good idea! wish this post was 2 months ago before i did the clutch in my van, would have been easy on a ramp, not so easy on axle stands in the mud and the dark
im only down the road so will bear it in mind for future jobs.
out of interest, what sort of prices do you charge? say for example for a day/weekend?

cheers everyone for your support.

im presuming that im going to be busiest at weekends so am going to have to sacrifice sat/sundays.

im looking to open in the week from 10am-4pm,then re-open at 6pm and run to 9.30.
sat/sun im looking to open 10am-6pm. regarding prices im thinking Ł20 per hour during week for ramp and Ł15 per hour for floorspace and at weekends Ł23 per hour ramp and Ł18 per hour floorspace.
valeting trolley will be Ł35 which includes an hour floorspace rent and use of all the valeting equipment i have.

prob going to stay closed one day in week when its prob least busiest.ive took my foot off the gas with cars at the mo as the job was doing my head in-will prob still do a few but im trying to channel all my time/money into this at the mo so just hope it takes off.
