I pretty much agree with whats already been said. its a hard, cut throat industry to be in and very hard to make serious money in it. That said, some people, myself included aren't in it for the money alone and job satisfaction and being your own boss are often worth more to my daily life than ££'s in my pocket.
I put a list on here once of the overheads of running a garage in the UK. Worth looking for. If you cant find it and are interested, let me know and I will scour my PC for it.

Congratulations mate, long may it continue to grow.
