SHADE

So you have just graduated small engine repair school,or just would like to get
into the business.
Well first of all save some of those advertising dollars,if your the new kid on the
block.Word of mouth goes a long way in any business.
All you have to do to get in the business assuming your good at repair is to take
some of those advertising dollars and scour the area you live in for mowers
setting up in peoples yards, you can see them by driving by a lot of times.
Stop and ask them what they plan on doing with them.Dont tell them you know
how to work on them, nine times out of ten they will get rid of them for a little of
nothing.
Next after you have aquired several mowers.OH,and try to get the ones that are
complete, not the ones torn apart with pieces everywhere.
Now you will find, you will have to buy batteries, fix tires, replace solonoids and
whatever simple things that stopped them from working in the first place,but
now importantly they are yours.Fix them and sell them through your local paper
as used mowers.You can double your money this way a lot of times.
Also as you sell one, you agree to repair it for the person buying,should
anything go wrong.Trust me, they will spread the word,plus you will be making
money and getting free advertising this way.Also people will see you working
on these mowers you have aquired and if you live in a high traffic area where a
lot of people see you.People will stop by and ask you if you work on small
engines without any type of sign advertising it.

I know of an individual who graduated from repair school and actually was a
pretty good mechanic,bought a small building, put an ad in the paper and waited

He was closed up in six months working in a factory,simply because the school
didnt give any marketing advice as above.Word of mouth is the most powerful
advertising there is.

If you follow the above advice, you will find eventually that you want have time
to scour the area for potential profit selling used mowers you fix,they will be
bringing them to you.
