which will only grow over time.

It is somewhat easier to start your own business in the field of improving the comfort of the cabin. Everything modern cars provide the same opportunities for installing new equipment. Therefore, the changes made depend on the amount that the motorist is willing to invest in the modification of the cabin. Modern acoustic equipment can be equipped as modern carand a car from the 80s. The cost of equipment installation services is 50% of the cost of the equipment.

How much money does it take to open a car tuning studio

To open an enterprise providing such services, a novice entrepreneur must prepare at least 1 million rubles. The initial investment includes renting a box for tuning a car, purchasing equipment and finding employees who can turn the vehicle into a club on wheels. A car interior design business can be started from scratch with a garage and special equipment.

How to start opening your own tuning studio?

Which room to choose for a tuning studio?

You should start by finding a suitable room. Most often, entrepreneurs starting their own business in this area opt for renting or buying a garage. This is the most economical option that will help you get a stable small income. However, in this case, it will not work to get a large number of customers, because the car service located in the garages inspires confidence in few people. Leave the garages as early as possible and rent a separate building. Much depends on the location of the future tuning studio. The organization of convenient access roads is important.

As for the area of \u200b\u200bthe box, it should provide the opportunity for free placement of cars and access to inspection pits. A separate room should be set aside for the reception area, where clients can familiarize themselves with the work. The opening of a tuning studio involves the equipment of utility rooms, an administrative department, and a waiting room for customers.

Personnel search for a car tuning workshop

The success of a business largely depends on the qualifications of the staff.

It is the search for masters that is the next item in the business plan. Experienced car mechanics, auto mechanics, electricians should be hired. They can be found in existing car services or by ad. You should pay attention not only to the length of service, but also to the opinions of clients about this employee.

Specific personnel include airbrushes. These specialists are chosen by carefully studying the portfolio provided. You will also need a customer service and parts manager. When choosing suppliers, consider their reputation and rely on positive reviews... At first, spare parts and equipment should be ordered in small quantities, especially if your atelier does not have a warehouse. The best examples of technology should always be in sight of customers.

Opening a tuning studio requires a lot of investment, about the same as organizing the work of a car service. However, if the services of auto repair shops are always in demand, your atelier will have to spend a lot of time looking for clients. Therefore, the search for the target audience should be done at the stage of drawing up a business plan.

If your company will provide high quality services, motorists will willingly come to you. The return on investment depends on many factors, the risks are assessed as high.

How much can you earn at a car tuning studio

When calculating the estimated profit of the future studio, it is necessary, first of all, to take into account the specialization of your workshop. For example, a small drawing (airbrushing) costs $ 400-500, and an increase in the engine power of a foreign car costs $ 200.At the same time, the items of production costs of different car tuning studios do not differ much and include:

• rent;
• advertising;
• communal expenses;
• staff salaries;
• purchase of consumables;
• taxes;
• and other costs.

The total amount of the listed expenses, basically, is at the level of 23-25 \u200b\u200bthousand dollars / month. The monthly revenue of the car tuning workshop vehicle 27-30 thousand dollars. Under such conditions, profit before tax is 2-7 thousand dollars, and after taxes - 1700-6000 dollars / month (USN 15% of the difference between income and expenses).

What documents are needed to open an auto-tuning studio

Unless you plan to create a huge network of workshops throughout the country and you have no others good reasons to register an LLC, then in this case it is enough to issue the IP documents. To do this, you need to write an application, prepare photocopies of the TIN and passport, and pay the state fee. These papers are transferred to the tax office, and in three days you will become a legal business entity.

The auto tuning workshop must have documents confirming the fact of compliance with sanitary standards and fire safety rules. These issues are within the competence of Rospotrebnadzor and the fire inspection. At the same time, given the high concentration of hazardous substances and equipment, be prepared for frequent visits by employees of these institutions.

In addition, you must issue:

• premises lease agreement;
• personnel contracts;
• garbage collection agreement;
• permission from the local administration.

OKVED for auto tuning studio

An important point! When preparing an application for registration with the Federal Tax Service, do not forget to indicate the code of your activity, according to the all-Russian classifier - OKVED 50.20.3.

Which tax system to choose

The optimal taxation regimes for a car tuning studio are UTII or STS. But this issue is regulated by local authorities, so there are no guarantees that in your city you can open a car repair shop and work at UTII.
