Hi

Our shop (me and my brother) now is base at johor , i was thinking for a long times ago why not open another shop at KL/ PJ/ Damasara / Pandan Indah etc.....

so what do you guy think ?

which area is the most easy to come by , no jam , got a lots of car park , big shop house area , cheap rent..hehehe

this shop is going to sell & install some performance parts / car audio part & engine convertion , drifting car upgrade , bolt on turbo kits, ECU upgrade & tune , suspension upgrade .

is almost like a workshop more than a detail shop .

klgauto,
Personally, you can open a shop anywhere but if your prices are not cheaper than other places, chances are that people will still go other places, even if your location is convenient. But from what I know (which is actually not so much haha), auto and performance parts can't differ very much. I thought you opening a new dim sum joint in ss2 that'll whack all other dim sum joints. hahaha

Anyway, in terms of locations, PJ and KL area would usually be quite pricey. I ain't too sure about Sunway though but in Sunway, you'll face lots of competition. Another area that could make your shop stand out is excellent service. I ain't sure about others but if the service is great, I won't mind paying that little bit more. Maybe you could include some china girls for bang time for the customers while their car is being done up. hahaha

all I can say is you are not the first and the location you have in mind is either around Cloud9 area or damn kau expensive .

I see you got IASCA in 92, you do DbDrag too? Do you remember an RF equipped van that looks like space shuttle inside?

maybe should try cheras area..i think cheras business for car mods would be a booming business.. as ppl from cheras dun need to travel all the way to sunway.. i live at cheras and to send my car for sevice and pick up so troublesome.. far away.. and jam...thus now cheras has a few college.. and you know lar.. college students like to play with cars... so maybe cheras.. kah kah.. if you open in cheras.. i bring a few kaki... to see what you got..

klgauto,
Can't cook ar? Then nevermind la. We go for dim sum when you're down in PJ or KL area, word? (word meaning, "ok?") hehehe Maybe you can try opening one at Genting Highlands. After modifying, people can drift downhill hehehe And it's a cooling place too. hehe So in short, it's a cool place to open an auto shop. haha

Puchong, if you are in Puchong Perdana, also got a lot of shops probably 10 including those that don't do mods. Puchong Jaya got about 6 shops. And at least 2 shops in Bdr puteri, Tmn Industri and some areas. It doesn't help that there are 5 halfcut shops around here. I think its competitive.

Open shop at Bukit Jelutong area (anjua) :D .

Depends on what type of market you are dealing with. High end stuffs sure Sunway. If target at low-mid market, anywhere also will do. But make sure to open a shop nearby a tire shop (if you are not dealing with alignment/camber type of things). If got car wash, some more better.

Let me know if you are giving 'extra' services :D I'll be your loyal customer :D
