Sweet idea Shaz. Go for gold man. Like you said. you won't get a better opportunity to start it up. Who knows what it could bring.

Hahaha fark yeah. Those SSS's go mad. ADvanced timing + intake + extractors

I wish. The series we are running in doesn't allow that shizz. Gotta keep it stock-ish.

Who knows what it could bring.

I know.........money $$$$$$$$$$$

I'm talking about opportunity and growth.

[Sven Smergberd]

Yeah, its one of those things. Sitting here at the bank watching cubts get richer and richer, I've realized I don't wanna do this shit for ever. I should be in shorts and thongs, not a suit.
 
Quality of life, I think this might be the way to go.
 
Niko - Lets tee it up for next weekend. Tint should come next week.

Sweet as, how long you need the car for?

[Shaz]

Its not really about the money tbh. I mean, money is nice, and I'd like to earn lots of it, but its a quality of life thing for me.

 

Getting up at 6am, to get to the city by 8:30, then leaving at 5 to get home at 7pm is not working for me. Yes, its good money, yes its a good career, but 13 hour days isn't sustainable. I'm sure most would say leaving a 6-figure job to tint windows is crazy.

 

I can't see any reason why it couldn't work. I'd need alot of help, promos, leads, etc, but if some of my derro mates can start their own businesses and do quite well, there's no reason why I can't.

Couple of hours tops.

 

Theres a shopping centre near my place you can go walk around while it gets done.

[Sven Smergberd]

Cool, yeah Warringah Mall? You're up near Beacon Hill? Let me know what time you want me to head up. I can do Sat or Sun.


And as for starting your own business, I helped my wife build her practice. We started with 1 day and 1-3 clients a week in 2012, she now does 3 days in her own practice with about 16-18 clients, plus another 12 subcontracting for a city practice. It was scary at the start but now she can safely say she made the right choice. Mad scrilla. Have to do something with all our money

It's all about referrals, you let enough mechanics, dealerships and car clubs know about you and you'll have a never ending stream.

[Shaz]

Yep, I figure that I know enough people, and hopefully over the years, I can go back and be like "Hey, I need you to let everyone know im doing this now..." that enough business will come my way to be able to make something of it.

 

You wanted 20% hey?

[Sven Smergberd]

Yeah, 20% will be good.

Fuck yeah do it shaz!!!! Failing you get the business. Bunnings is always hiring casuals.

[Shaz]

fork yeah do it shaz!!!! Failing you get the business. Bunnings is always hiring casuals.

 

Yeah thats it.

[Sven Smergberd]

I would kill to work at bunnings!! Only because I would steal so much shit.

[Shaz]

If I worked at bunnings, my salary would likely be paid in items from bunnings I don't need.

 

Also, sausage sandwiches for days.

Silver car needs tint

How much ?

[Shaz]

$300 flat rate for everyone on here.

 

Lifetime warranty, metal tint, etc.

[Robert]

Sounds good, put me down. No rush though, in a couple months or whenever.

Payed more to get the white car done a couple months ago

[Shaz]

Yeah heaps of places can charge like $600+ for tinting.

 

I wish I could charge that much.

[Shaz]

Actually, heres a question for you. Considering I'm doing you cubts deals at $300 a car, if you went somewhere else, what kind of figure would you EXPECT to pay to get your car tinted?

 

Mainly market research for me.

[hoff]

My local guy charged me $480 a couple of years ago for a gen4 wagon and sunroof. Inc removal of the old tint.

I paid $500ish for 18% on my honda, that was through Tint-a-Car or some chain like that.

[Hypnotic]

Yep, normally about $400, maybe $500 if needing to remove previous tint.
