Fletch Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share Posted March 18, 2009 Cheers, I was gonna be having to make around 2k a month to cover all bills and pay myself a crap wage, that and the lease was for 3 years so if i couldnt get the work in i would have been stuck with the rent to pay!!

H5 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Is there any way you can get a space at another mechanic's place and 'rent' the space off them? Then you can advertise and have a location for people to go until you get set-up enough to run the whole show yourself? It is a shame it can't get up and running.....
