muffler and brake shop

Back in the day I worked at several of them. It was good until about 10 years ago for the exhaust side. In order to survive today you need more than just muffler and brakes. Heck my 93 Crown Victoria still has the original exhaust. Brakes, custom bending, steering, suspension, and tune-up will be some of the things you will need to plan on doing in todays world. You can get by with a few car-truck lifts and do the motor homes outside on the curb as we did back in the day. You will need 2 brake lathes torches and a scan tool. Another point is most rotors are made so close to throwaway thickness by the time you get a brake job they are scrap already before turning. Do not watch your brake lathe run when you are cutting you are wasting time on other jobs. Good luck.
